    Will her flight feathers grow back?

    I'm new to raising hens. I got my chicks last spring (2017). When my young chickens were around 6 months last fall my one hens, Beanie a barred rock and self proclaimed leader of the flock of 4, started 'flying the coop'. She jump the 6' fence and the others along with her. So I did what I do...

    New chick mom here...

    Hi! I recently bought my chicks about a week ago and was informed that when I bought them, my chicks were at least a day or so old. I have a black australorp (Madeline) two silver wyandottes (Mable and Myrtle), and a golden Wyandotte (Meredith). Now, I’ve had them or almost a week and have seen...

    Chick with unusual wings

    The pictures tell the story. Both wings are like this. The other chicks same breed, have 'normal' looking wings. Are they just long feathers? Is it something like angel wing in ducks? Is it an issue? Chicks are about a week old.

    Hen carrying wings low and wide

    I had 5, (now 4 since I lost my Plymouth Barred Rock) young hens that are about 10 months old; a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Golden Buff (Red Star), Buckeye and Rhode Island Red. I don't have a rooster. I'm pretty sure the Rhode Island is the boss, then perhaps the Wyandotte. The Buckeye has...

    Duck wings possibly broken

    I have a Muscovy duck that seems to have broken wings or were disfigured somehow & his brother seems to have the same problem with one. These ducks had a lot of problems as babies with the mother leaving them & almost drowning. I'm not sure how or when this happened or how to treat it? I'd...

    Wing feather loss

    This is my 2 week old Emdben's wing. (Had a hard time getting a better picture) It is also "raw" and without feathers on the "elbow" area as well as underneath the wing. Is this something i should be concerned about, or could she possible be getting in her new feathers already? Seems a little...

    Something is wrong with her wing?

    I noticed this a few days ago, our 11/12 week old RIR pullet, was looking sad and roosting all day but I noticed her top beak was broken at the tip. No blood or tissue showing and when I locked the other birds out she ate a ton of food and the next day she was out and about. But then I noticed...

    Bald spots on ducklings wings

    I'm quite new to raising ducklings and I noticed that duckling didn't start growing anything on two spots on its wings in 21 days now. They don't seem to be damaged or self pecked now, I did have a feeling they could be yesterday, but when I checked them today again it doesn't seem so - there...

I had been slowly introducing them to my current flock of (8) hens, (1) bantam rooster, and (3) ducks after I had an experience with the hens pecking my new chicks. I had separated the chicks an the old flock from each...

    Fence jumpers

    I have cut the flight feathers from all 6 chickens, but a couple of them have gotten over our 5ft fence since. Maybe making sure I cut them properly is my next to do list. Is this the right train of thought? Should I do anything else?
