Hello!
My mother-in-law just gave me her two salmon favorelles; her rooster clearly had favorites, and their saddles are so worn off 😞 One has a wound under her wing - it looks ok for now, I just put some blu kote on it.
For both their saddles - is there anything I can do to promote feather...
Hello everyone!
Saturday night my husband and I were enjoying the last light with the girls out and saw a skunk skulk behind one of our sheds. We quickly put the girls away and shut the coop. The next night (Sunday) we went out a little late to shut their door and the skunk had obviously gotten...
Hello! This morning I was holding my 6 week Olive Egger and noticed something between his/her (I’m leaning his) legs. It looks like some kind of cyst, and it’s scabbed over. When I was touching it to take pictures, Olive didn’t really seem bothered by it, and his behavior is completely normal...

Hello everyone!
I'm very excited to be here! I previously owned chickens about 10 years ago and have recently gotten back into owning them again! Right now I have 4 chickens, but will have 6 after this evening! I recently lost two of my pullets that were only 5 weeks old over the weekend (it was...
