    Flocks feathers are gone around the vent and belly

    Thank you for the thorough response! I had been putting extra DE in the run so maybe that’s drying their skin out. I’ll stop that for now. The only treats I give are the black soldier fly grubs. I give a handful every other day. I’ll have to do some research on the parasites. I’m...

    Flocks feathers are gone around the vent and belly

    Hi All, I first noticed signs of feather loss from one of my chickens a few months back, but thought it was some feather picking. I know my coop was small, it was one of the omlet Eglu cubes (made out of plastic) for 5 birds. I’ve recently upgraded to a much larger coop 5x8 and only have...

    Wyandotte naked vent

    I haven’t done a close inspection yet for mites. Coop is large enough for 10 birds and we have 5. They eat kalmbach 17% layer crumble and I supplement that with grubs. What can be done for feather picking?

    Wyandotte naked vent

    Hi all, Noticed today that my Wyandotte around 7-8 months old has lossed the feathers around her vent. We have a plastic coop, and it gets cleaned very frequently—not sure it could be mites or lice. She laid an egg this morning. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do? New chicken...

    Hi All, Hoping for some opinions on this little one. This is an 11 week old partridge silky bantam. Do you think I have a pullet or cockerel?

    Lavender Cochin Bantam Gender?

    Hi All, I have a lavender Cochin Bantam that turns 3 weeks old on Monday. Based off the fairly prominent comb, little tail feathering, and already forming pink wattles, I’m going to say this is a little Roo. Hoping others can weigh in here since this is my first Cochin bantam.

    Showgirl or Showboy?

    Here’s my 6 week old showgirl “Dua Lipa”. Any guesses on whether this is a boy or girl? I know the crest looks like there are some streamers starting to pop out, however, dua has been shedding some of the baby down so I’m hoping the head will even out in the coming weeks.

    BCM Hen?

    Actually I do see a little white around her face/ear area. Nothing on her body though. These are bad pictures, but all I have.

    BCM Hen?

    Oh interesting. I wonder how she got mixed up in the BCM bin. The strange thing is, she looked just like a BCM chick when I got her. No white at all.

    Marans or Not?

    Looks like a BCM to me too.

    BCM Hen?

    Hi All! A couple weeks back I purchased what was sold to me as a female black copper marans. Fast forward 7 weeks to now, she is somewhere around 7-8 weeks old. Her coloring does not look like a BCM to me and she has yellow legs. Could she be cuckoo? Also there seems to be a little reddening...

    Polish frizzle Bantam gender

    Thanks. I was leaning toward that too. I was hoping maybe others have had polish hens develop wattles earlier since I've heard they can be difficult to sex.

    Polish frizzle Bantam gender

    Hello! I’ve done a lot of researching on gendering polish, but I haven’t found much on frizzle polish. Hoping to hear what folks think this little 6 week old chick is. I’m leaning toward cockerel, but hoping maybe I’m wrong. I see some wattle development, has anyone had a polish hen develop...
