    HELP! My hen has green on her bald head

    Missing feathers? Probably from the roosters. More than half of my hens out at the farm are missing feathers on their backs. It usually bothers people way more than it seems to bother the hens. You can try getting hen saddles to protect their feathers while they work on growing them back. The...

    HELP! My hen has green on her bald head

    It looks like bruising to me. With that many feathers missing on her head, a rooster probably just pinched her while mating when he went to grab her neck. It doesn't look infected and I don't see any broken skin.

    MY FIRST HATCH! Food themed Hatch-Along.

    I agree if no one smells suspicious I mark the ones I'm not sure of with a❓️ (the ones that look good get a ✅️) and put them all back in the incubator until I candle again at day 10.

    Any brilliant ideas to keep hen from pecking at herself?

    Day 4 update Hen 1 seems to be doing alright. She seems to have stopped picking at herself at least. Hen 2 is doing...OK. she's still alert and responsive, but she looks like she's not feeling as good as the other girl. She's also less cooperative. Hen 1 will eat the baby aspirin wrapped in...

    Any brilliant ideas to keep hen from pecking at herself?

    Well the roosters' spurs were nothing to write home about. I'm wondering if it may have been the boy who lost part of two toes to frostbite this winter, his injury is on the same side as the gashes on both hens and he's still a little clumsy with that foot. The spur wasn't very sharp at all. But...

    Gold or Blue Laced Wyandotte

    The lacing does appear black in these pictures, but I wouldn't rule out a very dark blue just yet. It took 8 weeks for me to be certain that my BLR wyandotte (front) was in fact dark blue and not black. Same chicken, all grown up Blue laced wyandottes are andalusian blue, also called...

    Cockerel or Pullet?

    RIR aren't autosexing, they're black tailed red which look the same at hatch whether they're male or female. Autosexing breeds are only sexable by down if bred to the same breed, once you cross them with another breed you lose the autosexing traits. But as long as none of your roosters are...

    Cockerel or Pullet?

    It's a baby, and it's barred, that's all I can say for sure with the information I have. Do you know which breed was the hen and which was the rooster? I'm assuming CL is Cream Legbar? In that case it my be a sexlinked cross but only if the legbar is the mother and the RIR is the father.
