Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

So just like the title says. A week ago I posted here about my chickens head where she developed some spours of some kind and after a quick google search it says its dry fowl pox. Google said to isolate her. I also read to keep them together since after it runs its course they all become immune. Is there anything i can do to help her get thru this? How long will this stay on her head? I noticed small spots on the other hens not so much as the actual big pieces like her. Can i help dry the one on the other hens before they spour

Question My chicken yells when other chickens are laying?

36 Upvotes

One of my chickens absolutely yells her head off when the other one is laying an egg. The yelling chicken is at the top of the pecking order and if the other hen goes in the nest box to lay, she does very shrill bokbokbok BAWWWKK bokbokbok BAWWWWK noises for an hour or two until the egg is laid. Laying chicken doesn't yell at all. WHY?

I have been trying to heal my flock with doxy. Thought we were out of the woods twice but now it’s back and my 12 week old chicks are starting to show symptoms. Feeling defeated. No flock vet in my area. Probably going to get lots of hate responses here. But I tried so hard. I feel horrible.

Here's my four babies, the white one is indeed an onagadori too despite the naked neck.

They're adorable, 3 of them are roosters for sure so I'm just hoping they'll stay calm but I have a lot of hens.

New chicken owner. The previous owner no longer wanted his flock. This hens feet look chunkier than the others. She walks fine and is eating and drinking. Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do for her?

Question Question sur les gênes de la couleur des oeufs

2 Upvotes

Je me pose des questions sur la génétique de la couleur des œufs chez les poules. Je voudrais faire éclore des œufs d'olive eggers qui seront le croisement de poule Marans avec un coq Araucana. Le but après est d'avoir des poules qui pondent plus d'œufs à l'année mais qui gardent une couleur verte et j'ai l'idée de les croiser avec un coq rhode island, des creame legbar ou même des sussex. Quelle race serait la mieux et comment procéder au mieux pour le croisement, les poules à favoriser pour la reproduction et quel coq sélectionner ?

Thanks
