About two and a half weeks ago, I brought home two, ~4 month old Salmon Faverolle pullets (Frances and Harriet the 2nds).
I had previously posted about a different Fav pullet of the same age (Frances #1), which I got from the same local breeder but who started displaying sneezing, runny nose...
Hi there, I brought home two ~4 month old pullets about 5 days ago. One is a Salmon Faverolle and the other is an Easter Egger. We have three older hens, and I've had them separated in the run by a fence (so they can still see each other and be somewhat close) and they have been sleeping in...
Does Gertrude (3 y/o RIR) have an eye infection? She is currently on day 11 of a 14 day course of Clavamox prescribed by vet due to coming down with potential EYP about a week and a half ago. She has overall been recovering well over the past week, back to her normal self, but this morning when...

Hi all, I noticed that the feathers around the face and head of my black australorp (Dora) have white specks on the tip. It has been like this for several months - honestly has progressed so slowly that I have not really been concerned. She behaves normally, lays eggs, has never shown any signs...
Really concerned about our nearly 2 yr old Rhode Island Red hen, Gertrude - today I brought her into the shower for a butt bath as I noticed a slight poop buildup (hence why her feathers are wet in photos). When I was rinsing off the poop I then saw what appears to be a pale white fleshy growth...
This morning when cleaning my hens' dropboard I noticed this dark red globby poo mixed with their normal poop. I did see this yesterday as well - it had hardened though and was very dark so I thought I would wait until today to determine if it was a problem. My 4 hens are 1yo, and have been...
