    Is My Silkie Hen Sick?!

    Hi All! I realize that several people have had experiences in the past with chickens that have developed odd lumps and bumps on their faces with no apparent cause. However, I thought I would share these pictures in case someone can now identify what's wrong with my hen. Researching it proved to...

    Comb healing

    One of my roosters have been getting picked on by another chicken which we are getting rid of and has some dry blood on his comb. Is there a good way for it to heal faster? I heard Vaseline helps. Also is there a way to get the blood off? I’ve tried with water but it didn’t go to well. Will it...

    Is the chicken comb and wattle look redder under the sunlight or it's just me?

    I noticed today that my Cochins comb is torn. It looks scabbed and crusty. Any advice on how to treat? Or just let it be? There was some blood spatter in their coop yesterday but there was no explanation for it, did not notice the torn comb yesterday but wondering if that is where the blood...

    One hen (?) with a large comb

    Hi! This is my first post here, and also my first time raising chicks! One hen that we got has developed a much, much larger comb and wattles than the other four hens we have. I just want to ensure that this chicken is actually a hen, because I am not able to have a rooster within the city...

    I'm starting to think I have awful chicken luck...

    We got chickens originally because we wanted to have fresh eggs. We gambled on straight run for our first 6. Ended up with 2 cornish x which were labeled as something totally different and 4 barred rock. 5 out of the 6 chicks are boys and the pullet is a cornish x! 😭 So we went to get pullets...

    4wk old Gold laced red Wyandotte: Roo or Hen

    This is Freckles! I’m not sure if Freckles is a he or a she. I’ve been saying “she” but I noticed today that she is missing her comb and her wattles are starting to grow in but all the other chicks have their combs and I haven’t noticed any wattles. I guess I have two questions. 1) Is it normal...

    Interesting (unusual?) comb!

    My chicky Bobby (presumably female) has the most unusual looking comb. In all the research I've done I haven't come across one like her's. What will it form into?

    Large scabs on rooster comb

    Hi, Our large German Bielefelder rooster (age 2) has had scabs on his comb for several weeks. They were originally black, and have now changed to the color seen in the attached photos. I have tried to research, and all I can find is either the hens are pecking him or it's fowl pox, and...

    Rooster's wattles have discolored patched and puffy (don't think it's frostbite).

    Hi Everyone, Peanut, my 4 year old Old English Game Bantam, has some discolored caruncles on his wattles (images attached). They seem to be a bit puffy as well. I just noticed it yesterday. He still acts healthy - crowing, scratching, eating/drinking normally and his droppings look fine. He's...

    Is there something wrong with my hen?

    I have a small mixed flock of five hens. Two of which are wyandottes. One is golden laced and the other is silver laced. Both birds seem to be healthy, but our silver laced has a weird, kinda stumpy comb. She doesn't get bullied for it, (as we also have a dark cornish, which has no comb) but I'm...
