My dwarf silkie chickens have had some white leg growth for a while now. They're aren't noticing it themselves and it doesn't bother them but it worrys me that I have no clue what it actually is. I have searched the internet and now I'm asking here.

If so how do I...

Hello, I need help identifying what I pulled out of my roosters face.
I have a polish rooster who I noticed a week ago had a huge growth on his mouth. I don't know how long it had been there as he has a big old head of hair that hangs and covers most of his face.
I separated him from the rest...
I recently got two brahma hens from a fair, and I couldn't tell them apart except for that darker coloration on one of their faces. Now, one of them has a huge protrusion from the back of her head and at first I thought her feathers had gotten rumpled, but I'm fairly certain it's a growth at...
Hello!
So about 2 months ago, had a guy who needed to re home 70 hens asap. We gladly took them in, and needless to say, the poor hens didn't have a ton of space in their last home, which resulted in feather pickers.
So today I want to focus on how to go about getting these hens feathers back...

Does anybody have pics or a source with pics of turkeys growth week by week? A chart wiith expected height and weight would be useful too.
I am hatching mixed heritage eggs for the first time sourced locally from a fellow BYC member and want to get a better idea of what to expect.
(1.5 weeks ago) I found this "something" on my 2.5 year old chicken's tail next to the oil gland and at first thought it was a tick but it's under the skin and slightly exposed. It's very hard and you can tell it's larger under the skin (like a small iceberg). Any thoughts on what the heck it is...
Disclaimer: there are so so many of these. If you're interested in working with a specific gene, please google it along with "research" or "study" and chances are you will find way more information. If you find something great I missed, please post it!
Let me know if any links go down and if...

I have a 4 week old White Crested Black Polish with a cross beak. She is the sweetest little thing and will always come to my hand when I put it in the brooder. We give her wet food mixed with Gerber baby food and we give her water with a dropper a few times per day. She acts pretty normal and...
Hi Guys,
It would be most helpful if someone could post the real time photos of growth stages of a chicken from a chick to a hen or rooster showing the intermediate pullet or cockeral stages.
If the number weeks or months is indicated against each picture it would most helpful....
Hello, I Have a have a Guinea keet that I got almost a week ago and has had constant pasty butt and also has a strange “growth” like thing near its vent. I soak and clean the keet up many times a day and it has seemed healthy but today it definitely looks weaker and I really don’t know what this...
Do royal palm poults grow more slowly than midget white poults? My MW seemed to gain weight/size faster than the new RP poults I got. Just wondered if it could be a nutrition issue. Thanks!
Hi everyone! My dixie rainbow roo looks like he has a rock stuck in his wattle or maybe a growth or something. It's very hard but when I touched it he didn't seem to care at all. It isn't bleeding or oozing and there's no pus. He's eating, drinking, and struttin' his stuff - no sign of...
This is my first time with Ayam Cemani chicks and only second tim with my own. One was born what appears to be a portion of skin filled with water. It doesn't appear to be a yolk sack. After hatching I let it dry in bator and then moved to brooder. After noticing the growth I wrapped it in a...
