We actually don't have a rooster anymore. We used to have a rooster, but we gave him away a few months ago ( :( due to the noise) - this started well after him.

Hey everyone! So in the last few weeks my ~8 month old Easter Egger has had a small bald patch just above her tail, on her back. I disregarded it, as it was really small. Just today however, I noticed that it hade become a pretty huge spot. So I'm not sure if this is normal molting, disease...

Hi everyone! So I have a problem with our 3 month-ish old Polish. She's always been the weakest. We found her this morning in a corner, far away from the flock, covered in dust (might have been our 5-year-old who seperated her from the others :/ ). Since then, she hasn't been getting up, her...

Can we all just not be inflammatory? Who cares? If someone does bring their religion into this, does it matter? Now, if osmeone says shoot the dog, then that ins't right/good advice so that should be corrected, but without using harsh words, such as "evil".

To quote one of many sensible posts. I don't think its right to be mean to OP right now. Everyone who says you shouldn;t kill, etc. I'm on your side, but no one will ever agree with us if we aren't polite about it. There are times for harsh words - this isn't one of them. Why are you all...

Oh yes. My Buff chick (we call her Buffy :) ) is SO nice. She is COMPLETELY fine with being picked up. She stares at us all the time. If we pick her up, she will just making little chicken sounds of happiness and start roaming all over us and she will eventually jump on our shoulders (like a...

You shouldn't have to, as it isn't your fault, but have you asked your neighbor what she has against chickens? Maybe she thinks you did something to her? Maybe ask her if she is having a tough time or something?

Well, she is actually a day or two older, but she is smaller because she was shipped, and didn't eat for a few days. So for all intents, I guess we can consider them the same age.

So weird! Have you ever taken them outside before?

So I have a new batch of baby chicks. The old batch was quite vicious towarsd a Polish, so the Polish got moved with the nicer chicks. She was pecked quite badly already, and her neck is almost 100% bare. Thankfully, the new chicks don't harm her, but now I've noticed that she pecks herself on...

I'm so sorry! She sounded just like my Silkie chick - same behavior and everything. At least she is happier now. 😢😢

Thanks! Well, the shop we bought from told us she is an Ameraucana, but she was like $6, so I guess she is an EE. Oh well! Its not like I really care about breeding at this point. I suppose the baby chick we got from another store is also not an Ameracauna, it is an Easter Egger as well.

So I was under the impression that one of my now 3-4 week old chicks was an Ameracauna, but now that I have a baby EE and Ameracauna, I know she definitely isn't one. She has a tail, and no puffy cheeks - ever. Thanks!

Sadly, I think that she isn't doing very well - she sounds like our now-deceased chick. HOWEVER, I wouldn;t want to be too hasty...she still has a chance. Does she look like a skeleton? Close to the end, our Silkie's head lost its feathers, and she grew pale. Is that how she looks? Are her eyes...

So I actually kinda just went through the same thing - I ordered some chicks, they came Wednesday. Three Silkies, a Polish, and an Easter Egger. One of the Silkies from the start wasn't doing too great...huddling by herself, getting picked at by the others. She also had pasty butt. Weirdly, the...

Thanks! I think we will have to seperate her for a few days.

Thanks! Yes, I was worried, cause this new batch of chicks I put her with are very nice, but I am just worried that if i leave the blood on, and they accidently taste it, they might start pecking her and getting nasty.

And that won't hurt her? I know for humans, the best way to clean wounds is water, not paper towels, but I don;t wanna get her soggy... I did apple Neosporin though,

Good to know. Its just that she seems so fragile now, compared to when she came :(

Hi! So my second batch of chicks were naughty, and kept pecking the weak chicks, and long story short we seperated the naughty ones and the nice ones. Now, one of the nice ones, a Polish, was pecked really badly by the naughty ones, and she is bloody everywhere, poor thing. Her neck is now...
