my smallest hen is acting very sad. walking slowly, just hanging out by herself, either standing in the coop or standing in the dog kennel if the dog isn't in there.... shes very poofy, suddenly become very round all over, kind of looking like a basketball and just walking very slowly only when...

Both of my girls were sitting in the dogs kennel, because the sun went down so they just looked for some where comfortable, so I turned on the back yard light and one of them got out, but the other just stayed there for another 20 minutes. Then she stood up, so I helped nudge her out of there...

My girls both seem to have messy vents, or just poop on their butt feathers It's just a white substance stuck to one of my girls, and the other is just a tiny bit brown Nothing major But the one with the white substance also has a pale comb They're both healthy, scratching around, not lost any...

I find when my girls get bored, they get loud. I've given them scraps everyday, and now I'm giving them seed blocks designed for wild birds. I hope it's safe for them, the loooove jumping for it

I'm not sure if my isa browns have started Moulting or they have lice? There's been a very big drop in egg production and there is feathers everywhere but ive heard that can happen with lice too and I thought they completely stopped laying during Moulting Help?!

haven't gotten a single egg in three days! they usually both lay one a day 3 days ago i got ONE and it was very thin shelled figured out their feeder was empty filled it yesterday still no eggs today! hopefully there will be tomorrow...

I was going to let them out when I noticed only one of them was in the run So I openned the nest box thinking she might be in the coop on the roost for some reason but no she was in the nest box, she saw me, she dropped her egg. Didn't even make a sound.

today i noticed some 50% liquid droppings and yesterday i got a very thin shelled egg that cracked all over my hand when i squeezed it a little bit too hard and today i got a very VERY wrinkly one it could be only one of the two that are unwell or could be both?? unsure.

unsure of which forum to put this in but both my girls have just begun laying about a week or so ago so far i have gotten 16 eggs (is it weird to count) and i have noticed the one who was less developed has a very pale comb she is also the one who is physically bigger and darker than the other...

Just went out to the coop and in the nest box lay my first egg! Is their first egg safe to eat? Because everyone else seems to just throw them out/feed them back to the chickens, can I eat the first egg?

My pullets droppings have been a bit funny looking lately and I just had the honor of witnessing one of them doing one and I just spewed out, and I was liquid and yellow? They don't appear to be sick, they have been clucking in a distressed way but they're near being ready to lay an egg. I...

One of my girls comb is fully grown now the other ones not far behind and lately when I go to pick them up they squat for me! So so excited.

Before I noticed the chip all was well, no one was at the top and no one at the bottom, because there's only two. They were just two best buds. Now the slightly older (about a week older) one has a chip in her beak, the younger ones been picking on her, trying to stand on her, nipping at her...

She's 17 week old ISA brown and they've been known to lay at 18 weeks, is this squatting? Here she is with her feathers flowing in the wind... She just randomly sat down?

they're 15 weeks old, this is the younger one, the older one has a more developed comb but i've noticed they don't look like other peoples hens, they're quiet thin im feeding them grower mix at the moment

On of my girls, Roast, had a little chip in the very end of her beak for a while but I thought nothing of it, but today I noticed the end of it's now been chipped down to a straight edge! She doesn't seem bothered by it but is it something I need to worry about?

The very tips of one of my girls combs are yellow, the rest is red, is this frost bite?

So proud of my girls surviving last night, it was bitterly cold, EXTREMELY windy and raining all night and they survived! They tried to sleep on the roosts judging by the little poop that was under them but they must have migrated to the empty nest box because there was more poop in there. Oh...

I've got a very bad cold, I just want to make sure I'm not going to affect them if I'm handling them

I'm looking into getting my girls some oyster shell in a few short weeks, and I'm wondering on how to give it to them People have said mix it into their food, or put it in a bowl and they'll take what they need But I'm not sure if I should mix it in the food because I've heard that can be bad...
