    4 of 7 chickens losing feathers below vent

    So about a week ago I noticed two of my chickens were completely bare below the vent. I got concerned when it looked a little red and swollen, but I thought maybe that's just how it is below the feathers. Then a couple more birds started losing their feathers back there too. One of the...

    Can chickens choke on carrots

    Thank you. So sad finding a girl like that. She didn't even make it to one year. You put so much effort into them and then that happens. It could have been worse though. At least we still have 7 ladies left.

    Can chickens choke on carrots

    I ask because when a ball has accidentally rolled into there mobile coop they all fly up in the air. I'm just going to assume that she choked for now, since it happened some time after I gave them the carrots. I knew I should have shredded them or just gave them the whole carrot to peck at.

    Can chickens choke on carrots

    I looked down her mouth but couldn't see anything. Is it common for chickens to have heart attacks from being scared? I'm sure I'll never find out what happened to her, but I'll keep a close eye on the other. I check for mold in their feed, but it looked clean.

    Can chickens choke on carrots

    They all appear to be very healthy. I haven't checked yet for mites or anything, but I didn't see any signs of bad health. I'm hoping it was just a freak accident.

    Cockerel or pullet?

    Cockerel or pullet?

    Was suppose be 10 hens I got from our local Wilco store, but im questioning this one. He or whe is the largest of them all and grew faster. It sucks, because I cant keep a rooster here, unless I keep him seperate, which I dont want to do. Thet are roughly all around 3 months old. Give or take lol

I put her back with her girls for the night, but at sunrise i wanted to separate her to clean out her cut. Is that the best thing i should do...
