    Fowl pox and ear infection - 8 month old pullet

    I have an 8 month old salmon favorelle pullet who hasn't been feeling well since maybe yesterday. I looked her over on Sunday and she was fine, but had little waxy looking stuff by her one ear. Today, her whole ear area is swollen and her eye is gross. The stuff around the eye does not look...

    Pullet or Roo?

    I picked up two barred rocks from a pullet bin at Rural King like 2 months ago. This one here I'm really questioning whether it is a roo or not based upon behavior alone. This one and the larger one are similar in color. They are about 12-13 weeks old with the larger being at least a week older

    After years of asking- new chicken owner

    Hello! I have been wanting chickens ever since the town we lived in allowed up to 10 chickens per yard. My husband was adamant that we did not want or need chickens. It's been several years, we sold the house and moved rural. He finally said yes shortly after our state locked down. We are brand...
