One of or hens just started losing a lot of feathers and she seems to have these little orange bugs on her back. Is this something serious??? And what can we do for a cure?
So we have this 1 year old splash Orpington hen and she seems like she may be egg bound... She has been in the nesting box A LOT recently and hasn't laid in a couple days... She hasn't had a problem with laying before, but I thought this might be from stress? Recently our black orp rooster has...
we bought our BBS from ReniesPeeps... also known as Irene. She is super nice and has some beautiful Orpingtons! Our girls are super sweet and great layers, I would recommend her highly!
I think she's too small to be any of those breeds. Bantam size. I was thinking maybe Japanese bantam??? But here are some more pics, will take more later...
Ok we will be sure to quarantine them! Also, we have called the breeder but no answer. And their is no sign of illness besides the coughing and sneezing, she looks very healthy!
