    rooster with canker sore in mouth

    On Thursday my rooster stopped crowing. His R. eye is closed shut and he won't eat. I started feeding him with a spoon and noticed he has a canker sore in his mouth. He won't eat on his own, his poop in soft white with some green in it. He sounds a little congested and has yellow crusty stuff...

    How clean do you clean your coop?

    I have posted several times about my RIR hens picking the feathers off of their necks. I haven't had any luck stopping the behavior. I have cleaned their coop but was wondering how good I should clean it. What do you do? Do I need to take the roosts out and scrub them with bleach - or is...

    muddy yard any problems with that?

    After all the rain we have had lately, the chicken yard has turned to muck! Are there any chicken problems related to them walking around in mud for most of the day? They do get out of their yard to free range for about 4 hours in the afternoon - once our dog is brought back inside. Thanks.

    what kind of chicken is this?

    I was told she would be a Comet? I think she is a mixed - maybe RIR and something else. Any suggestions? thank you.

    bare naked necks

    Hi, I have 9 Rhode Island Red hens that are 1 1/2 yrs old. About 6 of the 9 now have naked necks and some of the necks are bright red - no blood. I don't know why they are pecking out each others feathers (because of the location I think it impossible to peck out their own feathers) - I'm...
