    Complete molt or something else?

    Hello, I've got a year and a half year old cochin hen that is dropping her feathers like crazy. I checked for lice/mites, and nothing. Her skin looks really healthy, but if you touch her, her feathers fall out. She's not picking at them either. Within a day she has huge bald spots. I moved...

    Muscovy ducklings with bald spots??

    Hi! We are new to ducks this year. We have two mallards and two muscovys. Our muscovys are younger. I noticed the ~8-10 week old looks like it has bald spots on its back and now the one that is a couple weeks younger looks like it has it also. Is this normal or any ideas of what may be causing this?

    Broody in winter

    My 8 month old silkie has gone broody right in the middle of winter. She's pulled out all the feathers on her underside, and I'm worried about her keeping warm. It's currently getting down to the low twenties, and the worst of the winter weather is yet to come. How long will it take for her...

    Rooster is getting picked on by Hens

    Last week I noticed my 2 top hens were beginning to peck on the other girls. I did not think anything of it because they are at the top of the pecking order. Three days ago I noticed the same 2 pecking another hen more aggressively. Two days ago I changed their mulch in the run. On that day I...

    Duckling with Bald Neck?

    This duckling hatched a few weeks ago. When he hatched, he had feathers on his neck, but recently he's gone bald from around his beak to the start of his chest. He looks kinda cute like that, actually, almost like a vulture. But is this something I should be worried about? He has no strange...
