    Puffy face?

    She also seems to be starting her molt...tail feathers looking scraggly, several other hens are losing feathers too. I also have heard a few of the girls and one of the roos sneeze some but that seems to have cleared upa few days ago. We had been burning some trees we had to cut down so I...

    Puffy face?

    No birds added unless you count the four her sister hatched but they are 4 months old and have been in the run since hatch. I have just started giving them a treat of split peas, red pepper flakes, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil & corn. She has had a poopy behind most of her life which has...

    Puffy face?

    I have one hen whose face looks different than the others. All are Black Australorp. She is 2 years old. I don't know how else to explain except her face looks puffy and maybe she has feathers growing on more of her face than the others. Thought? Close ups are of hen being held, the other is of...

    6 New chicks' possible breeds?

    I've seen the black one with the fluffy feathers on his head try to mount our hens and the two black ones challenge each other. Where the other two don't do that and are more timid.

    New Black Australorp chicks - Gender guesses?

    Today I saw this pullet? jump down off a roost and chest bump another pullet. Her comb is much larger than the others of the same age (17 weeks) It's really hot in SC right now so they are all walking around with their beaks open. (Plenty of shade & cool water is available)

    Curled toes in 6 week old chick

    I had started giving her nutritional yeast last night but found out today it doesn't contain B2 riboflavin, I went today to get liquid B complex. So we'll start that this evening.

    Curled toes in 6 week old chick

    We noticed Saturday one of our 6 week old chicks was moving a little slow. Sunday she wasn't walking and as a result was pecked on the head pretty bad causing bleeding. (The peck isn't why she's not walking, it happened when my daughter went to get her to check out her feet) We treated the head...

    6 New chicks' possible breeds?

    Oh no! We were just trying to help them not be wild like the last chicks hatched by a broody. I didn't even think we would be breaking their bond. I thought of it as giving her an hour to take a break from them. Our (different hen) broody left her chicks at 6 weeks last year and her chicks are...

    6 New chicks' possible breeds?

    We have been bringing the chicks in for snacks (cooked egg yolk) and snuggles. Mother hen always calls them to her when we bring them back to the coop, BUT tonight she was up on a roost bar with the other hen and ignored them when they ran around chirping and looking for her. I finally got them...
