    Severe mating injury

    I flushed out the wound again and smeared lots of Neosporin. I covered her cage with a white sheet to keep the flies out. The injury is under her wing. Rooster is a little over year old. again, Normally very gentle with his girls. This one seems to be the exception.

    Severe mating injury

    I had it wrapped but it didn't stay very long. I think she actually tore her skin more with the bandage fiasco, so I left it off for the time being. She's isolated from the flock and in a cage in my covered porch. She's eating just fine, acting normal. But I cringe every time I see that mess...

    Dry pox covering chicks eye

    I will try and get a pic. It's hard catching a chick in a 1500 square ft yard. Will triple antibiotic ointment suffice till I can get to the feed store?

    Dry pox covering chicks eye

    I have dry pox running through several of my chicks. One 3week old chick has it completely covering one eye and its scabbed shut. She eats and drinks and runs around just fine with the other chicks and mom a hen. Should I treat her eye with something? Leave it alone and let it heal? Is it...

    Hens or roos?

    That gives me some hope. Although these guys aren't Easter eggers. I know they are half Australorp and most likely Barred Rock since the neighbor I got them from has a few of those too. We shall see.

    Hens or roos?

    Neither of them have pointed feathers on their hackles despite the pattern. I don't mind if one is, really hope both aren't. I have two other hens with 6 chicks each and I am trying to get 9 hens one roo. I guess if both the ones in the pics are Roos I will keep em as long as they behave with...

    Any other hawaiians out there?

    Aloha Checking in from paauilo big island. Finally added chickens in addition to the rabbits we raise on the homestead. Gotta say, the chickens are so much more fun to watch and interact with. I have two Austrolorp x ??? And 12 astrolorp chicks being raised by two crazy hapa jungle fowl.
