    Sore on Comb

    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...

    Rooster Injuries

    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...

    Molting symptoms or sick?

    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?

    Are My Chickens Too Cold? They live in Ontario, Canada!

    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...

    Pyncheon Roo, first time showing questions

    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...

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...

    Do hens also have combs and wattles?

    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.

    Help! small bump on comb

    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...
