    Does this like cocci poop

    I have 2 ameraucana hens that seem to do this weird "ghetto" neck roll on and off and sometimes stand up really straight. I came across this poop pile yesterday and was wondering if this looks like coccidosis poop. I included the neck roll video too

    Scaly leg mites???

    the dry skin and irritation is just strictly on the feet. No raised scales or dryness on the legs. Is this still considered leg mites or is it just dry skin from being picked on?

    I was given 6 laying hens a month ago from a neighbor. Out of that bunch are 2 EE. She said they are about 1.5 yrs old.

    I need help please

    I have this SLW....he/she is 6.5 wks old. Im so confused whether its a Cockrell or pullet. Its very mean/dominant towards my 4.5wk old silkies. It chases them, pecks them, keeps the 8 of them huddled tight in a corner and doesn't allow any of them near the food. Im 90% sure I'm going to rehome...

    Silkie feathering

    I'm new to the silkie breed and have recently added 8 to my flock. They are 3wks old. O was curious about the feathering on their feet. A few have tons of feathers while the others have barely any. Is this common? They are all the same age. Are heavy feet feathering a sign of cockrells? The...

    Normal hatchery color???

    I have 3 salmon faverolles that I got almost 4wks ago from my feed store. They are all supposed to be pullets. 1 is darker than the other 2 so I'm curious is if its because its from a hatchery and not a breeder?? Or is it showing Cockrell colors?

    Barred Rock mix???

    Today I took in 6 laying hens whose owner did not want anymore. I've owned a few BR before and none of mine ever had long tail feathers like these 2 have. Has anyone come across a BR that looks like this? Could she be something other that a BR?
