My poor old Wyandotte is almost in perfect health, she's just started laying again after molting (soooo fluffy) and she's looking healthier than ever, except for one exception. When I pick her up and listen to her breath, she has a slight wheeze when she breathes out and gurgling sound when she...

Just cleaned out the coop, layed down sand in the run but I'm short of hay (my usual nesting material), just wondering if anyone has any ideas on using sand instead. Any advise is welcomed, thanks all

Hello people, Pepper my 3 year old wyandotte layed an egg that contained blood or some other kind of red substance (????) I checked her all over when we discovered it. We have a lot of egg's so it would've been layed about a week before we cracked it open (to make an omlete) and she showed no...

I was just reading up about nutrition deficiency and was wondering, can I just dissolve some vitamin tablets into their water every now and then? I was just wondering in case it might "hurt" them.

I recently gave my little chicken coop (2 hens) a big clean. I tried to find some infomation on how to clean a coop but couldn't find much so I hope this helps someone else. The "stuff" I used. A dry paint brush to dust the walls (good for getting into small cracks) A small wet towel (for...

I live in the beautiful wet tropics of North Queensland Australia. Our native fauna include; goannas, snakes(big ones), eagles/hawks and CHICKENS! The only animal I'm annoyed with however is those bloody Turtle Doves! They were pretty cool at first, there was a male and a female that would come...

Hey guys! Recently I went on holiday for two nights and came home to a hen with sour crop. We have three beautiful girls and I hope they stay three. My Isa Brown was looking good when we left but when I came home she was all lethargic and didn't do much moving. She was in perfect health when we...

I am the proud owner of a small three girl flock however recently they've been eating a little bit more than what I feel is healthy. I fill their milk-bottle feeder to about 4cm high (layers mash) and allow them access to it all day but recently when I've been comming home, I've realised that...

Here are some pics of a wyandotte I've had for some years now. She has an extremely large crown and wattles with mottled grey/blue feathering. I'm pretty sure she's been crossed with some other breed but I'm just not sure. She lays pale, white eggs.
