OK so one of my buffs is missing feathers on her chest (see picture) she is about 18 months old and they have never been through a molt. She also will puff up like a turkey all over, even the tail spread wide often. She doesnt stay puffed up but will do this frequently through the day. I've...
I have 5 chickens, 2 buff orpingtons, 1 production red (these 3 are about a yr old), 1 white leghorn and 1 EE or Americauna (were unsure about her, we got her and the leghorn from someone moving and were told she was a white leghorn but she has puffy cheeks and a small comb). The EE we dont...
So today I got a nice big white egg (assuming its from the leghorn) among my brown eggs from my buffs and production red girl. Now just waiting on my easter egger/americauna (not sure what she is lol) to start laying. So mystery SOLVED. Phew, roo's are illegal in my county unless you have over...
I got this white chicken and another one a couple months ago. As they are growing I've noticed this chicken is looking....different, bigger comb etc. I haven't heard a crow and wasn't sure when rooster start to crow. [/IMG]

So upon observing them just now, the red is chasing them into the coop but not actively pecking them although I think if she could catch them she would, one buff has been staying on the perch in the coop and will allow the 2 pullets up and if they just sit there the one buff will....clean them...
OK so I have three 7 month old chickens, 2 buff Orps and 1 Production red....we got (we think age wise) 4-5 month old white leghorns to add to our flock but they are considerably smaller then my older girls. Well my red girl is the boss, my buffs are like meh about it, but Red will chase the 2...
This will be my first winter with my chickens. 3 are 7 months old and the other 2 are closer to 4 months old. Maryland winters are....weird. one day it'll be 70 and the next 30, sometimes we get BAD snow and other winters little to none.
Is there anything I should feed my girls to help them...
