My hen was, I believe, scratched by a possum the other night (Friday). She had a small amount of blood under her eye, so I cleaned her up and watched it.

I have a 17 week old blue birchen marans cockerel that has recently started limping. His right (knee?) joint is swollen and red. This has gotten worse over the past two weeks. At first I noticed a slight limp once in a while with no swelling. Now it is much larger than his left side. He still...

I have a chick that hatched from an egg marked silkie but I think it has to be a cross. She has five toes, feathered feet, beard and tuft. What’s different is her yellow beak and legs. I have no idea what that’s about. Does anyone have any ideas?

any idea what these two are? I was thinking pullet and roo, but I just don’t know. They are six weeks old

I hatched this chick from an egg labeled “silkie”. It has five toes, feathered legs etc, but it has a crown that is markedly “poofier” than the rest of the silkies. It also has a yellow beak and feet. The breeder doesn’t have any other five toed breeds. What do I have?
