Congratulations, nice eggs! I'm glad to hear she has fully recovered:)

So glad that she is feeling better! Well, if your rooster starts acting up, all I can tell you is try it and see if it works:)

Yes, I had mentioned that his spurs looks awfully sharp, especially for a 10month old? Is he older than 10months? I would blunt them. You can use a dremel to cut the points off, then smooth them a little more with a sanding wheel or if you are inclined, file them smooth/blunt them with a...

Well I'm glad you got a closer look at her:) Some are hard to catch. I do have the advantage of having a walk-in coop so I can go in early or late when they are roosting and just take one from the roost if I need to. It's not unusual for a pullet to molt. I have had 2 this year go through a...

Hi @rod5591 Can you get someone to hold her, move the feathers aside so we can see the injury more clearly? Does she have an open wound or scabbing? I do agree, it looks like she has some new feathers coming in on the neck. But you feel that she is just not quite acting herself. It would be...
