We have 4 Aracona's and are just getting started.
This morning we found blood under where they roost but they seem ok, no obvious injury's.
It's under just one of them would roost at night.
They are just getting to...

This morning i went out to the coop and this Speckled Sussex's leg caught my eye because her legs are very pale and there was red on them. Upon close...

Hello BYC.
So i have been raising 15 chicks for 2-3 weeks. I bought them from MyPetChicken.com and they have all been doing splendidly, with no deaths so far.
I've been keeping them in a kennel/cage (perfectly sanitized new) with towels (changed every few days) pellets, medicated chick feed a...
I have a pen with Roo and 3 hens. 2 chicks hatched close to a week now. Today, looked onto them and saw the rooser, Andre, attacking the chicks. When I got there, 1 dead, 1 still chirping but barely. Not even moving. So, as I was getting the dead one, both hens started to attack me. I...
My chickens are three months and two weeks as of today. Today we are on day four of treatment for coccidiosis. I am using 2 teaspoons of corridor per gallon of water every day and mixing up a mash of their feed with the cord water. Nobody has ever acted sick or listless or anything. I happen...

I was gone for FOUR days, and in that short span of time all hell has broke loose. I'm losing chickens like crazy with no symptoms, and now today there are symptoms and I don't know what to do.
I had one hen sent in to the University and nobody has called or emailed back yet.
Ages range from...
Hi guys, we have had five chickens in a spacious coop for going on two years now. The chickens have always gotten on fine, and are extremely passive compared to chickens I've seen in the past. This morning my dad got up to clean the cage and found four of the five chickens had blood pouring from...
She is a buff orpington, 8 weeks old. It almost looks like dried blood to me, but they were definitely not there this morning, and I'm not sure if the blood would dry that fast. She had black specks a day or two ago, and they seemed to go away on their own. What do you think? Thanks.
Hello, we have hatched some quails and are about 5/6 weeks old! We introduced them into the adult batch and straight away the male got scaled and killed I was warned this was going to happen but I went down today and realised all the other newbies were really scruffy so I picked them up and...
So my ducks were free range today happily enjoying when I noticed blood coming from my Brahms toe, I picked him up and checked it only to see he has no nail and it’s bleeding everywhere. I’ve tried paper roll and towel to stop the bleeding, even put him in water and it’s not worked. Now he’s...
Hi there, would anyone know how to treat flesh wounds on chickens after a fox attack?
Two of my girls were bit before I could chase off a fox. One has some missing tail feathers and a couple of punctures which I've carefully cleaned and put antibiotic cream on. The other chicken, however, has a...
We have four hens. Great girls they're. We cracked an egg tonight and there was some blood in it. To hens are the same breed so we know which one it could be. Thanks for the help in advance.
Hello everyone, I have introduced some new chicks to my flock. I have had them around 7 weeks, they are fully feathered and have had outside time in a cage every day, for the past two weeks to enjoy the sun and meet the older chickens. Well I let them run around my feet when I'm outside and my...
I have 12 chicks that are now about 6 weeks old. Today I moved them from the brooder to a 5X5 Coop me and my Grandpa built.
I noticed that one of my bantams head was missing quite a few feathers so as I looked deeper into this issue and I noticed some blood at the base of what was left of them...
Our 2 year old Isa Brown hen has been losing feathers for around 6 months now. These photos are of her on the roost tonight (please excuse the low quality). I can’t see any sign of mites or lice. I can see blood around some of the feathers though.
Do you think one of the other hens might be...
We have 2 Rhode Island Red hens that are 1 year old. They free range during the day on 5 acres, and put themselves in the coop at night. We have 6 new pullets (mixed breeds) we are trying to introduce to them this week, and it isn't going well. There has been some minor blood drawn on all...
