Hey y’all, im not too sure if i’m posting in the right forum. I’m looking to adopt this EE from a neighbor of mine. Before I do, i’m concerned about her neck area. Is this normal for EEs to have?

That’s a Salmon Favorolle, and can you clarify what’s concerning you?

I circled what’s concerning me, I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be like that or not

It’s her beard. It’s normal, as long as it’s just fluff and skin.

Is she for sale? Make sure to quarantine new birds for at least a month. During the quarantine, I deworm any new additions and watch for diseases. Checking for mites and lice and other abnormalties is a good idea as well.

Technically yes, he has 5 of them that he’s looking to get rid of. I’m new to this whole chicken thing so i’m trying to get as much information as i can. How do you deworm your chickens?

Orally give it to each chicken via syringe, directly into the beak. My flock free ranges so I do it 2 times a year. Its a large task. I recommend safeguard or Valbazen (this seems to be more popular). For mites and lice, DE doesnt work well, use permethrin.
