    Pasty Butt Coming back

    I think you just have to keep it clean daily till it stops. I have seen some recommendation to use a little olive oil or vaseline on/around the area also.

    Help please: Is this a disease, injury or something else?

    Neck/upper back. I guess it’s probably egg yolk. I know they were crammed into those pens and trailers before I got these. I just didn’t see how the yolk would get down into feathers on the upper back/base of neck area in just one spot not everywhere, and without any of the white being all over...

    Help please: Is this a disease, injury or something else?

    Don’t know if they are molting or just in poor condition. Just got them from a sale. One is missing all of her breast feathers. The other looks better feather wise.

    17 RiR Chicks, picture tips?

    How old are they? Once they start developing their combs and stuff it’ll probably be fairly easy to tell.

    Help please: Is this a disease, injury or something else?

    We got 2 laying hens. I think they were ex-battery hens maybe? Bad condition, dirty. I broke down and gave them a bath with baby shampoo. One had this on its back near the base of a patch of feathers. I know there are yellow lice, but this didn’t move or anything. Could it be any kind of...

    How to help a dirty, filthy chicken?

    I broke down and gave them a bath with baby shampoo, rinsed clean, trimmed a few feathers in vent areas. Poor babies had food and/or poop all up in there feathers on their backs. One is worse than the other and missing more feathers. But the “healthier, more feathered one had this yellow stuff...

    How to help a dirty, filthy chicken?

    So today we bought two cinnamon queen laying hands from somebody that had bought thousands and are selling them. But their feathers are dirty? They’re soft but they look like they’ve got just crud built up under or around them. Should we just offer a dust bath and that’ll clean them or do we...

    A silly question, but how do I know if babies died in their egg?

    Almost jumped out of your hand, as in moved by itself?

    Rhode Island Red Roos or Pullets?

    I say pullet. My 2 RIR are only 4ish weeks old. See pics for reference. I know at least one of mine are roosters, but maybe both.

    24 hour old chick with legs and feet issue.

    I had a chick hatch yesterday that was doing the scoot walk and all that, but it wasn't falling over. It was recommened bu @Eggcessive I believe to use poultry cell. Alternatively if no poultry cell, to get the "super b complex" human vitamins from walmart, crush half of one tablet in a tsp of...

    Help with egg viability and when to toss

    I’m not a pro, but for 15 days I’d think all the bright ones are no good. Not sure on the half dark one.

    Chick leg issue or does it need more time?

    I have the super b complex, so 1/2 tablet crushed into 1 tsp water. Only give 2-3 drops per day, not the whole tsp mixture? Just want to verify I’m doing right.

    Chick leg issue or does it need more time?

    I have the rooster booster. It says to mix 1/3 teaspoon per gallon. Would I make it a little stronger, or use as directed? I can get some b complex from the store tomorrow if needed.

    Chick leg issue or does it need more time?

    I have a chick that isn’t up and walking. I’m not sure if it needs more time or if there may be a leg issue? I posted a few videos on YouTube of it. It is kind of hopping/waddling? Sometimes it stands and goes a few steps, but then plops back to its butt. It doesn’t look like the splay legs that...

    Sex guesses on my chicks

    So, it’s still early days, but I’m pretty sure I have about half cockerels. They are about 4 weeks old. Got them March 22, but they were from hatchery bought at a local farm that resells, so we’re at least 3-5 days old when I got them. So may be closer to 5 weeks? Anyways, please look at the...
