    Swollen eyelid or something else?

    I noticed that my Rhode Island Red had a swollen eyelid. My Rooster was rough housing them yesterday but I'm not sure if he's the culprit. It's very hard to the touch and a little crusty. Does anyone know what it could be and how to treat it? Could I put antibiotic ointment on it? Any...

    Rhode Island red Rooster or hen?

    Hey guys, I bought 2 sexed female Rhode Island red hens from the feed store about 10 weeks ago. I was feeding them this morning and noticed for a brief second this one did the feeding call like Roosters do when calling his hens when he locates food. She stopped but I started examining them...

    What's causing this?

    My girl has a bare spot on her bottom. I've noticed it a few weeks ago. Could this be mites? I see some small feathers growing back. She has a full, healthy coat except in her bottom area.

    Need help, my girl looks weak and sick!

    Guys about 1 month ago my hen got a big gash in her side from my Rooster while he was matting her. She needed stitches but we cleaned it, applied Neosporan and rapped it daily. The wound completely healed and we put her with the rest of her flock. Today upon examining her I noticed that she...

    Baby chick malnourished

    On Easter I acquired baby chicks. I've noticed a black chick that hardly ever comes out from the heat lamp/broader. I've also noticed that he can hardly apply pressure on one leg and flaps his little wings. He does come out to eat but compared to the other chicks he has hardly grown and is...
