So our sweet boy here very much appears to be a rooster, but based on behavior not so much. He is the smallest chicken in the group of hens and sleeps tucked up underneath our two leghorn girls. Now we aren’t supposed to have roosters, but I feel horrible giving him to a place that says they...
ok so most of my hens stopped laying shortly after we brought in a rescued hen. I assumed they were mad at the new addition plus the weather has been weird. Then I noticed an excess of barred rock feathers so I assumed they were molting - and one in particular looks much smaller and you can see...
So we bought four chicks yesterday, by evening one of them had a bald swollen spot. Is it just her crop? Or should I be worried something else is wrong?
We just picked up 3-4 week old RIR and Barred Rack chicks this morning. All were fine, then this evening I discovered one with a huge bald section that looked like a swollen lump. Any ideas?
Hi everyone! Ok so I'm a first time chicken raiser, my Grandpa has had chickens on and off for years but this is a first for me. I have what are supposed to be 4 gold sexlink hens but it appears that 2 of them maybe reds....anyways!
Right around 10 weeks one of my girls developed crooked beak...
