    Screaming and Balding

    We currently have 5 chickens: 3 Australorps and 2 smaller ones (unsure of the breed) Most of them have some balding occurring, which we originally thought was due to brooding, but it's taking a very long time for our biggest hen's feathers to return (Images attached of her bald back, it's been...

    Why is my hen's butt balding?

    Hey guys. So I see this question commonly asked on here. I read through some threads to see that a lot of you guys said that this is a common sign of mites or picking. So I have 3 hens. 2 are BCM's and one I believe is a BCM-Barred Rock mix. They all came from the same place. These birds were...

    why is one hen loosing more and more feathers?

    I have 5 silkies, 3 girls and 2 boys. I raised then from chicks and they're nearly a year old. They lived together until I separated boys from girls 6 weeks ago, because I thought the feather loss in the littlest girl (named Shadow) was from overmating. They seemed to be happy together though...

    Bald, irritated patches

    This is our first spring with a drake and females. I noticed today that all four of our females have significant bald, irritated patches of skin on their backs, beneath their wings. My first thought is that they're a result of aggressive mating, especially because the Swedish Blue, who is the...

    Bunny balding

    Does anyone know why my bunny could be balding on the top of his head? He is a little under a year old and neutered. He lives with a girl bunny and had lots of room. She does seem to be licking the bald spot a lot.

    Hen pecked?

    I have six hens and one has barely any feathers on her neck and a bald spot on her back, too. I suspect she is being pecked by the others. What can I do? Any safe repellants? Should I just keep her separate from the others? Thanks for any advice!

    Scabby, Dirty Ducks

    This spring, we decided to try our hand at backyard ducks. We don't have a HUGE yard, but we built a house and a run for our two fawn and white indian runners. They are a bit nervous, but can be handled and eat out of our hands. As the weeks went on, it became apparent that we have two males :(...
