    Bloody feathers and poo, but just one.

    I should also mention that she came from a hatchery that said they were immunized for coccidiosis. Should I pick up some corrid? I’ll work on giving her a wash. Should be an adventure.

    Bloody feathers and poo, but just one.

    My BO has bloody feathers around her vent this morning and I found a single bloody poo in the coop. She’s behaving fine and her poos now look completely normal. She’s not laying yet, but should be getting close. I’m not sure what to do. Could it be coccidiosis with just one bloody poo or is it...

    Chick with strange nose mass

    Looks like I have some flock logistics to figure out. Time to juggle some things. Thank you all for your wisdom and know-how. I’ll keep you updated. :fl

    Chick with strange nose mass

    Here are the two in question (and the rear end of my frizzle? Cochin? Not sure.).

    Chick with strange nose mass

    She’s on her own, but she’s only (I believe) two weeks younger than my other three. I’m pretty sure my barred rock is a cockerel, and really bullies her. Am I just being an overly defensive scaredy-cat and need to let them sort it out?

    Chick with strange nose mass

    I will definitely try that. Thank you! As far as putting her with the others, how much bullying is too much bullying? My barred rock and RIR are particularly aggressive toward her.

    Chick with strange nose mass

    Thanks, you two! As long as it isn’t bothering her I’ll just keep watching it and hope it starts to shrink soon. I worry over her a lot. Integration isn’t going so well.... Here’s what her beak looked like the day she arrived:

    Chick with strange nose mass

    Two weeks ago I received this little buff Orpington from Mcmurray. She’s currently divided from the other chicks by hardwire cloth and allowed to mingle with them when I’m out to supervise. I noticed last week her nose seemed to be bleeding slightly and assumed it was from her sticking her beak...

    Integrating chick with other chicks

    I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to quarantine for that exact reason. I don’t want her to be alone! Thank you for all your help!

    Integrating chick with other chicks

    Thank you! I’m glad I have two sets of feeders/waterers. Will she need to be quarantined if she’s coming from Mcmurray hatchery? They’re immunized right?

    Integrating chick with other chicks

    Hey y’all. I have three 5 or 6 week old chicks. It’s very possible that two might be roos. I honestly hope not. If that is the case, I don’t want my flock to be down to one, so I ordered a buff Orpington started chick from Mcmurray that will arrive later this week. How do I handle adding her to...

    Supposed to be a buff, but...

    I love when they are super friendly! Makes it extra fun interacting. My silkie is that way now. I’m pretty darn sure she’s a RIR. And it’s quite possible that she’s not a she after all. Time will tell. That’d be a possible two out of three in the rooster department. *sigh*

    They’re so pretty! Yeah, she’s definitely not a buff. She’s a mystery chicken.

    The patterns on the feathers are definitely very similar! I wouldn’t mind an Easter Egger! How are they personality-wise?

    Hello from our tiny flock!

    I don’t know if I can, but I’m already attached :hit

    Hello from our tiny flock!

    That’s what I was worried about! We’ll be keeping an eye on that one. Thanks for the welcome!

    Hello from our tiny flock!

    Hello all! Brand new chicken keeper here! Three years ago we bought a 1/2 acre fixer upper and I knew I wanted to raise chickens here. I finally made that happen recently! Bless my husbands heart, he loves me more than he hates chickens. We have three (hopefully...that barred rock though...)...

    Supposed to be a buff, but...

    Hello BYCers. Very new here! And new to keeping chickens, so you might be seeing lots of me. Two and a half weeks ago we picked up three chicks from our local IFA. One was supposed to be a buff Orpington, but as she’s growing feathers she’s very mottled and I’m wondering if she might be a...
