    feather loss on lower back?

    The aggressive hen idea came from "CuteChick369" who posted before you, so I was responding to that suggestion. I will keep a watchful eye on them to see if there's any bullying or random picking and hope to catch the culprit.

    feather loss on lower back?

    I can't imagine it's an aggressive hen, the silver laced wyandotte is on the top of the pecking order. I got half my hens in april 2013 and the other half in May 2014. The two groups basically stay with their own. The wyandotte is from the 2013 group and the buff orpington is from the 2014...

    Help...please let me know what's wrong with my roo

    He has no lumps or bumps on his chest. Skin and bones. His head's looking a bit funky though. Is there a chicken disease that includes head fungus? He has a foul odor, almost like rot, and he's losing feathers there as well.

    When they stop laying eggs....

    I bought a bantam silkie last summer. I was told that she would start laying in the spring. She's never layed an egg. She goes into the nesting box every day for quite a while, but doesn't lay an egg. Then she squawks when she comes out like my other layers do as if she's announcing she's...

    swapping unfertilized eggs with baby chicks under broody hen

    My 6 month old hen went broody and has started laying on a bunch of eggs that have no chance of hatching. I have 25 baby chicks coming from TSC later this week...can I switch the eggs with the babies? Has anyone successfully done that? Is 25 too much to ask of her to take care of?
