Just picked up this pullet, her chest is huge and she was lethargic earlier. It feels soft not really hard and is distended. Her bone structure has a hard bone on her chest and stomach that I’m not use to seeing so I’m wondering if she is supposed to have her chest like this or if it’s something...
Almost three months old
I bought 13 chicks as straight run
I have four lavender orpingtons
Five black copper marans
Four “oliver egger” brahma Americana mixes, but i think one might be full brahma
And one that i was told is a mottled orpington, but it now looks more like a blue English.
I know...
I am getting a new rooster for my flock. He is suppose to be a black copper marans rooster, but I have been reading that you want your rooster to have just copper on hackle and saddle areas. This guy has some gold/yellow tones him, is that okay?
I just got these two barred rock hens and their tail feathers have been plucked and it looks like their buttholes are scabbed over and bleeding, any ideas on what the cause is or how to help them?
