I have 3 polish chickens, and one of them is acting very confused lately. She is a white splash, and has a HUGE poof on her head. Everyday when we open the coop to let them free range, she stays inside and just sits there. She also can't see me sneak up on her, maybe she can't see her...
thankyou. We originally had roosts nailed into the wall that were 3 feet high but they never used them. Their coop is in a barn and the thing he roosts on is a structure support
The roots is maybe 8 feet high. It's actually a support for the coop but he uses it to roost on at night. I can't find any bumps or cuts, and by what I can tell there is no swelling.
I have three polish of my own. The two hens are named phillis (as in Phillis diller), and the other is named tuc (the ugly chicken) because she was hideous when she was little. I also have a rooster named baldie.
Just wondering, does anyone have chickens who fall asleep in your arms instantly...
I have a young polish rooster who has recently started limping. There is no sign of bumblefoot, and I can't find any sign of a break. He also started roosting recently. Is there any way he could have torn our sprained a muscle? If so how should I treat it? Also, is there any special way I should...
Haha... honestly I wouldn't mind the foxes that much if they just took one or two chickens every once in a while but we have so many chickens on our road and there are so many foxes that when they come they tale all of my chickens which is only 9. My dad has shot one Fox but before he shot that...
I feed my chickens all kinds of treats but normally just leave it for them... I will try feeding it to them by hand. Do chickens like to be touched in anyway? Thx Soupy ; )
I'm wondering, how do u make ur chickens nice enough to come to u. With all of my chickens I spend time with them when they're chicks but they still don't love me
So there are no cuts and it's not bumblefoot, but I think his lump it's getting better. Are there any special ways that I should inspect his leg to make sure it's fine?
