    Missing Feathers on Chickens

    Hi Kati, So sorry for not seeing this sooner! I'm so sorry, but I haven't found any solutions for my flock. They haven't gotten worse, but they haven't gotten any better either. They were more feathered before. :( I hope you can find a solution for your chicken! She's so cute!

    PLEASE READ: Hen Acting Somewhat Broody With No Roosters and No Eggs

    I would say yes to all of those questions. What is a broody breaker? Does it mean that I could get Penelope out of her broodiness without using chicks or eggs? Thanks for your article link, I'll check it out when I have more time. :)

    PLEASE READ: Hen Acting Somewhat Broody With No Roosters and No Eggs

    Hi all, This is a long post, but I need help. I would appreciate if you took the time to read. About three months ago, one of my smaller hens, Penelope (a Dominique), was attacked by a fox. My mother happened to look out the window at that moment, so she was able to run outside, grab Penelope...

    Missing Feathers on Chickens

    No, I don't have any super dominant hens. Some are higher up the pecking order than others, but they all have someone to peck. Besides, some of the ones in the pictures were the more dominant ones, so I don't think it would be because of that (but maybe, I don't know).

    Missing Feathers on Chickens

    I didn't see any mites on my chickens when I checked. It's possible that I overlooked them, but I looked very closely. I've never seen them on my chickens before.

    Missing Feathers on Chickens

    No, not that I've noticed. They're usually pretty friendly to each other except for the occasional light peck.

    Missing Feathers on Chickens

    Hi all, I've noticed that several members of my flock have had a lot of missing feathers on their neck and head areas. I don't believe it's from pecking, because even the ones at the top of the pecking order have them, and the chickens don't viciously peck each other. I've uploaded the best...

    Broken Beak

    Hi all, Earlier this afternoon, I was cuddling with one of my hens (Vicky) during free-range time when I noticed a crack in her beak. There was a chunk of beak sort of hanging next to the crack, but it was still attached. She seemed to be otherwise normal. I've attached a few pictures of the...
