    Five sick chickens of 30 in one week for unknown reason...help!

    It started a week ago, with an older chicken (probably 6 or 7) we noticed her comb fading, and not acting right, but still eating, drinking, but acting lethargic. Not going far from the coop....but hiding. Then she wouldn't return to the coop. She ended up with a very bloody vent, and we...

    Chicken's head/neck completely pecked by older chickens--What care should we administer? Graphic pic

    We had a young pullet (about 3 months old) that was integrated into our flock along with 5 other pullets. They have been together about two weeks. Two days ago, we separated her when she was pecked and had a small sore on her neck below her head. We cleaned and treated with bluecote, and she...
