    6 week old chick with lumpy and scabby neck and head

    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...

    Bald, irritated patches

    This is our first spring with a drake and females. I noticed today that all four of our females have significant bald, irritated patches of skin on their backs, beneath their wings. My first thought is that they're a result of aggressive mating, especially because the Swedish Blue, who is the...

    Red skin on tail, preen gland, and butt...no feather loss

    My Australorp rooster has really red skin all around his tail. There is no feather loss but his feathers look dirty and maybe a bit oily. I first noticed after a cold snap down to -12. While he is in a coop with 7 other birds, he is in a room by himself because I have another rooster. I thought...

    Dry and Peeling Skin on Chicken’s Face

    I have inserted a couple pictures of my 2 silkie chickens who are maybe about 6 months old. Can anyone tell me what’s causing their skin to be like this and how to treat it? My other chickens seem fine.

    Bald spots, no injuries

    One of my hens has a few bald spots behind her comb, and another hen is developing one by her ear. I got ahold of each of them and I don’t see any injury to the skin, no damage or skin issues... just... baldness. I’ve checked them over for mites or anything, and they all look really clean and...

    Beak falling off?

    Not sure what is wrong with my Silkie. It almost looks like the beak has been chipping off and her nostrils are covered? The skin above her beak looks bad.

    Chickens losing feathers due to a skin disease or just molting?

    Hi, I have a brown hybrid who had a small bold patch for a while now, but recently it’s started growing and at first I thought I’d was melting but no one else seem to be doing the same. The skin seems a little sore on one spot but there is no blood or cuts and the she doesn’t seem to flinch if...

    Red raw skin on belly

    Sorry about the title, not sure how to describe it. Today I opened the nesting boxes to collect eggs, and one of my hens was eating an egg in there. (Totally different problem not correlated with this.) I took the half eaten egg out of there and threw it away. When I took the rest of the eggs...

    Dry skin

    Hi. Can silkies get dry skin? My black silkie had some white dandruff on her neck and butt feathers. It's not there everyday. It comes and goes. She is broody at the moment and plucked some chest feathers out like before. So was just wondering. Advise for the newbie will be appreciated.

    Pics of butchered corn x with very weird skin! Safe to eat?

    Butchered this corn x yesterday, as I was plucking I noticed its very strange skin! It looks like different colored patches but it was actually more like it was patches of super thin skin that I could see through. And visible thin veins. I skinned it and the meat seems fine but I'd like to know...

    Rooster has bare rear end

    My rooster seems to have lost all of his tail feathers. It looks like a couple came back but it's very hard to tell. Any idea? I've used Vetrycin and no peck on it. I also have a hen that I think just has a skin and feather problem from the rooster bothering her so much. What do you think? Thanks

    Pig that doesn’t like getting wet?

    Hey all! So I recently become a foster parent to a pot belly pig. The home this pig came from was...let’s say less than great, and this pig has bad skin, and dirt caked all over him. He’s very dried out, and you can tell he needs some serious moisture. Now, every other pig I’ve had in the past...

    Duckling with Bald Neck?

    This duckling hatched a few weeks ago. When he hatched, he had feathers on his neck, but recently he's gone bald from around his beak to the start of his chest. He looks kinda cute like that, actually, almost like a vulture. But is this something I should be worried about? He has no strange...
