I don't but I can try to get some

I have a barred rock hen almost a year old. I was noticing that she was starting to look a little raggedy in the feather department. We until recently had 9 hens and 2 roosters until culling one of the roosters after finding that a couple of our hens were suffering from too much attention and...

She just passed

Have a sick 6mth old Polish, been about a week. She has not had an easy go of things, being the only Polish in a flock of big bossy girls. She has suffered bullying and had a bald spot picked on her head. We tried to resolve that situation with no success and decided to rehome her. Before we...

Update on my little Polish girl: Although no longer treating for egg binding, still getting nightly warm baths due to diarrhea on her feathers and cleaning her feather picked head. Blow drying and applying Neosporin. Still syringe feeding water with electrolytes, probiotics, and vitamins. TSC...

That is her plan. Thanks so much for the info. It's a big help.

We have been extremely diligent about keeping her coated with the BluKote and unfortunately it hasn't helped. We have plenty if space in both coop and run, two waterers and 3 feeders. I think if we had a few Polish it may be better but she is the only one my friend doesn't have other Polish but...

I have a 6 month old Polish hen. Only in a flock of 13. All hatched same day and raised together. She has suffered from feather picking that has created a bald spot on her head. We have tried BluKote with off/on success but bullying continues. We don't know who the aggressor is so we decided to...

I have a flock of 13, and one of them is a Polish. They are all just over 6 months old and were hatched on the same day and raised together. A while back I noticed her head feathers were being pecked and got some BluKote spray. It improved but seems like it gets better for a while then gets...

Was cleaning the coop and run today and wanted to share some pics of my bird. They are a little over 4 months old now and our first flock. Hopefully we will have eggs soon![/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

Well I am feeling the same way about this rooster. This is our first flock. We ordered 15 pullets and got 4 roosters. One we euthanized for a leg issue we couldn't fix, the RIR roo is going to another home, so that leaves our SL Wyandotte and BO roos. They are only 4 months old and we were...

This morning when I went to lety chickens out, I noticed blood on the roost branch above the pop door. This branch is used almost exclusively by my one Polish girl. I looked at her pretty good and saw a bit of blood on her foot, but before I could look closer one of my Roos decided to fly at my...

We ordered from My Pet Chicken, 15 girls. So far including this BO we have 4 roosters!

Yes, unfortunately due to a high population of predators in our area we have our girls (and boys) in a coop and run. They have a ton of space though! We ordered 15 girls and so far 3 of them have turned out to be roosters. Due to some observed behavior, something is telling me the picker may be...

That's what it looked like to me, but I am very new to chickens. A lot of people have said Blue Kote. If I am able to get some in the morning should I still separate her for a while, or can I apply it and let her stay with the flock? She is the only Polish out of 15. We ordered 3 assorted breed...

Is the first picture a rooster? We have 3 Buff Orpingtons. We ordered all girls but so far 3 of our 15 have turned out to be roosters. 2 of the 3 Buffs look like the second picture. And then there is the other. I am hoping she is just bigger, and developing faster. But after 3 roosters so far, I...

I have a 3 month old white crested black polish. She has a bald spot about the size of a nickel on the back of her head. I was not able to spot any kind of bugs, nor is there any open skin or bleeding. It is bare skin and what looks like some little broken of spines of where the feathers were...

So glad to hear that Pecker is improving! I know how hard it is to be doing everything you can and not see any change. My red is doing well all things considered. She is growing, eating and drinking well, very alert and social. But she is still having leg issues. We have a separate area...

The latest on my little RIR: Well, she isn't worse so I will take that as a good sign. I bought her a pet carrier so she could go out and live in the coop with her sisters, and she seemed to really get excited about being out there. I take her out twice a day, clean any poop out of her...
