    Is this fowl pox?

    Thank you so much for your help! I'm glad it wasn't necessarily life-threatening.

    Is this fowl pox?

    My 3.5 year old ISA Brown has some black wart-like lumps on her comb and wattles. She doesn't show any signs of sickness otherwise, since she is still energetic and food-driven. I don't see these on any other hens. These bumps developed within the last week. What should I do to treat them...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    The chickens have been doing well. There are a few that still get me worried, like Betty whose ascites need constant attention, and Butterfly (4 yr old ISA brown), whose cohorts of same breed and age all died in the span of a few months for unknown reasons. Still, the rest are healthy, and we...

    Hen losing weight, lethargic, comb darkening

    Hen losing weight, lethargic, comb darkening

    She still will eat food. I have her on organic layer feed with the other hens. They eat small amounts of kitchen scraps like apple and carrot peels. I have to dip her beak in water to get her to drink. Once I get her started, she will keep drinking for a while. Her last egg was about two months...

    Hen losing weight, lethargic, comb darkening

    Ladybug is a three year old ISA Brown. Ladybug has been very lethargic lately. She just stands or lies down in the sun. She doesn't seem to be in pain. She doesn't fully extend her neck and keeps it hunched. I have not seen her poop at all. Her vent looks normal, with a bit of poop on the...
