My daughter just found our little BO behind the feeder with this huge wound on her head. I'm not sure how it happened. Looks a bit severe to be from my big girls pecking her, but I suppose it's possible. Anyway, my main concern now is what to do. I've brought her inside and cleaned it up a...
I already posted this question in "breeds, genetics and showing" with no response, so am trying again here. I'm still not sure if this is the right forum, but I'd so love some feedback!
So, I'm wanting to add one more girl to my flock, and I keep going back and forth between getting either a...

So, I'm wanting to add one more girl to my flock, and I keep going back and forth between getting either a Buff Orpington or a standard Buff Cochin. I'd love to have both, but my flock is nearly filled up. AND...
I have a 5 week old crested polish. She's Merrick's vaccinated and seems healthy as can be. Today I noticed this weird spot on the back of her neck. At first I thought it was some sort of growth or start of an abscess, but it doesn't appear to be either. The skin seems thick and/or swollen...
I have 4 bantam cochins, all 5 1/2 weeks old. I have my guesses as to which are boys and girls, but would love some fresh opinions. I had one that was an obvious roo at 3 weeks. Very large and red comb and wattles. These 4 are all so much more subtle than he was. I'd really like to know...

Hope I'm right, but I'm new to this breed....
Ok, I have one more here. I'm pretty sure this little 5 week old barred rock is a girl, but she's smaller and has a shorter tail than my two previous BR hens had at this age. She also has a bit of spunk in her. She was supposedly sexed, but...
Thoughts?? Many thanks!
Hi,
This is my Frizzled bantam cochin, Flower, whom I absolutely adore. She's a real lapcat, just the sweetest thing. She's now about 17 weeks old, and I'm sooo hoping she's not a he, but I have my doubts. This is my first Cochin, so I have no experience with this breed. I've looked at a...
Hi. I visit BYC all the time, but just joined. We have four chickens that we free range in our yard all about 9 months old now; a tenacious and comical barred rock, an Easter egger, a brahma bantam and a sweet little silkie. We love our girls!!! I look forward to participating in this forum!
