Well, you get what you pay for, and most brands not found at your Veterinarian are knockoffs that are very artfully designed to look like the real deal. And they typically don't work.
I have found Seresto collars to work very well for me. I like the fact that they have a repellent aspect, as...
I would schedule a Vet visit.
This dog could be suffering from a host of things. Getting it checked out by a Vet now will in the long run, save you money.
Oatmeal shampoo is great, but what if is just provides temporary relief? Over bathing can be harmful to the skin too.
Grain free dog...
What is an OE? To me, that's Old English (game bantam) or do you mean Olive Egger?
The Cochin, she's large fowl?
You're probably right, a baby egg from the Polish mix.
Ahh, the mystery! You'll just have to spy on them!
Oh no, I'm so sorry! Peck order should work itself out, it may be a bit rough at the start, but just make sure there's plenty of room for the pullet to get away, plenty of food and water spots and they should all eventually get along!
Good luck!
She's cute! Why do you think she is a Prairie Blue Belle?
I think if you got some photos of her standing so we can see her body and a little better shot of her comb, that would be perfect!
I agree with @Red Mangrove. It sounds like to me something got in the coop and tried to take a chicken and was interrupted.
I have taken to shutting up my coop before evening as I've had a raccoon waltz on in and try to steal eggs after sundown. Now I take no chances!
So sorry about your...
I would not let the other chickens in the broody hen house. Partition it off, block the door or whatever to keep them out.
Should be an easy solution since you say they don't use it much anyway.
Keep them out, let her continue to set and hatch, all should be good.
She looks like a naked bird to me. As in, from what I can see in the pictures, she's not going to have feathers in certain spots. Like the side of her neck--I don't see any beginnings of feathers.
Do they all look like this?
What breed is she?
I don't think it's molt.
Molting typically...
Massaging their crop and I use olive oil-soaked tiny bread pieces. Worked for my one Silkie, I think she had grass stuck or something. Made her crop huge. Afterward she had a bit of pendulous crop but she lived to 11.
I bought both of my horses. "Bug" (black) came from New Hampshire and was 4 months old, and "Joey" (bay roan) came from a friend that lives a few towns over from me.
