    Rooster Wattle Curled Up on One Side

    Hi all, About two months ago my flock came down with a nasty respiratory infection - happily all but two recovered and the gals are back laying - and I'm a mite concerned about my rooster, Toby. His crow is still hoarse compared to what it was, and just last night I noticed that his wattle is...

    Swollen Right Eye, Bile, Eye Discharge, White Residue Around Mouth in Rooster

    When my brother went down to lock in the hens he sent me a message remarking that the hens were deep asleep already and some didn't even stir when he went in - this immediately struck me as very weird behaviour so I asked him to bother the hens and check their reactions - they're prey birds...

    Possible prolapse + limping

    Hi all, one of my hens was missing overnight and showed up this afternoon, but when I put her back with the others I noticed she was limping, and when I checked on her I notice her vent was covered in white (I think feces?) and there was a fleshy lump sticking out of her vent. Brought her in and...

    Rooster plucking out own feathers?

    Hi all, not sure what to make of this. My rooster, Bert, (Bluebell Bantam cross) has had these red streaks on the outside of his legs for months at this point, and I'm not sure what to make of it? I didn't think anything was amiss until I noticed my younger bantam rooster (Bruce) and his...

    Quarter Bantam Chicks

    Interesting one here for you all! My hen is hatching out the last of the first clutch sired by my bantam/bluebell cross rooster, and this little gal has (barred rock mother) has one of her mams feet and one of her dad's 😂 never seen anything like this before! Much as I am prone to worrying, I'm...

    Weird Behaviour in Bantam hen

    Hi all, I noticed this afternoon that one of my banties was standing in the middle of the garden, not moving, with her tail down and looking for all the world like she was roosting save for the fact she was in the middle of the garden on her own in 17°(c) heat. She hasn't really been leaving...

    Is this a quail chick/raising quail with bantams

    Hi all, My hen hatched out a mixed clutch last week (none of her own) and we're trying to work out what breeds the chicks are. Two look to be standard sized (or slightly bigger) and hatched from pale green eggs, two are definitely bantams, and the sixth we're not sure of. The breeder who gave...

    Is this mites?

    Hi all, I was checking over my silkies this morning and found this weird crystal like stuff lining her face and ears. She lives seperate from the rest of my flock with another silkie hen that's about a month younger than her and the other silkie doesn't have any of this on her. I checked the...

    Ideal weight for 1 month old silkie chicks

    Hi all, I hatched out three silkie chicks just about a month ago, on the 18/12/21, and have been weighing them: 16/01/22 White: 89g Brown: 92g Grey: 166g (somehow) 23/01/22 White: 192g Brown: 240g Grey: 369g I'm a bit worried about the white as she is consistently almost half the weight of...

    How do I stop my hens from laying in the winter?

    Bit of a weird one here. I've six hens of various breeds- two rhode island reds, a bluebell, a marbar, a buff-barred-rock and one that is potentially an astrolorp. They have total free range of our garden year round, about an acre, and are free to forage etc. on top of their daily feed of...

    Hen discharged clear liquid from vent

    So long story short, I have six hens which I worm by hand every month, have done since summer 2020, and before that I didn't worm them but had also never had this happen before, but I was worming one of the two youngest, they're about seven months old, and to do so I hold them firmly but...
