Hi
Can anyone tell me what to do or if I need to do anything?
She has had this blister for months, seems healthy except it’s growing slowly bigger.
I have left her so far as she feeds etc ok.
hi
A sad mystery, this chick has lost toes, she was fine last week so it has happened in the last 4-5 days.
She is the only one of 7 that has a problem.
Have had no frost so not frostbite, we had downpour and temperature dipped last Saturday.
We’ve had rat bait taken but no sign of rats inside...
We have had chickens for 5 years now. 2 that are 5 are moulting. Am in U.K. And the weather here is autumn / fall with highs of 13 C and lows of around 11, last week went down to 7C.
Why do they start moulting as temp drops? We have 4 18mth old true breeds and 2 of them are beginning to moult...
Why do my chicks not go in their coop? We found them on the roof the other day, today they were on another high roof.
This is our 3 rd flock but not known behaviour like this! Other nights 2 are in the coop on the floor and 2 near the entrance. In most cases they don't seem to like going in...
Thanks, I thought they were Roos. The first chick is a maron I think due to fluff on legs....but can't work it out. I bought a mix of maron and Sussex eggs to incubate, so I guess it's possible that they are a mix?
