    Review by 'classicsredone' in article 'Do Poultry Mourn Over The Loss Of A Flock Mate?'

    Grief and depression in birds is real. They do mourn, and at varying levels based on species. We are currently dealing with a Pilgrim gander, Bob, that has been diagnosed by our avian and livestock veterinarians. His mate made a clumsy attempt at flying out of the electrified poultry netting...

    Wet Fowl Pox, or the Journey to Mordor and Back

    Ugh. Two more with lesions. The three have minor lesions on the comb and we will give those some help nutritionally and treat the lesions with iodine since it has been so effective. Thankfully, nobody else is showing wet lesions. We mucked the coops and sterilized waterers and moved the boys and...

    Wet Fowl Pox, or the Journey to Mordor and Back

    I think we have confirmation that is Fowl Pox. One of my bantam pullets has small lesions on her comb. She'll be quarantined and we'll vaccinate the flock this afternoon/evening when I have some help. I

    Wet Fowl Pox, or the Journey to Mordor and Back

    Happy to report that little.miss Blueberry is doing very well. She has put on over a pound in the past 2-3 days, and has had some big poops. We spaced out the Motrin today from every 8 hours to every 12, following the poultrydvm.com instructions. After giving her time for the Motrin to kick in...

    Wet Fowl Pox, or the Journey to Mordor and Back

    She has some on the outside where we, as humans, get cracks when our lips are very dry. I get antibody infusions, and when we were trying to figure it out my RN was here. Obviously, she's not a veterinarian. My sister has seen wet fowlpox in her flock. We were going down the list of symptoms and...

    Wet Fowl Pox, or the Journey to Mordor and Back

    Fowl Pox is gross. There is no way around it. It smells gross, it looks gross, and it is contagious. One of our lf Langshans had white gunk in her beak one week ago. It was just a bit on her tongue and at the front of her lower beak. It didn't look like wet fowl box when I researched. The next...

    New project: mixing local breeds from around the world

    I would love to stabilize a gorgeous yellow achieved by crossing a millie fleur d'uccle. They were gorgeous but we could not breed and had to rehome the beautiful golden cockerels. I excited to see what you get!

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    I just don't know what this is. She is this bald on her belly, as well. Tomorrow, she goes to auction because it isn't fair to keep her like this. I have tried everything. Feeds, supplements, preventing plucking, etc. She has grown a few, but the just fall out of the follicle as if she is...

    Langshans

    ...crummy luck when it comes to the pullet/cockerel ratio. We got four chicks, lost one, and the surviving three were all boys. We hatchedsome and I *think* we have four boys and three girls. I want to build the flock and add genetic diversity. The kids are in 4H, so we are looking for pullet...

    Need expert opinion!

    This is an older thread, but I got my Langshans from a breeder that has a pen dedicated to developing the pink color. I have not seen any as pink as the middle of that picture. They are definitely a duskier pink than bright pink. The underlying color makes a big difference. I would ask to see...

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    They roost. We have a lot of roost space and none overlap, so there is no chance that they will be pooped on by others. There are roosts in all four corners, as well as a lower roost running the length of the coop for those that can't or don't care to get up to the higher roosts. Right now the...

    Why does my barred rock look like this?

    TSC is so bad about labels. They had Cornish X marked as bantams. I would only trust their designations if you order online.

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    Okay. Got a wing picture. This bird had the worst wings of the three, although she is not the worst as far as the back and belly. The second picture is our Amercauana mix and she is the least affected. The redness doesn't appear to be irritation or infection in person. It looks like a birth mark...

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    I will have my husband post, but I am near certain that they never properly molted. I clipped their wings last year, and only a few feathers had regrown when we went to clip their wings today. I have not been out there as much with a high needs preemie attached toe, so I assumed they were fine...

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    I thought there were some. Sorry about that. I grabbed my DSLR and saw nothing using a macro lens aside from dust and dirt from bathing. These two had been dustbathing and that is what was on the skin. The redness is no warm or spreading much and has been there. After watching them on camera...

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    ...on her back, with even the downy feathers coming off. I don't pick her up much because she isn't cuddly, but she always has a few feathers at a 90* angle just ready to snap off. I am wondering if I should look into a skin scraping, or if we should just take the two we are not bonded with to...

    Feathering issues - creepy crawlies or mean girls?

    I forgot to come back to this. This is our coop when it was just completed. We have added a few things, such as roosts at different levels, their best boxes, etc. At this point we were moving the coop every few days, but we have deep bedding at the moment. In the summer, we prefer sand because...
