Shes less than a year old, weve had her since she was 10 weeks old and shes laying, shes kept as a pet mostly, the other hen is very tame and jumps on people's laps and the chicken that has passed away a few months ago was also very tame, Ive tried hand feeding her but she only takes a few pecks...
My black colored Cochin is growing white feathers, shes less than a year old, does anyone know why?
Her fluffy feathers seem also brown when it used to be black
She also used to have one white feather in her neck when we got her
Thanks for the advice :):ya
polish chickens look beautiful!
I'm in a temperate marine climate.
I just love being around chickens, theyre cute and its entertaining to watch them do their thing, different coloured eggs would be cool but I dont really mind the color of the eggs.
I have two young cochins who are 2/3 of a year old, I'm getting new chickens in spring, but I'm not sure what breed I should get, should I stick to cochins or get a new breed?
One of my cochins is very territorial and aggressive to other chickens.
My chicken follows my old cat everywhere, my cat is used to chickens and hasn't attacked any chicken in 4 years, should I still be worried about her curiosity for cats?
The swelling feels firm but not rock hard, she doesnt flinch or have a strong reaction to having the swollen areas touched, the top of her head by her comb seems also slightly swollen, she has no wounds on her body.
I checked inside her beak again and she has a pale/yellowish tongue, the swelling isn't worsening but it's still there and she's still fatiqued and sleeps a lot, she also lost some weight and feels a bit warmer than normal.
