    Feather loss

    I will try really hard to get a picture but the chicken that has the problem doesn't like to be handled. I have a barred rock that has lost quite a few fethers around her bottom and now has lost feathers on her crop. The skin looks bright pink but other than that I see no signs of anything...

    Gold Sex-links being aggressive?

    I recently added to my flock and the chicks were let into the coop just a day or two ago. My two gold sex links immediately started attacking and chasing the chicks to the point of almost ripping one of my leg horns combs off. After reading some posts I have heard this breed can be aggressive...

    Long story but any info would be appreciated.

    I recently added a new rooster which upset the pecking order in my flock. It moved a chicken that wasn't there to begin with, to the bottom. She hasn't taken it well and seems to be losing some weight. Her comb has been blodied on different occasions and now it is pale and some of the areas...

    ok I have 6 year old hens currently molting so they aren't laying that often. This year I have 4 pullets that are like machines each day. For the life of me I can not get them to lay in the nest boxes. They always pick one corner of the coop. I even moved a box to that corner and laid next...

    Feathers pulled out from fighting.

    In the last month we have acquired a new rooster. added him to the flock and one of the hens seems to think its her job to fight him. I am aware that he has to work his way up the pecking order but my question is, how long does it take to regrow feathers after they have been pulled out? Thanks.
