hen

Since we rescued one of my hens, she’s always come off as sick. She’s survived months and has always been one of the top hens, but recently I’ve become concerned. She makes a very weird neck movement, going side to side and around as if she’s trying to dislodge something in her throat or crop...

My 2 year old hen started pecking at my 6 month old hen (she is her mother). It's not a hard peck, as the hen doesn't scream or run away. She actually just stands still and then all move along. Could she be jealous or is she stating her dominance?

What breed are these? I assume a silkie is somewhere in there.

I have 13 silkys and one roo. They are all adults afew years old. They have stopped laying since November. I'm in Australia so it is summer here now. But we're I live the weather is always crazy. It will go from 35 degrees one day, and 10 degrees the next with cold nights. My hens were...

Hello, when one of my hens became broody, my kids convinced me to get three chicks to make her happy. I ended up with a straight run and two grew up to be roosters. They’re about seven months old now and crow back and forth nonstop. They get along with each other as brothers and rarely...

I have a seven month old gold top hen who I noticed 3 days ago was lame. However she was able to walk with her limp slowly and jump up to the roost but I decided to remove her from my flock as she is relatively new and is at the bottom of the pecking order and I was concerned the older girls...

Hi Everyone I have 6 hens and one rooster and have had them for almost a year. They all behave very friendly. This past Sunday morning we discovered one of our chickens had a brutal wound to the back of the head. The picture doesn’t do full justice, but there is a large gash of a hole that...

11 weeks old, got him/her from Atwoods

When most people hear this they are gonna think rooster, but he’s not doing this I have a hen who is about 9 months old and is losing feathers on her neck, but only on the front and bottom parts of her neck, ( a bit on the middle too ) it only started maybe last week, the pattern doesn’t match...

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible so not to waffle, but don’t want to miss out any details! I had a young hen, Rihanna, being badly picked and pecked by one other hen, Barbara, (and sometimes her accomplice) in the summer. Rihanna’s poor tail feathers were almost non-existent and as...

Pepper (his name) wounds are healing in speed whereas the huge patches at the back and under the wing are goin to take time. What should I feed him/her to not just heal but gain strength quickly & be warm during this cold. [I'm grateful to all those who reached out to guide me.]

Hey all! So I know this is a sapphire gem but I’m not sure if it’s a Roo or hen. I was thinking hen but then I noticed the red comb and wattles...what are your guesses? Thank you for all your help! 😆 He/she is about two-three months old

In the morning caught the rooster pecking the hen on the head so badly that she was bleeding i quickly removed her from there she was fully wet and tired from running getting beaten up. I've cleaned her wounds applied Polyfax Ointment. Feathers were a mess, huge patches of plucked out feathers...

This is what I did with my Christmas free time. :)

I have a one year old hen which is making weird coughing like noises and gasping occassionly. She is drinking and eating just fine but i am very concerned since my other hen who was of same age died earlier this year. She also was completely fine except for the coughing like noises. She died...
