    Possible ingrown feather?

    Hello! I have a Buff rock (I believe) almost one year old. Acting normal: eating, drinking, pooping and laying eggs. I just noticed it today during a routine bottom and foot check- although it’s been about 2 months since the last one. I believe it is an ingrown feather? There is one on either...

    Adequate ventilation?

    I just wanted to make sure I have enough ventilation in our coop. We have two triangular cut outs with hardware cloth. Then a window that will stay open permanently. Is this sufficient for 6 chickens in a 5x5 coop? We are doing the deep bedding method as well.

    Hello all, I’m concerned about one of my chickens. She is an 8 week old California white. I though she had fowl pox due to small bumps on the bottom of her beak, both sides in the same location.
