Flock/Life Journey's 2019

Okay yall, I need some help... I have noticed for about a couple of weeks that my Buff Orpington has a bald head.. well today I saw some blood on her neck showing through her feathers! When I first noticed her missing feathers the only thing I could think of is that she was getting pecked when they would be on the roost at night and maybe she won’t move when “ordered” to!? Because whenever I am out there with them which is daily and I do try to at least observe them a bit... that there is never anything out of the ordinary.. no unusual bullying or constant pecking.. just the occasional peck here and there... so I have no idea what is going on!? What should I do about this? I know if they see the blood they may go after it more..

Screamers.



After looking at all the pics here mine is pretty boring. Beautiful birds from everyone. My Barred hollands are critically endangered and my Rhode Island Whites are threatened. I still have a few Dells and a pair of leghorns and some barn yard mixes.



That is so cool. It's always awesome to get a hot egg.

I was trying to put the hot egg on Jordan lol he wasn't having it.

First, cover the affected area with blue coat. Then try to determine who is doing the damage.

What is blue coat??
Thank you
I think the only way to find anything out is to go out there with a flashlight when they go to bed... raining again! As usual!!

Blue cote is a spray that hides the blood.

Yes! You need some blue egg layers. But then again, I’m quite happy you’re helping save some rare breeds.

I get white and tan eggs. I have white and barred birds. Nowhere near as colorful as yours.
