Oh well in that case, I think it would be fair to assume that they might have had a roo running with them. Even though you haven't detected any lice or mites , I would be inclined to treat them , are their legs clean ?

thats what mum is going to do
Yes their legs are fine!

Oh good, then you are off to a good start. Your chicken journey has begun.

I don't really know anything about where they came from unfortunately they were given to us by a friend who got them from where they were

You might find the others are pecking out anything new that grows before it gets a chance to fill it in. You could try spraying it with that no pick spray or even making them some rooster saddles to cover it till it recovers a bit.

Hello folks. I haven't been around for ages, because life got busy. And then chickens got busy. My gorgeous Rooster, Wellington, became a violent bully. At home, with me? He was fine. My husband? He attacked. My daughter, he attacked. THEN he attacked the toddler next door! Then he became coq au vin. I lost my Ancona, Antimony, who had been laying absolutely gorgeous green eggs for u, and my beautiful Maran just...dropped dead off the perch. That was a real loss - she was one of those chickens who comes over to cuddle you, so it was very sad. Chicken math occurred, because I'd lost several chickens and then felt sad so treated myself to some faverolles...and I felt guilty over Wellington, so I adopted three ex factory hens and am currently rehabilitating them to make up for having to get rid of him. They lay such gigantic eggs, but they're half the size of my birds. It's really quite sad, but boy do they love me now - they follow me around and let me hug them. Which is when THIS lady showed back up: With fifteen babies. FIFTEEN BABIES.

I would love some if they lay nice green eggs and are bluish lavendar or grey

Does any one know if scaly cracking bits on a Chooks legs are a parasite or can it be caused by something else. I saw it when I caught randy the other day but didn't get a picture.
