    White on comb

    Hoping it’s just a dry comb then! It has been dropping into the 30s some nights so thanks so much for that warning - good thinking!

    White on comb

    I’ve noticed these little white patches on my buff Brahma’s comb. She’s acting normal and otherwise looks okay. She just went through a super hard molt but looks so much better now. All the other chickens are fine and don’t have anything on their combs. I’ve looked up pictures of Favus…I’m not...

    Vitamin Deficiency - 28 week old hen

    When this first started happening mareks came to mind and worried me but since she started improving on the poultry cell I feel like it’s probably vitamin related! I haven’t introduced any new chickens and all my chickens are from the same hatchery. No other issues with the rest of the flock...

    Vitamin Deficiency - 28 week old hen

    I have a Wheaton olive egger that started showing vitamin deficiency signs about 2 weeks ago. Started as a limp, I thought she hurt her leg so I separated her to a cage to rest. Then she got worse and she was very wobbly/could only scoot around a tiny bit. Once I realized it could be a vitamin...

    14 weeks - Chocolate Orpington

    This is my 14 week old chocolate Orpington. I’ve assumed it’s probably a cockerel since 5/6ish weeks when its comb was bigger and had more color than all the others. I know Orpingtons can have bigger combs but my buff Orpington from the same hatch day has a small comb with barely any color. I...

    Swedish Flower : Hen or roo?

    I got this chick from a hatchery as a pullet but I’m questioning things 😂 Swedish flower hen - 11 weeks old It was one of the sweetest chicks I’ve ever had - red flag #1 😂 It did develop a comb a little quicker with a little more color but it’s stayed consistently pinker than my other...

    I don’t see mites..should I treat anyways?

    I haven’t tried peepers yet! I feel bad because I know who’s doing it (at least some of it) but it’s not out of aggression or anything. Like I’ve seen them all laying out in the sun and the one just leans over and starts plucking and eating feathers like she’s preening them 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I did treat...

    What type of material for coop and run for extreme temperatures?

    I love sand in my run! Construction sand or river sand depending on where you live I know it can be called different things. It doesn’t get as cold here as it does in your area so I can’t speak 100% on that but I do know others who have colder temps also use sand. The sand is super easy to sift...
