    Beak injury?

    Any spot where they are able to get their heads through anything, unless they're rubbing it weird on some part of their run's hardware cloth. I'll check for sharp edges. They were confined to their run for a week while we were gone on vacation vs. They normally free range. so maybe there is...

    Beak injury?

    Two of my hens have this spot on their beaks, like they've rubbed it raw on top or something? This one has some rubbing on the tip too, like its been rubbed blunt on the top beak instead of more pointed. The other two don't. Could they be pecking at each other? This is a new one for me. Should I...

    Cut on foot - advice please

    I just noticed this today, looks like it was from a shallow cut thats started healing, it isn't bleeding. Should I put some antibiotics on it covered with Vaseline? I'm worried my other hens may start pecking it. Hen is acting, walking completely normally.

    Something caught in throat or respiratory illness?

    She was shaking her head a bit last night, yes. Today she seems to be straining less and is a bit louder but still quiet. I'll go pick up a watermelon.

    Boys or girls?

    Golden lacy wyandotte and a RIR. They're 9 or 10 weeks based on how old I guessed they were when I picked them up at the feed store.

    5 days no egg

    Hi, I have a year old WH that has been laying consistently since March, so around 140 eggs this year. She's looking pretty scrappy, her feathers are no longer really smooth and soft like my 5 mo olds. She preens fine. She lost her best friend four weeks ago and has had the stress of...

    Are my hens actually drakes?!

    She's very unique looking though, it's cool! Maybe her bill will change over time and with laying onset, who knows? And yes my drake is very beautiful, his bro got rehomed so he's got his own harem now but the one that remains is picking on my almost 1 yr old laying female who just lost her...

    Are my hens actually drakes?!

    Not sure if you're responding to me or not. But yeah the Saxony and magpie were never in question, just the grey headed male Welsh harlequin. They definitely both ended up being drakes lol I know how to tell the difference now from about 5-6weeks. Lol. Here is one now

    Definitely sounds hen to me. Not sure why her bill is so light though. How does she look now?
