Hello,
we are having problems with this hen, I've never seen something like that. We found her pale and hunched over and proceded to separate her, deworm her, she started to eat again and she is feeling better but her skin is really looking weird. She has brown spots and its really dry, also...
I had two chicks develop this condition this year in two different "cohorts" - incubation batches. The first chick got so bad we had to cull the poor feller.
I did some more research when the second one developed it. There is an itchy flaky skin condition on face and feet with yellowish crusty...
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...
Hi,
I have a 6 month old white silkie, I got her from a hatchery. I have two other silkies from a breeder in Texas. My hatchery chick is probably the smartest and most curious and loves to really relax and be petted. One morning, I noticed her eyes almost completely closed. I thought she was...
Soooo I’m back with my weird chickens!
Can y’all tell if this is pecking or a skin disease? I’ve been watching for pecking behaviors from another chicken but they must secretly be ninjas. I can I deter pecking when I’m not around/at work?
This is my second post about my duck Penny. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had a duck with this issue, and what the outcome was. I noticed bleeding from area above her wings a few weeks ago. The skin under her feathers was raw and red. I took her to the vet and he said he wasn't sure...
We noticed our buff was losing feathers.
When we flipped her over, we saw that all the feathers on her abdomen were gone and she had a half inch abscess (see photo). Skin is read.
She is not bloated and it does not appear that she has water belly.
Could this be thrush?
In March, my 1 year old Columbian Rock Cross hen, Chalky, lost tons of feathers while we were away. We though she was just molting very badly, but after 2 months, we realized that was not the case. We started to think she could have been attacked by something. Sometimes it appears as if she has...
Hello,
This is Prinny (named after Prince, as she was born the day he died.) She is a Black Australorp. I started noticing some feather loss around her head about six months ago, but it seemed minor so I let it go. Then a couple months ago, I noticed that her crop area was bald as well as both...
