    Feather pecking to the point of bleeding

    Please be kind, I am trying so hard. I can’t seem to catch a break and am feeling like an absolute failure of a chicken keeper right now. We have had our only rooster in our house for over five weeks now due to frostbite on his feet, a horrible molt, and being picked on by his hens while he...

    Please help me help my rooster :(

    *slightly graphic photos - the one where he looks amazing is how he looked about 2 weeks ago* My heart is breaking for my poor cockerel, Odin. 9 months old. He has developed scabby, swollen, sore feet and toes and the hens have started ripping his feathers out nonstop. He’s normally a...

    Scaly Leg Mites?

    Hi guys - does this look like scaly leg mites? I posted in another group but I’d like a second opinion. I am having some trouble with my sweet Roo, Odin...he is 9 months old and going through what I think is his first molt (we’ve been having a very weird winter here in Alberta 🇨🇦) and today I...

    Bumble? Scab? Something else?

    Hi all, First off - apologies for the dirty chicken feet, it’s been so mucky here that it’s been impossible to keep up on but I’m just about to go give her a foot bath. One of my BCM hens (Feathered feet) has a scabby thing on her foot - it almost looks like a callus, but dirt is caked around...

    Pox Or Pecking Injuries?

    Mixed flock just shy of 22 weeks old. About 6/12 have these little black scabs on their combs and my one Roo has them on his wattles, too. Should I be concerned about fowl pox? It doesn’t look like the photos I see of pox but I’m not sure what else it could be. Everyone seems totally healthy...

    Could these eggs be from the same hen?

    Mixed flock of 20 week old hens..we got our first intact egg today! It was laid by one of my Marans, I watched it happen (magical!) We had an egg a day for the last three days, too, but they were all laid overnight from the roost so they were broken on the coop floor in the morning. I don’t...

    First egg - Exciting and heartbreaking at the same time!

    We finally got our first egg! Our girls are just over 18 weeks old. The good news - yay! An egg! The bad news - by the time I got to it (7 am this morning) it was on the coop floor, and cracked open, and the girl who laid it was playing with the shell. The shell was very thin and weak...

    5-6 weeks old..any guesses? I think I have either 3 pullets and 1 cockerel or 2 and 2, but I’m new to this so I’m not too sure. These have been really difficult to guess!

    5 week old injured toes

    First time chicken keeper here. I saw this on one of my 5 week old barred rock chicks. Hard to see in the pics but the middle left (chicken’s left) toe was bleeding a bit. I cleaned with surgical soap and applied stop pick so hopefully nobody pecks at them, but is there anything else I should...

    What on earth did I just buy?

    Hey all! First timer here. I was sold "ameraucanas" but nobody ever said anything about them being "true" haha...and I'm honestly not overly concerned, but I'm wondering what on earth they might be? EEs? Some kind of surprise mutt? Could they possibly be mottled ameraucana? They're super...
