    Is this a pecking order wound?

    I have a 3.5 week old show girl chick that has recently shown a fairly large sized raised lump with a scab on the right side of the neck. I have a total of 5 chicks I hatched under a broody hen. No other chicks have any injuries. They are separated from other hens. The chick is eating and...

    Chicken ran away... for a week??

    Lately, my Frannie girl has been a little Houdini and somehow escaping out of the chicken run. We could never catch her doing it and blocked off everywhere we could find she might be getting out, but we were unable to stop her. This Sunday, the 12th, we ran errands early afternoon. When we came...

    Hen pecking.. how much is too much??

    I have three hens currently, Frannie, Dorothy, and Nubz. Dorothy (standard size) and Nubz (bantam) are mixed breeds while we believe Frannie to be a Buff Catalana. I am having an issue with persistent pecking. Dorothy and Frannie are currently the only two laying. Everything was fine until...

    Three chickens.. what breeds are they?!

    I bought three chickies back in December from a local breeder and they were all supposedly three months. She claimed the large black one was an Orpington (I agree with), but then said the smaller black one was a Shumen and the orange one was a Penedesenca. I find these last two claims a little...

    DESPERATE...PLEASE HELP!

    My red star hen, about a month ago started having a problem with one eye like it was scratched. At the time, it was only the lower lid that would come up a little and even then it was only sometimes. Her personality was the same and she was eating and drinking fine. About a week later, the lid...

    Bumblefoot?

    Hi y'all, I just got home and let out my hens for the day when I noticed one has some small white bumps on her foot (just her right). I took a closer look and realized the two bumps had replaced her toes. I don't see anything else wrong with the foot and the other hens don't have the same...

    Hen off balance and other issues

    Hi y'all, I am growing more and more concerned about one of my hens. She is about 7 months and we were told she is a "Red Star" (looks like a RIR, imo). I have noticed a few weeks ago her comb is wilted and not as red as it once was and she was doing weird things with her neck. For instance...

    Baby chick with wobbly head?

    Hi y'all! So I recently purchased some chicks from a local farm, and I noticed one seemed a little bit different when she was handed to me. I took it with a grain of salt and brought her home. She is eating and drinking well and is getting along with the other 4. Temperature in brooder looks...
