It tends to be really difficult to tell if a chicken is a Hen or a Rooster. Most people can't tell the sex until they crow or grow large tail feathers.

So pretty much just keep a close eye on them and see if they get worse? They all seem to be eating and drinking normally.

Also now that I'm paying closer attention there have been a lot of sneezes from different hens and they are flicking their heads a lot.

She is about the same. I just noticed that I forgot to mention she she been breathing through her mouth which none of my other chickens aren't doing.

Thank you! Do you have any advice for what medicine I should use?

I agree with you as far as 'natural remedies' go. I have tried these all before and they haven't done a thing. There are no other symptoms, besides the sneezing, swollen nostrils, and dizziness, do you have any other ideas?:fl

My Americana, Pepper, had been sneezing a lot, every two or three minutes. Nothing else seems to be wrong although her nostrils did seem a little small. I put some VetRx on her nostrils and in her mouth and when I let her down she seemed very dizzy but after a few minutes got over it. Here are...

Hi I used to keep my chicken feeders in the run. We recently had a racoon break into our run (who saw and wanted some of the chicken food) luckily all the chickens were fine and we have since trapped him and let him go into another woods away from the coop. Naturally, since we don't want...

So i've decided to worm my chickens for the first time and I went to tractor supply and I got Ivermectin. I'm now wondering if I should even use it. I've heard valbazen will treat all the worms my chickens could have or is there another wormer I could use with ivermectin to get rid of all the...

So i've decided to worm my chickens for the first time and I went to tractor supply to get a wormer. I wanted to get Valbazen because apparently it kills all the worms chickens can get. I didn't find it so I got Ivermectin instead. I'm now wondering if I should worm with ivermectin first, get...

Sorry for the poor photo quality but any idea? Thanks!

Wow that was fast thanks!!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what breed my rooster is? I'm not sure if he is a mix or a purebred but let me know what you think.[/IMG]

I am not sure which chicken this is from but probably a younger one. I haven't noticed any signs of illness either.

I found this poop in the coop today and I am not sure what the redish/white part is. Thank you in advance!

Hi I was wondering what breed is my Chicken. I know she is a girl, and I was also wondering if its normal to have feathers on her legs? Thanks!

Thank you!! Do you have any ideas on how I could clean out the small abscess on her ear? Using what kind of tool? Also she has these holes in exactly the same spot on both sides of her head. Do you think its just a coincidence? or she has deformed ears?? I have no idea . . .

Thank you so much!!! Checkers probably would have died if you hadn't help me out!! I was wondering if the abscess on her right ear is her ear? Because she has one just like it on the other side (I can give you a picture of that if you want) and if it is another abscess will the antibiotics work...

Thank you for the speedy reply!!! I don't think it is respiratory or a peck wound because its not very close to her nose and there wasn't any blood on her skin when I discovered the abscess. I'm new at keeping chickens so please keep asking as many questions as you want. These pictures are...

Hi a few weeks ago I noticed a huge bump on my Barred Rocks head. I looked just like it was bumble foot (It had a scab/piece of dirt on it, was swelled etc.) but just not on her foot. Before this I had read quite a lot about bumble foot and how you can remove it at home. So I tried this and in...
