I have a similar situation going on, but my newer additions are one brood of 4 ten-week-old pullets and then a 7 week old twosome of a pullet and surprise cockerel. i’m worried about the latter pullet, once the roo is growing. they really keep to themselves and i’m fearful that she’ll end up...

Complicated situation with a very bonded pair Alright so, I have 3 “flocks” I’m trying to integrate. 1) my OG birds (six birds, 1 year old) 2) chicks born 3/7 (4 birds, all pullets) 3) chicks born 3/26 (2 birds, 1 pullet and 1 cockerel) currently, flocks 2 & 3 are together on one side of the...

Wow!! That pattern sure does look familiar! Maybe they’re mixed with the same mystery breed :)

She was said to be a Black Star but I’m not sure how accurate the breeding was, they all wound up looking a little different. This is what she looks like now-

She’s on medicated starter/grower that is 18% protein… anything else I can do?

this is what i’ve been giving them, what should i get???

This was really hard to get a photo of, but it’s this normal looking?There’s a spiky texture to the bottom of her foot and a small soft lump in the center. Is it bumblefoot or something else or totally normal?

I have two month old pullets, all have been fully feathered for several weeks. All except for this one. We just got through treating a nasty scab on her back from her picking at herself (hence the purple stain, thanks Blu-Kote). Now her feathers are finally coming in there, but they look…...

Just over a month. I hope so, we can’t have another roo
