concerned

I have a 7 month old EE girl who is doing EXACTLY what the hen in the video does- walking backward repeatedly with her head down. (My video would not load). Shes last in the pecking order, gets pecked often, and keeps to herself quite a bit. I've checked her over, no bugs, ears look fine. I've...

I have a 3 year old hen whose feathers are thinning out. It's like she has a receding hairline, tail feathers aren't growing back since winter and feathers on her bottom have become very thin. She also has developed unusually long toe nails as well. Also, she sleeps away from the other 5 hens...

First time chicken owner here........one of my 12 week old chickens has a bare patch roughly 2x3” on her chest—completely bare down to the chicken skin. A bunch of her feathers are lying around in the coop. The others don’t seem to be pecking at her. Help

When I went out today I noticed that one of my chickens had a strange bald spot on her wing. It looked a bit torn up. It didn't seem to bother her if I stretched her wing out and her only reaction was when I directly touched it. Could it be from getting mounted? I know bald spots from that are...

Hello! I am hoping to get some guidance as I just had another chicken die. I took over my mom's flock almost a year ago. Three weeks ago one of the 4 year old chickens died. She looked exhausted and was lethargic. I thought she was broody as she didn't show any signs of being ill. She died and I...

Hi! I recently bought my chicks about a week ago and was informed that when I bought them, my chicks were at least a day or so old. I have a black australorp (Madeline) two silver wyandottes (Mable and Myrtle), and a golden Wyandotte (Meredith). Now, I’ve had them or almost a week and have seen...

Ok, today is day 23, 9 out of 12 eggs have hatched. 1 of the 3 left is still alive. (I checked) How long do I wait till I help it? I don't want it to die.
