Hi everyone,
This morning, a couple meters away from the chicken coop, I saw a pigeon/dove that had its insides completely scooped out... It was very sad to see. I've never seen a bird attacked like this in my backyard before. We have feral cats, raccoons, skunks, and possums in the area (with...
Hi everybody... I have a black australorp hen around 8-9 months old. We keep her (and 2 other australorps) with some ISA Browns, and even after a few months of putting them together, the ISA Browns (older) tend to bully the australorps a lot.
Yesterday, we saw one of the australorp's eyes to...
Hi everybody. I have a 6-7 month old Black Australorp hen, she is really sweet and friendly with us and got sick suddenly. She gets bullied a lot by the other hens and a few days ago when we saw her a little weak, we brought her inside to eat and drink.
Right now she is inside in a cage. She...
Hey everyone!! We have an EE hen that's almost a year old now, and she began laying at around 6 months old.
A little under 2 months ago, she got sick and had a problem with an egg inside her--after a few Epsom salt baths she eventually passed the membrane/egg safely. We gave her the safeguard...
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice and how to deal with one of our hens. She hasn't laid in a couple days, I'd say maybe a little under a week now. There are no protrusions and she isn't limping or anything, so we don't really think she could be bound. We just noticed...
(warning for picture of chicken anus???)
One of our hens has been in a bit of a funk for the past few days (a little low energy, detached from the others) and we just dealt with it by giving her some electrolytes and keeping an eye on her. Today though she was completely off-- her walk is very...
One of our 9 month old EE hens(her name is Ducky) suddenly became incredibly lethargic. She isolated herself from the flock and wasn't drinking. Just this morning she laid her egg and sang her egg song and seemed perfectly fine, but a few hours later she started exhibiting these symptoms. We've...
We've had our pullet feel under the weather for the past 2-3 days(fluffed up, closing eyes a lot while standing), so we quarantined her in a little cage inside with electrolyte water. Her poops still looked pretty fine, and she was eating and drinking fairly well. This morning, though, she was...
The pictures might be a little low quality, apologies. We were told that she is a Leghorn-Delaware cross, and she just laid her first egg today(yay!) but it came out... an olive green color? Any thoughts?
(Brown egg on the left is one of her sisters')
This is our girl(?) Falcon. We raised her since she was a chick and we really hope that she's a hen.. She is an Easter Egger, 9 weeks. Could there possibly be saddle feathers growing? She has not crowed at all, but occasionally makes a kind of trilling noise.
For the past one or two days, our Leghorn x Delaware hen(roughly 5 months, has not started laying yet) was pretty isolated from the rest of the group and kept sleeping all fluffed up. This morning, we isolated her from her flock(4 other birds) in a little cage with pine shavings, her layer feed...
I have a beautiful 6 week old Easter Egger hen named Tiny. This morning she was perfectly healthy and active. About an hour ago, she started exhibiting some odd behavior: while the rest of the flock played around and ran, Tiny was standing upright and had her eyes closed. She was falling asleep...
I'm a girl from NYC. Me and my family are first time chicken owners. We currently have 6 EE hens(?hopefully haha) that are about 6 weeks old now. We also have 5 adults(not sure about age exactly, given to us from a family friend) with 2 of laying age. One of them is a gorgeous Ayam Cemani. I...
