He never pees or poop out side of his litter box. He is very neat and all the stuff in his cage is clean. His sore hocks are dry, callused and pink but they go all the way up foot. I have not been putting anything on them in hopes that the will heal them selves. Thanks for the help!

My rabbit has sore hocks and I can't get them to heal! They are dry and red and I have been putting bag balm on them . He is spoiled to death and lives in a huge cage with carpet flooring and nest boxes with hay and lots of room to run around. He is very happy does not seem sick at all. I keep...

my chicken is doing the exact same thing. Sooooo sad looking. I am afraid she is getting too cold also her skin is very pink looking in some spots? How do you know idf they are warm enough? The temps are in the low 30s here too.

Red on the face:)

1 hen 3 roos sorry:(

Nice roo:D

Hey I have a 10 month old hen who is losing a ton of feathers also. They seem to be coming from her underside also? We have no roosters either. I also have two other chickens and they haven't lost a single feather? Is it strange that it just came on out of the blue? No gradual build-up...

Is it normal for chickens to stand out in the pouring rain ALL day until they are drenched? My 3 birds have a covered run and a huge, gorgeous coop and they absolutely refuse to go in there, except to lay the eggs and at night when its time for bed. My husband is a little miffed that they...

mine started at 20 weeks, we also were on vacation

Thanks so much Ellie. They do seem perfectly happy and healthy. They have also been laying great up until now? All three have been laying an egg pretty much everyday. I am starting to think that it might be happening with 2 of my hens. I found two soft eggs today and then one of my chickens...

So actually after I looked closer there were two soft shelled eggs under my roost this morning? Now she's in the nest box trying to lay another egg? Do I need to take her to a vet? How many eggs can a chicken lay in a day? Anybody???

Does this have anything to do with being egg bound? Seems like she's more "loose" then bound? I just wouldn't want anything to happen to her. Thanks

Help. My 3 hens have been laying for about 3 weeks. One of them laid a soft shelled egg in the run her first time. They've all been laying almost an egg a day since and always in the nest box. 3 days ago my hens all ran out into the yard in the afternoon and a soft shelled egg kinda just...

For our brooder we bought a large old dresser at Goodwill, turned it on it's back , took out all the drawers and dividers, and put a framed hardware cloth top on it. Worked great and very cheap. Might be too small for what you're talking about but a couple. Our dresser was only $5 because it...

She looks a lot like my GLW pullet. She had the little red wattles too, but still a girl. Good luck with the leg, I'd be doing exactly the same thing

I don't think mines comb was quite that big at 13 weeks and her tail is a bit different, not such curly looking tail feathers? I am quite obviously no expert on these things

Thanks Jen My birds are 20 weeks, only 3 of them. I have never seen her picking her own feet, but we did have 2 other birds(since been rehomed) that were picking her feet, so yes, I have seen the other birds picking them. She is very sweet and dosen't stand up for herself. I feed organic...

I think it's important for people, new and experienced, to ask and weigh the options based on their particular beliefs. Everyone has different concerns and differing levels of concern for themselves and their chickens. I for example am a freak and overanalyze everything. For example,I have a...

I think these were from around 3-5 weeks. She is a girl. She is actually What they call a Production Red, but the farm store said it was almost exactly like a RIR. I am no expert but mine looks an awful lot like photos of RIRs that I've seen. Good luck. Here she is at about 15 weeks

Mine has a huge red comb, maybe even bigger than yours and about the same wattles and she is 19 weeks and laying eggs I say pullet.
