    Feather picking and egg laying-PLEASE HELP

    We have 5 hens-all who are starting to lose (or have lost) their feathers on their back and around their vents. We have checked for mites and lice-don't see any sign of either.

    anyone think we have a rooster yet?.....help

    Hi, We are new to chickens and were told we have a 95% chance they are hens. However, one of the chicks has a comb developing a lot faster than the others (all the same age, 2 weeks and two days). They are Buff Orpingtons. The one we think could be a rooster is definitely the most...
