    Possible scissor beak in chick

    not too familiar with “scissor beak” but im worried my 2 week old polish might have it.

Its been “shifting its...

    Silver laced or black an white polish?

    this polish chick i thought was a silver laced. But the more photos i find it looks like its going to have a white crest and black body. It doesn’t matter too much, just curious. It’s about a week old and supposed to be female.

These ducks grew up together all khaki cambells, yesterday i thought maybe an animal underneath the barn got to one of the ducks, so i moved the two into a stall in the barn, well this...

    One of my buff orpingtons got a deep nasty cut on its back and i have absolutely no idea where it came from. I let the hens out of the coop one morning (as I usually do) and noticed a deep cut on banty's back (she's really small so i named her banty. short for bantam). I couldn’t find any...

    Feather cyst?

    Noticed this lump on my frizzle? Its not to big but im worried.. it looks like her feathers are underneath the skin. Could this be a feather cyst? Going to the vet isn’t an option. She’s acting normal and she is under a year (around 4-5 months) its on her "shoulder" abover her wing bone

    Silkie crest almost completely gone and squinting eyes

    1st question: my silkie's (my favorite one, of course) crest is almost completely gone. I figure it's from the other hens pecking at her (i'm pretty sure, shes at the bottom of the pecking order) since jade (her sister basically..) passed away, shes been the only tiny silkie in a flock of...
