Hello everyone, I have some black sex link hens that keep having problems with their feathers growing back. Some of the skin on them appears to be red and irritated, could it be more causing this problem? I’ve attached a photo here of the breast of one of the girls, any help is appreciated greatly.
Okay thank you! The birds are about 10-12 weeks old and I plan to place them alongside the current girls for a bit for them to get used to each other. This really helps a lot!
Hello all I got 6 new chicks on February 10th and they’re getting big, as the photo shows! I was wondering when they should be put out with the other chickens? The other ones are full grown and are laying plenty, just let me know what you guys think!
I believe she just pecked it, I saw the mouse in her mouth and took it from her. I think she may have just pecked it, but the intestinal wall wasn’t punctured at all that I could see.
Hello all, I found my hen this evening eating a mouse. She was in front of the garage that we have some mouse poison in (it was 0.01% bromethalin). However, she had not punctured the mouses stomach, only some fur was missing and a little of her head was pecked. I do not know if the mouse died...
Hello everyone I recently purchased 3 amberlink hens and have been raising them. As they’ve began to get bigger I’ve noticed one of them appears to have a large comb and is bigger than the others. I’ve attached a photo of her here, does anyone think it’s actually a rooster?
Thank you very much for your help! Is there any specific foods or snacks that you give your birds to give them some increased protein? I've read online that oats are a fan favorite but I wasn't sure if there was any others that were superior?
