    !!Emergency!! Scalped chick

    I have 2 little light sussexes with a pekin mum, and they are at the ugly stage where their fluff is gone. Today, I got home and one of them had absolutely nothing on his head, the skin was raw, and there was dried blood on his neck feathers underneath. When I very softly touched it, it was...

    Is my chicken ill?

    Hi, I have a black copper maran hen who started laying around the 16th April. She laid a beautiful brown egg every day, with a rest 1 day a week. However, at one point, 3 of my hens, including her, all laid an egg with no shell, just the membrane, on the same day. I then found 3 incredibly...

    Adult hen thinks she's a baby chick!

    My silkie hen, Grape, was the only black chicken I had, until I hatched some black copper marans chicks, and she decided she was one of them! The mum, who is a pekin, is smaller than her, but she accepted it. Grape sleeps with them and is even almost cheeping like them, and now the mum has moved...

    Why did my chickie die?

    This morning I found another chick hatched, but it was attached to the shell by a weird gloopy lump. I thought it would get better if I left it, but when I got home it was dead!It had a red lump on it's bum and there was more red stuff on the straw. Any idea what happened? It was hatched by a...

    My broody hen is doing yellow poops with kind of grainy bits in it. Also, her crop feels really grainy and gritty, and it's much bigger than usual! Please help!

    2 roosters!

    I ended up with 2 roosters when I raised my chicks. I love them both! Do I need to sell one, or is there a way I could keep them?
