I have a chick hatched approx April 12th, she is a black Sex link. I don't believe she is being plucked or picked on, she's with a few other chicks in a heated 10x10 shed with 24/7 food and water.
One side is maturing fine and her other side isn't feathering in right.
This is Mo my Polish x. She(i think) hatched out May 18th. We got a couple new chickens and while establishing a pecking order Mo got injured. Someone ripped all her neck feathers off, they came off in one ball. I caught a chicken running around with it. It bled lightly and has stopped but I am...
Hey Guys!

Hello everyone.
I am frustrated, I went from nearly 9 eggs a day to ZERO for about the past month. I have 1 year and a half old Rhode Island Red hen who is molting so I don't expect eggs from her and I have about 9 Golden Comets who are roughly 22months (i was told when i bought them they were...

Hello! This is my first time raising chicks, we picked up 11 1-2week old buff Orpington chicks, 8 1-2day old coturnix quail chicks and 1 day old runner duckling. Everyone is doing well so far, the runner duckling has a curled under foot though, I read a thread about a little foot splint we will...
Hello, I have never raised ducks before but had a free runner thrown in with some quail chicks we picked up tonight. It appears to have a deformed leg. Could this fix itself? Anything I can do to help? Does this lessen his survival chance?
Thank you in advance !
