    Feather growth

    Thank you. I was afraid of that with the feather shafts. Do I need to worry about sunburn or anything? Is it painful/should I get her a saddle? Good to know about the rooster. I was pretty worried after everything for him to still be so red.

    Feather growth

    We had 2 issues in our flock, a guinea continuously attacking our black australorpe, Gretchen. Guinea was rehomed about 2 weeks ago. Then an outbreak of lice. The rooster, Captain, had a particularly bad case of the lice. We treated with permetherin twice a week apart and have not seen anymore...

    Broken beak treatment?

    That is what it looks like. A little bleeding near the top of her beak where it meets the skin. I applied vetericyn already.

    Broken beak treatment?

    One of our new Americana pullets seems to have injured her beak. They were just introduced to the coop last night after a few days of being caged nearby. All of our chickens are free range. The flock went out to graze and the 4 pullets stayed in the coop. Anything I can do outside of separation...
