    Botched integration

    Last Wednesday I picked up two pullets. I did not quarantine and that's not what this post is about. The pullets are 7 months old. It was the owners only flock and they decided that chickens weren't for them. The chickens were free ranging with a very tiny coop set up in comparison to how many...

One of my hens was wounded so badly, we ended up putting her down at the vet shortly after. The two of the girls were unharmed, but one has suffered a pretty bad gash to her breast. She...

    Pecking wound on neck

    One of my hens was severely pecked by another hen. We have isolated the aggressive hen but the other hen has a very nasty wound on the back of her neck. It looks like a hole and it is bubbling and fizzing. Ive never seen a wound do that before. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    Today just as I was herding them all (4 ladies and 2 men) in the pen I notice Cher standing off to the side all fluffed up and there were small drops of blood under her! I got her up on a table and had a look under her wing. Her side is open, all the skin scratched away with a good size hole and...
