Does anyone know why my chickens feathers look like this? I’m not sure if it’s a problem with another chicken causing it or if it’s just normal. It’s a Lavender Orpington
I have one last lavender Orpington that I am hoping is a hen. One picture is it at 4 weeks old and the rest are what it currently looks like at 11 weeks 🤞
These Lavender Orpingtons were hatched 1/9. So they are still pretty young. I bought them SR, but if I have three Roos I will be devastated 😅
1- pretty sure it’s a roo with that comb and wattles
2 & 3- they have paler smaller combs. And their wattles are hardly noticeable. But I don’t know if...
Okay! Her poop is a thick white paste. I went ahead and isolated her to try and keep an eye on her. Im not sure if that was the right call. In the brooder she was standing on her own chirping extremely loud- which concerned me. Is there anything else I should do?
Recently purchased this little girl at Rural King. I’ve had her for about a week. Last night she had pretty bad pasty butt. I ran it under warm water- and blow dried her. This morning it was back again. Not as bad, but still. Now that I have her back in the brooder she is just hanging out like...
Here’s the coop for reference. You can see the other girls in the run. I have the mean bird separated in the coop for a minute till I get a pen for her. Once I separate her, do I attempt to reintroduce her one the other hen is healed? Or do I just try and rehome her?
I just posted above what I’m feeding them. Im just having a hard time believing it’s either of those things. It’s just the 5 hens and they’re all the same age. I hate to say she’s just a bad bird, but I have no clue what else it could be.
I’m feeding them Kalmbach Flock Maker. The coop has plenty of space. There is only the 5 of them in there and the coop is 8x5 and the run is 16x5. They were all in a brooder together and there was no weird behaviors then. We moved them to the coop about 2 weeks ago.
I have a bully. I watched her several times following and chasing my most docile hen. I picked up the victim hen and noticed her back had been picked! I’ve got her cleaned up and put some wound care on it and I have them separated right now. I just don’t know how to get the behavior to stop...
So I started the Coris last night after reading some other posts. This chick is the one acting the funniest. Isolating herself, sneezing the most, and lethargic. Or at least more lethargic than the others. I have her separated right now. The others are all acting normal. Pecking away at a...
I just bought a few new chicks to add to my flock over the weekend. (1) Mauve Silkie, (2) Chocolate Showgirl Silkies, (2) Lavender Orps, and (2) Zombie Bantams. The Chocolate Silkies keep sneezing. No other symptoms. I did see one red stool, not sure who is was from, but I have not seen any...
