    Hen in nest box listless, panting, almost non-responsive

    I just went to check for eggs and one of my Salmon Faverolle hens was sitting in the nest box closest to the fan I have hanging for ventilation; she didn't peck at me or even move when I went to check under her for an egg. I picked her up - no fight, no noise, nothing. She didn't feel any...

    Any guesses on this roo or these pullets?

    We ordered Salmon Faverolles from Cackle this spring. We got 15 of them and two (they were supposed to be cockerels) who have the same coloring but lack the facial fluffiness and have larger combs as well as wattles. Here is a photo of one of the girls next to a Salmon Faverolle. Like I said...

    Hen pulling feathers

    Hi all: I have a Black Star hen who seems to be pulling her feathers out...I don't see any of my other birds being mean to her, but she is half bald now and I don't know why. I went in the coop this morning and there were probably 20 feathers from this hen on the floor. Some are pulled out...
