    URGENT: Another Mite Question

    You have to make sure to scrub her feathers to get the liquid on her skin. If you don’t then the water will just run right off. I would spray diluted permethrin on her bedding to the point it is decently damp.

    Not sure where to ask, but I have a rooster spur question.

    His do look a little long and will possibly make him trip. It is always a good idea to trim them to be shorter as they are more useful in case of another hawk attack.

    sleeping outside of the coop.

    For your girl sleeping out side of the coop it could be space related. Or from my own experience, she just really is not smart and gets bullied out of the coop when she tries to go in at night. For the mice, I put out traps out by where the food is at night and locked my hens in the coop until...

    Spitzhaubens

    My absolutely show stopping chamois girl has fully molted and her crest is gorgeous! :celebrate Plus an extra image of her body type :) I would adore to have a good chamois rooster if I was able to have a roo where I live haha. Her color seems washed out in this lighting but she is super golden...

    Gold laced Wyandotte

    Pullet. The patterning looks like it could be male saddle feathers but those are most definitely not male specific feathers. She is just going to start laying soon.

    Blood splattered in coop

    That sort of looks like a broken toe nail based on where the blood is.

    Please help - why is my head hen balding??

    Mites leave those sort of bald spots on my birds. Check near the vent and her fluff under her vent for any signs of bugs. You should be able to spot them in the day.

    Rooster Aggression Directed at One Hen

    Your oldest hen could be not wanting to breed with him and he is trying to put her in her place. Him targeting her is not a good thing. I would remove the rooster for a week or two so your hen can catch a break. When your rooster comes back into the flock, hopefully he won’t be mean.

    Older hen with breathing/respiratory issues. At a loss

    @Wyorp Rock and @Eggcessive She sounds to possibly have some sort of respiratory infection. I won’t perscribe anything as a definite as I am not a professional at this, haha. I would suggest looking at Doxy-Tyl for your girl whilst we wait for more input. You can put it in her water. Jedds...

    Prettiest chicken breeds and plumage color

    A dominant white rooster will have pink/white legs if I am remembering correctly. I have a friend with a dominate white roo with pink legs because of those genes. i may be wrong, dont quote me on anything :oops:

    Prettiest chicken breeds and plumage color

    Barnevelders have some gorgeous feathers. If you want birds with funky hair, Cackle has appenzeller spitzhaubens with the most weird little hairdo, their coloring is also gorgeous. Speckled sussex and/or jubilee orpingtons for those colors.

    Spitzhaubens

    Pinkie posing! Her crest is all beaten up as well but I still like her shape. She’s the most flighty bird but shes cute :)

    what official breed is this? about 2-4 weeks old.

    Looks like a Tolbunt Polish.

    Legbar egg?

    Very possible for her to lay a green egg. She could be a legbar mix as well. Cute girl!

    Bantam Cochin… pullet or cockerel?

    Bantam cochins are usually super fluffy so they look to be a ton bigger than they are. They are around 12 inches long roughly? if you account for their fluff. But they are under 3 lbs. You can easily grab them with one hand.
