Thank you so much, I was so worried (first time chicken owner)

My hen (red sex link/golden comet) has two bumps growing, one on this leg and one on the other, any ide what this might be? (They're difficult to see but I assure you they are there)

My pullets have continued molting on a steady basis for quite a while now, I'm just wondering when it will stop

In one of my pullets I'm seeing black dots and beige dots, I'm unsure if they are mites/lice or just dirt- advice?

I suppose it could be dirt or droppings, but should I treat them to be cautious?

I cannot tell if they are moving-and it seems as if they are indeed near the vent .

Please-anybody, I really need to know if I need to take action against any pests

We recently got some day old chicks and are noticing, on all chicks, small brown spots, specifically of the outside of the wing, thoughts? I included an image of one example- (Sorry they are so small)

I'm sorry that I'm being a bit daft, but how much can they consume? Should I replace their bedding with something other then pine shavings?

How do I stop my chicks from eating their brooder woodshaving bedding??!!

Thanks!

Welcome to Chickendom! And about your questions, depending on the breeds of pullets you have, the time they start laying will differ, but, on average, pullets lay at around 6 months. For the cockerel, he will become fertile around the same time the pullets start laying, it does also differ on...

Thanks!!

We are getting a barred rock and a California white (white leghorn and California grey)

We're getting chicks! One of them actually is a golden comet.

I think Edina allows four and under and I know Minneapolis allows quite a few.

Thank you both!
