    3 silkie roosters out for blood

    I happened upon 4 silky roosters someone had heartlessly dropped off on the side of the road to fend for themselves in coyote and Fox country in November. Personally, I just couldn’t imagine doing that to a chicken or any living thing. Regardless,I was able to corral them and brought them to my...

    Losing feathers

    I have checked her and the other three of my flock for lice and mites and found none but treated them anyways. I try to keep their coop impeccable. I just did a complete spring cleaning a month ago. Full litter change, spray down, diatomaceous earth… The whole works. They’ve always been on ACV...

    New baby duck can’t lift her neck

    Don’t put her down. If it’s her time to go, she will pass and if it’s not, wouldn’t that be a blessing if you were surprised and got up one morning and found her prancing about.

    Losing feathers

    My chicken seems fine. Otherwise, she’s eating and drinking and passing all her food, but about three or four weeks ago, she lost the majority of her feathers on her underside, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

    Bare spot on chest

    Bare spot on chest

    I should’ve noted that she seems to be eating fine and moving around not lethargic. Also since I’ve got them I’ve only been getting three eggs a day, so I’m guessing that she’s the one not laying. But as I said, I am new to chickens, and I haven’t a clue.

    Bare spot on chest

    I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m new to chickens and I recently got what I believe are Rhode Island reds. One of the girls has a bald spot on her chest and also her tail feathers look wet. I’m wondering if she’s molting or if it’s something else. I’ve attached two pics for reference. Same...
