She is awake alert and a normal angry broody you can see she is sick in her eyes though she has also lost alot of weight when I felt her but she...
Hi I have a broody farvolle who is currently sitting in hatch day today
I noticed a awful smell coming from her and she just looks really sick in the face.. I decided to just lift her tail feathers up to make sure her bottom looked good well to my horror it is leaking and looking so bad down...
Feeling her crop thismorning it's only about the size of a golf ball
Also I love near a mountain so the weather never really gets above 15 degrees we just came out of winter and are in the middle of spring
She is 3 years old
She doesn't leek in a coop she sleeps inside my house
I did tell the vet that her crop is never empty in the morning it still has a apple size amount left in it

I wish I had a better video but she got annoyed and moved away from me I hear like a crunching sound when she's breathing and like a panting noise coming from her

They can see but almost barely i can see maybe half of the eyes when im lookong at them.
Do i need to be careful clipping feathers on the head i have never done that before i have only done wings and i know you cant cut to far on wings
That is not blood on her beak im unsure as to what that is but i know its from the other pecking at her you can see some of her top head feathers have been bitten off
Now shes plucking at her in other places
Nope no lice at all
When i picked them both up i noticed the one thats getting her feathers plucked and poked at is alot skinnier than the other..
My partner said when he went to pick them out they were in 2 different areas of the ladys coop now im thinking he picked a higher up in the pecking...
Yes checked for lice/mites we even treated them with pestine before introducing them to our girls
When they get up today i will have a look again just to make double sure because we have had them for 1 month now.
Sorry this is the only photo i have at the moment
They are 7 months old
Free range in a massive backyard
I slowly introduced them to the flock over a period of 3 weeks
They fit in straight away with everyone.
And they are spoilt and sleep in my laundry because they did not want to sleep in...
I got 2 polish chickens for my birthday they came together from a breeder.. lately one of them has been pulling and poking the other ones head feathers?
Is this common with polish chickens and should i worry?
My nan got me a plant a while ago and we planted it next to my doorstep not knowing it was going to grow so big!
I now want to move it into my backyard but is earleaf acacia safe for my chickens?
