We have a 1 1/2 yo White Crested Black Polish rooster who we think is being hen pecked. He has never been able to grow his whole hat, we think the hens peck it out first. Obviously it bleeds, so then they really get after it, but we have tried to stop the bleeding and treat it but nothing...
I have a one week old chick who had a bad case of pasting up - husband didn't catch it while I was out of town for work. Once discovered, we cleaned her off really well and her vent was very red and very swollen. Quite frankly, I am surprised she made it. Now she has crusty stuff all over her...
