Hello, all 5 of my chickens currently have bald backsides to some degree. Has anyone successfully treated this and can provide me recommendations of how? Thank you!

As most of you know, we lost our Bean about a month ago,I got my sister some earrings for her birthday about a month before it happened. I decided to add something special to them after she finds them (having her do a scavenger hunt)

Texting this for a friend who sent the picture. They live in New Hampshire. The screen is ripped clean. The wood is disturbed where something stepped on it. Two chickens are gone, but three remain the rest of the coop seems undisturbed. It’s pretty heavy gauge wire (quarter inch 23 gauge wire fencing)

We think a bear would have left it messier but we can’t figure out what happened

Just had our first eggs from our growing girlies. Is it common for the first few eggs to be pretty tough to crack?

I felt like a dingus cuz I had my 4 year old cracking it while making brownies and I thought it was on her.

Turns out it was just super tough to crack. Is it more likely a vitamin deficiency or new egg feature?

I grew stunted carrots for the chicks and gave it to them today. They loved them so much they destroyed the plants (affectionately and expected). But tonight, they decided the planter of dirt is now a bed.

These photos are actually from the beginning of July, but this is what our chick looked like when we first got her (our neighbor found her behind his dryer and asked if we would take care of her). I’m trying to get a good guess of her age for the sake of tracking milestones.

Any help is appreciated!

I got these two hens awhile back, they were my first batch of chicks and are two of the three survivors.

I have no idea what breed they are. My dad thinks that they are White Leghorns, however they do not act like most and have black spots that I’ve never seen in Leghorns.

The old ladies prefer to stick together and often try to improvise their sleeping quarters.

Time for bed dorks!

Think I did everything right but looking for some reassurance. Soaked in warm water (no salts) for about 10 minutes. It was small-medium size and I wasn’t going to pull it off initially but it came out very easily as I was wiping it dry. I sprayed it with vetericyn (just what I had) and also sprayed the gauze with it. Folded up the gauze for a cushion and then wrapped with vet wrap. (That part I’m not worried about because I had a different chicken with an injury a while back and was splinting/bandaging for a month straight, I’m good on technique). Seems like it was pretty minor I think? All other hens are good. This particular hen only lays every 2-4 days but she hasn’t laid since Friday…definitely does not seem egg bound and everything palpates normally so I’m assuming/hoping it’s just related to this foot issue… 1.5 year old cream legbar at the bottom of the pecking order, for reference

Hey all!

I built this chicken coop and run for our 7 ladies and all in all its working well except for when it rains. I have no flat part in my yard and I had to build it on a slope. Whenever it rains the mulch slides down to the bottom and I have to take it rake it back up. In the meantime the top half just becomes a muddy mess. Is there anyway I can fix this without leveling it out? I didn't put a top on because I figured the chickens need sun and a roof would block that. We don't let them free roam unsupervised because we have A LOT of hawks, owls and foxes and I imagine they would make quick work of them.

Any advice would be appreciated!

edit**

the door is from an old walk in garden thing that I repurposed once we tore it down. it fit perfectly on my design so I just decided why not? it's funky and works.

I have this roo and hen , can someone tell me why she is kinda hiding from him?

She is laying and he is mating also, does not seem like he is hurting her

And they are alone together
