Hello everyone, it's just wave after wave of issues here. I'm not sure if these chicks have fowl pox, swelling from being pecked or mycoplasma. Mosquitoes have been awful this year so I'm going to vaccinate my birds whether they have pox or not. But I'm just curious, there's one chick in...
Hello everyone, this morning I noticed this chick's odd behavior and I'm not really sure what it is.
They don't seem off balance and they're eating and drinking. I added some vitamins to their water but I'm just a little worried about what it could be.
The video can't be posted here for some...
This chick of mine got pecked really badly by its mother on the scalp when it was younger. I'm talking about nearly losing its scalp. I managed to save it, and it's been doing really well. Eating, drinking, and overall just behaving like a chick. I've noticed that its eye became foggy. I assumed...
Meet Romeo, my very loving Belgium D'uccle. As you can see, Romeo's once beautiful white spots that were present in his neck and chest, have been broken off by one of his hens — she's since been rehomed. The areas around his chest and neck now feel like a prickly beard and my poor boy looks a...
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding my Pekin hen. She's been broody and sitting on her eggs for about 3 to 5 days now. However, tonight when I checked on her, I noticed she was in the wrong nest, and her eggs had gone cold. I candled the eggs and saw veins along with the little...
Hello everyone!
I have a bit of a predicament — one of my Barbu D'uccle hens has been picking at my rooster's feathers, plucking out the majority of his beard and damaging his saddle feathers. I have no idea what's the cause behind this behavior is?
They have adequate space, they have a...
I recently got a new rooster with scaly legmites, I've treated it, I'm still trying to help his feet recover but — I've never experienced this kind of thing. His feet were in bad shape when I got him. So I gave them a soak for 10 minutes a day and peeled away at the dead skin (I followed...
Just a quick note, the black spots on his face and comb were caused by my other rooster they have since been separated!
I've been between selling all my pekins because I'm actually so overwhelmed, and this rooster might just be the cherry on the cake for me. I've been regularly soaking his feet...
I recently got a lovely Lavender Pekin Rooster, who I've named Elvis. Today, Elvis has truly become part of the flock. One of the hens has already accepted him and is doting over him like a high-school crush.
The other two, slightly older hens are still cautious and skittish, which I've heard...
Hello everyone,
I'm brand new here, but this website has already been a huge help with many things.
I recently got a beautiful rooster and have been quarantining him for about a week. Whenever I get new chickens, I always give them probiotics and medicine before introducing them to my flock...
