No they have never had vaccinations. besides medicated starter feed when they were chicks, they have just had layer feed and they free range during the day. Are there vaccinations I should be giving? Thank you so much!

Hmm Im not positive its the same thing...maybe mine is just beginning, but I dont see any pus or yellow gunk and she seems to be breathing regular. maybe I should just treat her anyways? Im fairly new to this so not sure what to do.

OK So I looked in her mouth, everything looks fine, no yellow or grayish patches (that I can see wrestling a chicken lol) I would say the growth is solid and firm, its more gray than the pics show I think. I haven't noticed any of my other chickens pecking at it and it doesn't look any more...

Thank you. I will examine her a little better in a bit:-)

Here is a close up.

Darn. I'll try again on the actual computer in a few. Thanks

One of my hens has a weird moldy looking thing on her face. She seems fine. She eats, drinks, lays, and acts normal. Here is a picture. Anyone know what it is?

My chickens don't like too many table scraps they seem to just let it lay out in the yard...I do give them black oil sunflower seeds...they LOVE those :) of course I only give a little as a treat. I feed them the layer pellets which they also LOVE.

I got the younger chickens in July. SO they are over 18 weeks :) in size they are about the same as the older girls...but the older ones definitely pick on the younger ones! For a while they wouldn't even let them roost with them in the evening, but they do now. I think they were about to start...

THANKS :)

This is my first cold season with my chickens :) I was wondering...Do I still feed them the layer feed even though they have all stopped laying? I want to make sure they are healthy and ready to lay come spring! Thanks!!

Yeah I dont really interfere much :) I know they eat enough, they are healthy. They still return to the coop every night so they must not be too scared LOL I just started getting worried they would never be friends LOL Thanks!

Im very new to raising chickens. I have 4 hens I got in March and 5 I got in July. The 4 older ones stick together and the 5 younger ones are always together. 3 of the older ones are pretty mean to the younger ones. They wont let them eat near them or drink. If I bring out treats I have to...

Ok so this is my first cold season with chickens. We have a little coop with 6 nesting boxes. We got our first 4 chickens in March and they were laying an egg a day for the most part, we added 5 more chickens a few months ago (they are not laying yet) My older hens are barely laying now...I'm...

Thanks everybody! I feel so welcomed :)
