    Chicken losing feathers

    Hello! I have a buff orphington that over the last few weeks has lost feathers on her wings and her back. She is almost a year old. I originally saw our Rhode Island reds plucking a few feathers but now it seems she’s plucking her own. She now has a bald spot on her back. I’ve checked her...

    3 week Buff Orpington chicks pullet or roo?

    I know it’s still early but I noticed out of my two Buff Orpington that one has a larger comb and red waddles already. Does this mean it’s a roo?

    Buff Orpington & Silver Laced Wyandotte pullets or roos?

    We believe they are around 6 weeks old. Purchased from a farm store the first week of March, 2021. SLW combs are starting to turn a peach color, while buffs are staying mostly yellowish. Any help is much appreciated!

    can I give my chicken human amoxicillin?

    My buff Orpington is 7 months old, she became sick a few days ago. One of her eyes was swollen and had bubbles in it. But we have started treating her with Neosporin and saline twice a day. But now it seems like she is unable to breathe very well. She raises her head and takes a long breathe...

    Buff orpington hen, 8mo, needs a good home in the Triangle, NC area

    After 3 years of no issues, we were hit with a predator recently (probably a raccoon) and have been left with a sole hen after having 5. It's been a hard week. She's about 8 months old, has been a great layer so far, and is incredibly sweet with humans, other chickens, and dogs. We're not...

    Therapy Birb has Swollen Closed Eye

    My dad told me this morning that the dogs had gotten one of Cin's chickens, but he managed to save it just in time. I went looking for it to make sure it was okay (and it seems fine, just smells like dog). But then I happened upon my friend here who has a swollen closed eye and some crusty...

    Bullying following death in the flock

    A few weeks ago, one of my two Buff Orpingtons was taken by a hawk. Immediately thereafter, my Ancona rooster began bullying the remaining BO, with other hens often joining in. Here is a video from a camera in my coop: Any ideas about what to do?

    My hen is scared of my other hen. The main issue is I don't think she's eating.

    (I'm new so sorry if this is in the wrong place) I realized my Silkie is actually very small compared to my other Silkies. I also realized today that she's actually scared of my Buff Orphington Bantam so that's why she hides in a corner/behind the dog house all day. I'm scared she doesn't eat...

    Regrowing feathers?

    So I have this hen, shes a 4 year old buff orpington, that has been almost bald of feathers for more than a year. Two years ago I had a couple of aggressive roosters, and only 7 hens, which is when the feather loss started. I bought the girls "jackets", to protect from the roosters, but most of...

    Buff Orpington

    Today I was out with my hens and noticed our 3 year old buff Orpington hens legs and feet were very red. It’s only snowed once here so far this winter and melted mostly later that day. There’s no snow currently. Oh and there’s bubbly scale on the back of her leg if you look at the last photo I...

    Chicken with black dots around eyes

    Hi there. I really hope someone can help me. My chicken has these black dots around her eyes and some blood around her neck also (I’ll insert a picture). She is the head of the pecking order so it would be weird, but I guess possible for her to be attacked. She is acting normal and eating and...

It only took her a couple weeks to start laying and quickly became the head hen of the flock. About a month ago, we went broody. But it started while my husband a I were away on vacation for...
