Hello! This past day my BO hen, Omelette, head swelled up. It is just her left side that is swelled. She was perfectly normal all day and I'm pretty sure she didn't go anywhere she normally doesn't. Even with her swollen head she is still eating, drinking, pooping, and functioning totally...

Hi!
I have 7 hens, two of each breed except for a Buff Orpington. She gets picked on, and kinda needs a buddy... Does anyone have a Buff Orpington hen that they are willing to sell or looking to rehome? I said $20 as a price I would be willing to spend, but not much higher... My hens are all...
Hello! I had a quick question about fencing for my chickens. Recently, they've been making their way up to the neighbor's bird feeder (it's on the the property line between my property and their's) and I talked to them, and they said they actually enjoyed the chickens! But then my hens started...
Lately, a lot of people have been leaving BYC. I'm not sure why because BYC has pretty much the best mods in the world. They delete spam quickly, host awesome contests, and interact with us! SO I think that we need to give them a little more appreciation... So this is a thread to appreciate...
Ok, first to start off, I hope that this is in the right section....
So lately my one EE (named Hazel) has been having runny poop. I have waited a bit to see if it has passed by, and it just hasn't passed. Her vent feathers have some on it, so they are getting kind of yucky, but she is...

Hi all.... Today I called my chickens in and I noticed that my one BR was running with her mouth wide open. Her name is Hedwig and she is 7 months old--yes she lays eggs. Anyways-- I didn't really pay too much attention to it, but then she just left her mouth open. After bit, her face looked a...
Hi all!! Towards the end of March I got two Easter Eggers. They were both day olds--both from the same hatch. One I named Hazel and one I named Pippy. So Hazel started laying beautiful green/blue color eggs around mid-September. I thought "Yay! Pippy will start laying as well!" Well here I am in...

Why hello there!!! I have 7 chickens-- three hens that are 3 years old, and four pullets that are four months old... I'm going to integrate them after I get back from vacation on the 16th. I really wanted to try the roost theory where you put the ones you're going to integrate on the roost late...
I have an EE (Hazel) and she has a different comb than her sister (Pippy). I have only had single combed chickens before these two... So I was wondering if you could help me with defining their combs....

Ok so I have a hen (Buttermilk) that's around three... I got her from someone who didn't want them anymore and I just assumed her and her sister (Bisquick) were New Hampshire Reds since they weren't as dark as Rhode Island Reds.... But this year I'm going to show Buttermilk and I need to know...
