Oh, thank you very much.
Thank you.. I have no idea what you're talking about either, but I can ALSO tell you that if some people don't keep chickens the way they are kept here, or worse, the people—not the chickens—will face many problems down the line: depression, violence, illness...
You don’t seem to understand. These chickens aren't kept as a hobby or for the sake of keeping them. The lifestyle you're accustomed to is so detached from the realities of others that you fail to recognize that, in different circumstances, these animals are essential for improving living conditions and standards.
I also didn’t mean to offend. I understand that you have to do what you need to do to live/feed your family 100%. Chickens are used for meat and eggs but some of them have them for pets as well but I understand that sometimes that isn’t possible. Wishing you the best
They're very healthy and active. And bright
If you need help finding a better spot with the materials you have available, you can always ask, and the people here will help with ideas (they are super good, youd be surprized). Sorry, I was not trying to say you are bad. Some people just don't know better and do have resources, and I wasn't sure if you were one of them.
I also didn’t mean to offend but you asked “what is this on my hens” and I’m asking which part? We all gave you reasons why this may be happening and it’s great that you want to treat it but I don’t think you’re wanting to prevent it. I understand other cultures do things differently. People in first world countries also keep them for food but ensure their quality of life is acceptable beforehand. So I believe people are trying to be helpful and not offensive. Good luck.
I Just wanted to thank you for answering this question without being rude, disrespectful, or condescending. I get really flustered when I see people picking people apart on social media over things that they usually literally have zero context for. It makes the atmosphere one where people are scared to ask questions for fear of being chastised. I dont agree with it. So seriously, thank you for being so kind and helpful!
Its feathers are rubbed off from trying to reach the feed in the bottom corners of the feeder (from rubbing against the top edge of the feeder would be my best guess)
