I have a beautiful salmon faverolle rooster that I, unfortunately, need to find a new home for. His name is Elvis, born 5/1/21 so at the time of this posting he is approximately 16 weeks old. This spring I ended up with two surprise boys. I live in a town in New Mexico which has a rooster ban...

I have a sweet salmon faverolle rooster that I unfortunately have to rehome. His name is Elvis, born 5/1/21, so at the time of this posting, he’s ~16 weeks old. I live in Rio Rancho, NM which has a rooster ban but this spring I ended up with 2 males. I only have 11 girls but I really didn’t...

My 3 week old BO has bald spots/feather loss to her face. I just reviewed pics and videos since day 1, and it looks like around 3-4 days old it becomes noticeable. Initially I didn’t think she scratched at her face that much, but after going back and watching videos, she actually does seem to...

Hi All— Hoping someone can help me with this one. I’ve never had a chick that appeared to have bald spots on the face—not sure if it’s something to be concerned about or totally normal. She’s a 3 wk old Buff Orpington, super active, eats/drinks well, normal poop, good weight gain...she is the...

Hello friends. Could use some help and advice with sexing this little one. I picked up 4 babies last week, the other 3 were just a day old (and other breeds) and this one was already 2 weeks old so I don’t have that useful tool of comparing their body shapes, height, feathering...Also bummed...

I’ve been fighting canker in my flock for over a year. Initially seemed responsive to metronidazole, then had to change to ronidazole. That has seemed to keep it at bay but as soon as I stop treatment they are sick again within days. I’ve also done everything else I could find to help...

I was just noticing how much bigger my buff Brahma’s feet look compared to my dark Brahma. And although she started off the ‘runtiest’, she’s now by far the tallest and heaviest of my crew. She’s about 9 weeks old so I’m really praying she’s going through an awkward gangly teenage growth...

Any experts out there take a peek at my 4-5 week old dark Brahma baby and tell me what you think??? I don’t have any experience with this breed but this year got one dark and one buff and LOVE them both sooo much. I’m 99.999% sure my buff is a girl but I’ve had my eye on this one because she’s...

Just brought home 4 new chicks 2 days ago--we're now 4 days old :) I've been watching one really close (a Buff Brahma) since we brought her home because she seemed less active, more sleepy and isolated than the others. Today, another chick (a Buff Orphington) who had been very active the last...

Hoping someone can help me with this question fast! I've got a few hens that have symptoms of mites, initially scratching, restless, just not looking too great, and I've noticed some scaliness to their faces lately along with a few feathers lost. I treated the entire flock with topical...

Hoping there is someone out there that can help me with some dosages, I've been searching everywhere, not finding much but what I do seems to contradict. Looking for both individual bird dosage and flock (drinking water) dosing. Thanks!! :)

Sorry if this is posted somewhere else or if it's a silly question...I've searched and searched and can't find it so I'm hoping someone has the answer :) Maybe @dawg53 ???? I just treated my crew for 5 days with Safeguard for suspected gapeworm/capillary worms (and shockingly I'm starting to...

I've been trying to figure out what's going on with my little black australorp for almost a month now. Among a host of other things going on with my sweet girl, while being isolated and receiving a ton of TLC in the house, she also recently started laying, which at 25-26wks, was significantly...

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.... I posted about a week ago regarding my 6 month old hen that is having vision problems. She's definitely not fully blind but it's fairly significant. No cloudiness, no discharge, her eyes are dark but her pupil seems normal and reactive. I've...

Any help/advice/insight with my sweet young hen and her situation is much appreciated in advance. I'm new to this chicken keeping so I'll do my best at describing what's going on... 1) She is a black australorp, 24 weeks old and approximately 2.1kg. She's my only one of this breed so it's...
