    What could this be?

    Thank you. I'm going to check if the local supply house has it. If not I will order it online. I zoomed in the picture and attached it so everyone can see the effected area closer. Please take another look and confirm. I only have had the chicken for 3 days and it was like this when I took it...

    I just bought 3 new chickens that are a year old. One has this big spot of missing feathers around its vent and the skin looks irritated. I sprayed the Vitrycin stuff on it just now but my main concern is that maybe its a disease that can spread to my other chickens? I isolated the 3 birds for 3...

    Are Broody Eggs Good To Eat?

    No they are not fertile as I do not have a rooster. I'm gonna seperate the Lavender today in another coop so that should break the habit for a few months at least but I hate the thought of wasted eggs. I also don't want to get my family sick

    Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

    Here is my main breeding rooster. He is a year old. I got him at 4 months and he didn't have the brown or golden feathers. Now he does. I was told they would molt off but they haven't gone anywhere. Is this typical for Lavender roosters or is this to much leakage?
