    Is this a molt?

    Is this just a molt? We have no roosters, all the girls are in a very large, enclosed space. Super clean coop and feathers, no signs of mites or bugs. They’re about 12 months old. Cold and rainy here in the Northeast.

    Hi! I don’t think this is necessarily an injury, but I’m not sure. Her neck has been bald for a couple of months now. No signs of mites or any other infestation, all of the hens get along super well and I don’t have any roosters. Is she just going through a molt? My Easter Egger also had the...

    Red butt chicken

    What is up with my hen. She's almost 2 so I understand it may be a molt but I'm not sure. Her bum area is red and warm to the touch. I looked all over her body for bugs and found maybe 2 lice so I treated her for that even tho I don't think that's the issue. She had this issue 6 months ago and I...

    I need long time chicken keepers help.. pullet losing feathers, huge scabs, pus filled pores, not being picked on/no bugs?

    This has been progressing since she started growing her adult feathers. Always took longer than her hatch mates which made me think she was a rooster as all my roosters took longer to feather out compared to the pullets. It’s all over her body in spots so I can tell some of this couldn’t be...

I have got a French Copper Black Marans who is about a year old now and was the victim of some trauma from change and bullying, she looks awful and I’m wondering how long it will take for her feathers to regrow and for her to look beautiful again?

    Chicken skin or rash?

    Hi everyone! So I’ve had my flock for 5 years. The last week my rooster Stevie had a redness on his legs and belly I thought/think he was moulting he baths everyday. I just don’t want to make sure it’s not a skin irritation. No one else has it as dr as I can see.

    Hen Losing Feathers! Bad mites?

    My 1 year old hen, Rosie, is rapidly losing feathers, mostly on her back. She just finished becoming broody, and this is her first "molt" of adulthood. She has overall been pretty healthy, and is a black australorp/ISA brown cross and her parents have no issues. I'm thinking it's bad feather...

    Chicken with feather loss

    I'm wondering if anyone can just guide me with my feather loss. I have 4 girls but all different breeds. Only one has feather loss and I thought it was moulting but it has been going on over 12 weeks now I just don't believe it is. She is the biggest hen so no bullying and eating, drinking fine.
