    Nest box violence

    Hi, We have 12 chickens and 2 large nesting boxes with a third on the way. They do use both but of course have a favorite. I have one chicken that does not care about pecking order and will barge in on a higher pecking order bird while in the nest box and is relentless. It won't stop barging in...

    Fowl pox?

    Hi, Almost all of my 12 chickens have a tiny black dot or a few on their combs. They tiff a lot so I figured it was pecking injuries. However, now I'm starting to be concerned it could be the start of fowl pox. This is a picture of the worst looking comb

    White spots on comb or just comb

    Hi, I can't tell if this is a normal comb on my BO or not as far as I've noticed it's always been this way the white isn't actually raised, just the red and it's lighter in color. I read pale combs mean bad health same with white dots so really just wanna check. Thanks!

    Favorite Nesting Box Pecking

I read in...

    Chicken with one swollen eye

    Hello, I'm new to chicken keeping. I have 12 hens and one of my EEs has a slightly swollen eye. I've gone through all related BYC posts and hers doesn't fit those descriptions.

    Barred rock gender

    Out of our 12 pullets (all 4 weeks old), there is one that roosts and makes non crowing sounds, has a Pinker comb, and is getting braver and more straight in posture. We wouldn't mind a rooster since we have a lot of property. Any thoughts? [/IMG]
