Thank you so much! When I got her as a chick at Rural king she was supposed to be Barred Rock on sale because they were about a week old. I didn’t pay attention when the worker was boxing them up or I would’ve noticed she definitely was not a BR. Haha
It does make sense, if this is the case though how would I narrow down which hen it is? What do I do with her when I find out? My 5 girls started a few months back laying and they are doing great. I hate to get rid of one.
I got all of them on 5/21/2020 as 3 day old chicks. Supposed to be all pullets. 3 amerucana and 3 cinnamon queens. Clearly they were not all pullets. Yes he is the only rooster we have now. For about 2-3 months I had another rooster in the pen with them but we re-homed him to a friend who was...
I’m not sure, they have been together since they were chicks. Would they start feather eating all of a sudden? Also I know they are toe eaters! I went into their pen today with sandals on and my toes were painted and they kept pecking my toes!! LOL
Yes I agree! Although their isn’t any piles of feathers or anything that would make me think something tried to get to them. Also they are in 20ft by 15ft enclosure that is 6ft tall. There is the fencing all the way around it you can see in the background of his photos.
No blood, no scabs, nothing. But I agree he looks beat up! Also there aren’t piles of feathers in the pen that would make you think something grabbed him.
I will get photos tomorrow. I don’t believe they are plucking him. I’m out there quite a bit and I haven’t noticed it. He is very dominate over them if that makes sense.
A few days ago I noticed my amerucana rooster has no feathers on one leg and has lost quite a few tail feathers. Also his skin is very red in those places without feathers. His leg appears to possible be trying to grow feathers back. He is in a pen/coop with 5 hens and they are all perfectly...
My rooster had gotten attacked by something and had no feathers on his back and I had been putting betadine and stuff on him. But now I went to check and he has maggots all over him and in his skin. What can I do to help him? I really don’t want to lose him. I feel like an extremely terrible mom/:
