I'm located in Oregon, just south of central and about 16 miles from the coast. Reedsport is on the coast and I'm about 16 miles east of there. It didn't get very hot here this past summer but most summers we have lots of days in the 90s and a few days in the 100s. Winters are mostly mild. We...

I was out gathering eggs today and my rooster jumped up on top of the nesting boxes right in front of me and stood there. He has a bald area and it seems to have some scabs. It's like he was showing me. Does anyone know what it could be and what would cause it? Link to a picture below...

Hi, I live in Scottsburg, Oregon, a very rural area. We're about 16 miles from Reedsport which is on the coast. My sister-in-law and I live next door to each other and we decided to raise some chickens. I'm a total noobie at it. Although my SIL has never raised them herself, her father raised...
