    Molting or something else?

    Interesting! I’ve never heard of that name for them. Hope it’s just brittle then. I keep thinking they are starting to grow back, but then I question it

    Molting or something else?

    No mites. Checked her vent. The weather here has been odd. Super hot or super unseasonal. We have a great coop - 8x8 with tons of ventilation and an 8x12 run. She’s eating normally and is one of my consistent egg layers.

    Molting or something else?

    What’s a frazzle? She’s had normal feathers and body up until about a month and a half ago…

    Mine looks just like yours! Feeling better seeing that someone has the same issues

    Molting or something else?

    No rooster. Not allowed in our area. I feel like when we got her around this time last year she had just finished molting, but she had all her feathers by that point so I can’t say what she looked like before. I’m gone during the day, but when I check on her in the morning, afternoons, and...

    Molting or something else?

    I haven’t checked her for mites, but as I’ve gotten close to her I haven’t seen any.

    Molting or something else?

    My frizzle starting molting about a month or two ago, and she just doesn’t seem to be getting her feathers back. She is still laying eggs and eating normally, but want to get opinions about whether or not it’s normal. It’s my first molting season with her, so I want to make sure. Thoughts?

    Recommendations for run flooring

    This is helpful! All good information to consider. We live in the suburbs near San Francisco/Oakland. Cold here is low 40s at night a few weeks in the year, but usually 50s-80s most of the year. Not too much rain.

    Recommendations for run flooring

    We live in the suburbs, and our backyard is half concrete, half grass. Updating our coop and run to a larger one means we needed to move it to the concrete portion of the yard. We do have some predators, so this is how we can still manage to give our girls more run space and still keep them safe.

    Recommendations for run flooring

    Hey all! The hubs and I are building a new coop and run for our little cluckers. We are putting it on the concrete portion of our backyard. Looking for recommendations on how to take care of the run portion - do we put some sort of tarp or hardware cloth down before putting the covering on it...

    Thank you. She doesn’t seem to be suffering. She is very alert and moving the best she can, and enjoying the pasta I made her for dinner. I really hope the meds work. We’ve become quite bonded through this whole ordeal.

    Took my sweet Henri in to the avian vet today. He immediately said she didn’t look good, which was a downer since I thought she had been doing better over the last couple days. Thursday night, she tried to stand up and was flapping her wings to move. She did something similar Friday morning and...

    Replying to the last 2 messages. I have been giving her the beef liver and vitamins that you recommended. She isn’t walking, but is able to move her legs around. We are doing “exercises” and I am holding up to have her stand (supported) and massaging her and letting her pretend like she is...

    She’s been on the vitamins for just about 2 weeks. And yes - vaccinated for Mareks. All birds are the same age and from the same breeder. I’m actually pretty excited myself about the vaccination. I wasn’t sure at first, but my husband checked back at the purchase, and saw that they were. Still...

    Thanks for the message. Mites are under control. When I took her to the vet a month ago, she gave her (and her feathery sisters) a de-wormer and mite treatment. I have also dusted her a few times. Haven’t seen anything since the original outbreak. She is doing well today. Eating, very...

    I have her sitting inside with me right now, watching the World Series. She was just trying to stand and look around. She does that fairly often - attempting to stand. She is able to move her legs independently. I just am so confused with what could be going on. No other signs of Mareks.

    I posted A few weeks ago about my Buff Orpington who had mites and then started having difficulty with balance and walking. She is now no longer walking at all, but is still eating well, drinking some water and electrolytes, moves her legs and flaps her wings, and has clear eyes. She is able to...
