    this is a wonderful example of how to integrate. I find some examples seem rushed. I think it’s so important to slowly introduce our girls to each other. Thanks so much

    Polish bantam chick, advice!?

    Is it foolish to cut her feathers back a bit to help her see and look more “normal” to them?

    Polish bantam chick, advice!?

    Thank you so much <3 this is great advice ! My run is 12 ft x 6 ft and the inside is 4 x6 ft. My big birds pretty much free range for the day everyday unless I leave for the day. My lil girl is gonna stay with me inside until I think she’s tough enough.

    Polish bantam chick, advice!?

    So I’ve adopted this crowned polish bantam chick, a friend found her in a parking lot abandoned. She couldn’t keep her so I offered. I have two birds already, (a red and a naked neck)and they get along great. I’m just concerned about whether or not they’ll eat along or they’ll hurt my lil girl...

    What kind of bird ?

    I got her from a neighbour who’s just been breeding them and farming for her mom for years. They didn’t know. I’m in Kelowna, BC. Not a lot of legit hatcheries over here. Just old school style of selling chicks

    This is Carmela, we’re going to get her a buddy today as her buddy died little bit ago. I always thought that maybe she was a real red hen but she’s so much more of a caramel then I had actually of observed. What breed is my girl?

    Scaly leg mites?

    She’s now had another bath and I smothered her feet in Vaseline. Looked a lot cleaner but showed me just how bad it was. Tmr I go into town and I’ll get some diotematious earth. And maybe a good spray. I’m gonna scrub my coop and pact it with DTE. Cause this is bad. Any other tips?

    Scaly leg mites?

    My hen Potato is acting off. She may be favouring the one leg just slightly. I noticed she her legs and feet looked weird, almost “crusty”. She just had a warm bath and I took a baby toothbrush and gently cleaned her feet. This is an after bath photo. Would you guys say this is scaly legs...
