I have a flock of four hens (no roosters). These are my first birds.
The only other problems I have had is that Aza had a compacted crop, which I fixed with an epsom salt bath, and mysterious blood on the roost a while ago (probably just a cut or something).
Here's a list of problems in my flock:
-Aza has a butt that has been pecked bare
-Mrs. Hudson has a neck that has also been pecked
-Donna's chest (not pictured) has been pecked/molted and has been lacking some feathers for months
-The last one, Irene, is fine. Possible pecking suspect?
-Overall, there is a lot of very watery poops in the yard. I researched this a bit, and it could be liver problems or excessive drinking due to hot weather. Any idea which it might be?
AHHHH I'm just kinda freaking out because I love my little babies and 3/4 have bare skin and look pitiful. HELP
