Hello! I've just noticed that one of my chickens has very red skin on her face. And another one seems to have lost feathers around her eyes. Any insights would be appreciated.
I'm new to raising polish chickens. I have 2 buff polish chickens and I've noticed their crests are quite dirty from rain and dirt ( I've been on vacation the last week). What is the best way to wash their crest?
I'm new to raising chickens. I am wondering if this lone chicken is the queen Bee in the photo. I have seen her peck at a few birds but she is skiddish too, maybe just around me. I see from the camera footage she did get closer to the rest of the flock last night. I had to add another roost spot...
Just wondering what I should do for my poor Paris. She has been loosing feathers on her neck, I'm assuming from pecking or molting. Saw blood this AM. I've moved her into her own pen but for how long? Should she be in the coop at night or keep her by herself? Do I clean the wound?
Hi! I'm relatively new to having chickens. I've just introduced two 16 week old chickens to my folk. I had to increase more roost areas as the older girls wouldn'tlet the younger ones on the roost. In the poop tray this morning I found an egg with yolk but no shell. Any thoughts? I don't know...
