    18wk old being pecked

    I just got four new 18 week old chicken. We’ve been getting new hens every year for about 6-7 years. We’ve always just put them in with the hens we’ve from the previous year.

    Chicken with mites?

    Thank you do much for responding. I'm actually have no idea what a mite looks like. The pick at them selves but not all that much. And I figure if one has then they all would have.

    Chicken with mites?

    If these feathers all disappeared in one day, then I would have to say it is cannibalism from the others. Mites irritate the skin for some time and the feathers get preened out or break over time. I would spray some Blu-kote on that patch of skin to help prevent infection and to keep the others...

    Chicken with mites?

    Here is a picture of my chicken. I'm not sure if she has mites. She lost her feathers on her wings within a day or so. I had left all my girls and guy in the coop one day because we had unusually low temps during the day and I did not want them out in it. So I'm not sure if she has mites or when...

    Mites?

    I also think my one chicken has mites. Not sure though because I had left them in the coop one day because it was below zero with even lower wind chills and the next day I noticed she was missing feathers. So I'm also thinking they ganged up on her while all stuck inside. Here are some pictures...

    Minimum run space for HAPPY chickens?

    Hi Xtina, I think that is plenty of space. They will be happy. Chickens in general love to free range. But they will be fine. You can put in weeds and leaves that they can scratch through. You can also give them hanging cabbage so they can peck and play with. Remember to give them an area...

    CHICKEN WITH WORMS.. I did not know chicken got worms!!!

    I need help!!!! I have a chicken that has lost lots of weight but is swollen in the belly area. I'm thinking she is egg bound. Her feathers are fluffed out and she stands around kinda like a penguin does. Raising chickens is still new to my husband and I. We have dried a warm water bath, and...
