    Rooster pecking, need advice

    Hi, I'm having some issues with a rooster of mine. He is the only rooster in my flock of 5 (it was seven but we had some unfortunate losses). One of our hens, who seems to be a favorite of his, has a bald spot on the back of her neck we are almost certain is from him. There doesn't appear to be...

    Do broody hens get squishy crops?

    I have a silkie hen (who is about 8-10 months old) that's broody. She refuses to get off her nest, mind you that's in the floor in a corner where everyone sleeps. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yesterday while trying to move her to a less messy area, I noticed her chest area felt squishy. Now, I know this usually means...

    Big, hard yellow scab on my chicken's stomach

    I was dusting my chickens this morning and found a big scab on my chicken's stomach. It's about the size of a nickel. She is a 2 year old Black sex link. She also has a bald spot about the same size on her side. I have another bird who is missing all of the feathers on his chest and the front of...

A little background on my flock: We bought 4 chicks about 3 weeks ago. 1 Starlight Green Egger and 3 that are either Sapphire Gems or Sapphire Olive Eggers (My guess...

    New member (chicken missing feathers!)

    Hi there. I’m new to raising chickens, I moved into a place where 4 already were living. No one knows what their ages are or how long they’ll continue to lay eggs, so it’s a guessing game. I also don’t know their breeds. I’ll plan to post some more photos of the girls. Specifically, I’m...

    Odd bald spot with an odor on my hen

    I have a hen who is definitely getting up in years now. I've had her 6 years, she was full grown when I got her. Anyway, she still is very active and spunky normally. I recently dealt with 2 problems simultaneously with her. We had a Northern fowl mite infestation which I treated with warm baths...

    On my hens back at the very back of where her bottom flight feathers rest on her back there is a bald spot and what appears to be some sort of gash/cut. Its not fresh and seems to have scabbed but still looks recent. Any ideas of what this could be whether she somehow cut herself on something or...

    Feather loss on neck

    I’ve noticed that several of my girls are missing feathers on their neck, specifically under their chins and on the sides of their neck. Not the part you’d expect missing feathers from an over eager rooster. I’ve checked them for lice but they look clean, and there are no wounds on the parts...

    Bald spot on lower back of hens

    Wondering why my hens have a bald spot on the lower end of theirback. I saw online that chickens can molt around 18 months old but they are only around 12 months. Also with this time of year they shouldn’t be molting. I do have a rooster and maybe thought that was the cause but my rooster is a...

    Injury on wing

    When I went out today I noticed that one of my chickens had a strange bald spot on her wing. It looked a bit torn up. It didn't seem to bother her if I stretched her wing out and her only reaction was when I directly touched it. Could it be from getting mounted? I know bald spots from that are...

    Bald spot on Hen

    Hello there! This is something that I have noticed over the last few months.....I knew that one of my Barred Rock Hens was mounted several times by our rooster and she is balding on the back. I figured her feathers would grow back, but that's not the case now. She has a few pin feathers...

    Chicken has been missing feathers for over 6 months now and won't regrow

    One of our older girls, Elmira, had a rough go with our rooster over 6 months ago.... she quickly became his chosen hen and she was not a fan of that AT ALL. As a result, she ended up with a treading bald spot on her back. We got rid of the rooster immediately after she started showing signs of...
