    Molt or sick

    She has always been on the smaller side but it seems an odd time of year for molting. Maybe being picked on?

    Prolapse?

    This happened today - after soaking in warm water small pieces of shell came out of the cyst like thing and it drained fluid. I sprayed antibiotic on it and tried pushing it back in but it wouldn’t go. Now tonight it was dripping blood. Any thoughts?

    Something wrong with her butt

    Mine had this today. I soaked her and found egg shell pieces in it. It would go back in multiple times I tried. It is definitely smaller but noticed it was bleeding tonight when she was sleeping. Will see what happens in the morning.

    Thoughts on this?

    5 total have this issue on their back. Is it the rooster or maybe pecking at each other? I have another 5 orps that look normal.

    Broody hen egg hatched now what?

    Do I move the hen and chick? How does the chick eat? We have a rooster I’m concerned the rooster will peck at baby.

    Rough Rooster or Pecking?

    This is the first time we've had a rooster with our hens. Is this due to a rough rooster or is there pecking going on between the ladies? There are two more like this but the others are fine.

    Injury or disease?

    I have 2 Buff Orpington roosters that are very aggressive with the chickens and fight with each other. However, I am a little concerned about the comb. Any thoughts? It just recently got cold at night here in the Midwest so it’s not frostbite.

    Sorry I edited the title - wondering if the Lavender is an Orpington

    New here

    Hi all, I am a newly registered member. I have searched this site often and find it as a great resource. We received a mystery chick with our meat chickens back in late April and I'm not sure if he's a Lavender Orpington or Americana. Any thoughts?
