    Mystery red spots + flakes on chick belly

    My 10-wk old giant cochin has been afflicted with small flat red spots and dry flaky skin on her belly for >2 weeks with no signs of improvement. She's the only one out of three in my first ever flock exhibiting these symptoms and is otherwise acting normally-- eating, drinking, pooping, and...

Her skin is crusty and dry, her wattles and comb are pale and very dry (almost looks like craft glue that’s peeling off) and her face is white (like baby powder). She has also not been growing new feathers at all, I...

    Duck with weird skin and bald patches - Anyone seen this before?

    So we have this little drake who gets picked on by the other boys (he has since been removed from the boy pen) They liked to hold him down and tear out feathers. It wasn’t bad at first as they all tugged on each other, but then we noticed that he started to do it to himself. Like self...

    Hi All! It never fails, but I go on vacation and come back to one of my hens faces like this! Poor baby, looks so uncomfortable! I washed her face with just soap and water yesterday and started Miconazole cream, but wanted to confirm my thoughts and google research. Do we agree favoring Favus...

    Blue/Purple spot on hen’s breast

    I have a hen that has been broody for five weeks now; has not laid, and just started voluntarily leaving the coop every morning a couple days ago. She has gotten quite skinny while broody but appears normal and healthy. She clucks a little more and is more cautious than she used to be but...

    2 weeks old… is she molting ?

    Hi! This chick appears to be growing up differently than the other chicks that I assumed were the same breed when I purchased 10 from Tractor Supply. I’m not sure what’s going on. It could just be molting, but it’s around 3 weeks old and the others have barely gotten all their feathers and still...

    Question? Purple ears?

    So I have this new rooster he’s about 5 months. He’s a cross between Easter egger and a sliver laced polish. Polish is the daddy. He has purple spots on both sides of his face. Idk if it’s from pecking order or if it’s like his ears? Or some sort of skin disease? I’m going to attach the best...

    Large scabs/crusts with fatty tissue/secretion on chicken skin

    Anyone please help me figure out what this is (see pics below)? I'm sure it's not uncommon, but it's hard to steer the search results away from more common conditions. I had removed this kind of "scab" from this rooster when he was 3 mo, and I thought it was just some skin inflammation as result...

    Our silkie hen has been sitting on eggs for awhile and we finally had one successful hatch yesterday. She has been isolated from the flock for about a month, once she started to go broody but about a two weeks ago I noticed her face getting crusty. She has also lost feathers (though she was a...

    This skin condition doesn’t appear to be improving by spraying daily with “veterinary formula clinical care antiseptic and antifungal spray. There appears to be a thick build up of this yellow material at the base of the feathers. This yellow buildup continues down the neck and stops. I don’t...

    hi everyone!! Aylesbury duckling will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Noticed this patch of fluffless skin earlier? Someone mentioned could be losing her baby down ready for feathers, someone else said it could be mites? Any suggestions

    Hi everyone, I'm new to having chickens and everything has gone well so far except for this girl. She is a mystic onyx which I understand has some Silkie in it. She has always been a bit of a lone ranger but ever since about the 4 week mark she has slowly developed scabby, bumpy, and flakey skin...

    Help! What is this?

    My son got chicks at Tractor Supply. And after having them home for one day they have this but just mostly on their bellies. He said they weren’t like that when they bought them. It’s only been a day! Any ideas? He did also say they found the waterer leaking which meant they were laying in damp...

    Skin conditions

    Not sure what type of chicken- about 9 weeks old. Seems normal physically, seen some liquid poop. This condition is between its wings, above the tail, and not visible unless wings are open. First time chicken owners. Cross-beak, but eating and drinking fine. Any ideas?
