Hello Peeps, I noticed this sore on my EE Scarlett's comb. It appears that it's healing but I wanted to run it by chicken pros. Some of the other hens have a small black spot here and there, which look like little peck wounds. This one looks sort of peely. I've also uploaded a pic of Elizabeth...
Hello I have two red sex links I got them both as chicks at the same they said they were about 2 weeks so if that's true by now they are 5 months 2 weeks old. One is already laying eggs Kurt she has a big red comb the other Dylan has yet to lay she has a tiny comb light pink but my Kurt's comb...
Please help! When letting my birds out this morning I noticed one of my Araucana hens wouldn’t open her eyes and is very puffed up. In another flock, one of my roosters had been picked on to the point of bleeding in his comb. I have separated both and dont know how to further assist them. The...
Okay, I live in Ma. Its been below zero the past week and a half (aside from today& yesterday) we got 16inches of snow and then a freeze... Wile doing my daily check on the "chickies" i noticed that the one and only dwarf bird that is owned here (RUDY THE ROOSTER) had frostbite on his comb. Just...
Hi! We've raised chickens for many years, but this is our first year with a rooster. He is a silver-laced wyandott, and a very good guardian. He is usually gentle with the hens and pretty docile for a rooster, which is why we decided to keep him (we were supposed to get all females in our...
Two out of my three full grown hens are both going through a molt. Both also have quite pale combs, while the one who isn't molting has a bright red comb. Is this normal or should I be worried?
We have 7 ladies, 2 big pullets and a rooster (with a fancy comb) - a mix of easter eggers & orpingtons and chantecler crosses. My coop is shown in the attached photo - we have a bit of insulation on the back and side but otherwise it's just plywood walls. We are trying the deep litter method...
I've got a fabulous little Pyncheon roo. Truly tiny but don't tell him that! He's got a huge personality!
I want to enter him in a local bantam show at our tri state fair, the only thing is his comb is so large that it droops over to the side. It's perfectly straight, just flops over, almost...
Three of my five BRs have large red combs & wattles (one of which has a larger c & w and has had it for about a month). On a couple occasions one or more of them has sang the egg song while up on their roost. But I've gone through their bedding (and of course the nest boxes) and have yet to find...
So I'm totally new to this who chicken raising. I have a very small flock a mixture of bantams too. My little fellow has developed a sad looking comb I call it. I recently just gave 3 roosters away because they seemed to be getting rough with the others. Does any one have any clue why his...
I've got some hens and roosters but I can't tell if some of my hens are actually roosters and are just a late-bloomer. My (for-sure) roosters have huge combs and pretty big and droopy wattles. All my hens (except for one who doesn't have a comb or wattle at all) have combs but they're just...
Today I found my 16 week chickens bleeding from their comb. One is pretty bad. I am having trouble identifying where the other one is bleeding from. I do not know what to do, this is my first flock of chickens. I have them separated and I attempted to wash their combs with warm water and a rag...
I have a three year old lavender orphington and I noticed a small bump on her comb. I took a small cotton ball with some poultry aid and cleaned it. Should the scab come off and it be cleaned? Any idea what it could be or how I should treat this? She's eating and drinking fine and my other two...
