    Sick BO Pullet - Please Help

    Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...

    Bloody feathers and poo, but just one.

    My BO has bloody feathers around her vent this morning and I found a single bloody poo in the coop. She’s behaving fine and her poos now look completely normal. She’s not laying yet, but should be getting close. I’m not sure what to do. Could it be coccidiosis with just one bloody poo or is it...

    What's wrong with my hen?

    I've noticed over the last few months that my hens comb has changed color. It used to be bright red and now to me it looks pale and looks like it has shrunk. Here is a picture from 2018 vs 2019. What do you think has caused this? She is 2 years old. She also is missing butt feathers that are not...
