My hen was lethargic, had swollen eyes and discharge coming from her nares. Isolated and treated with tylan, probiotics, oregano oil, vetrx. Never had rales, or sneezed, no mites, not egg bound, no ascites. She's recovered from most symptoms, but is still more lethargic than she should be...

Last summer I purchased 3 olive egger chicks, unfortunately the two hens were killed by a raccoon before they started to lay so I never saw their eggs. My OE roo survived and is now my dominant rooster fertilizing all my hens. He is a mix between a welsummer hen and whiting true blue rooster. I...

I was told this 10 Wk old pullet was a Dominique, but her legs are feathered and she looks barred and laced! She had such a unique pattern I took her anyway- any thoughts?

15 week old "guaranteed" hen, no crowing, but I'm Thinking they were wrong and my she is actually a he! I'm including head shots and shots of any possible rear saddle feathers....Thoughts? Also- he started sitting back on his legs a couple of days ago- thoughts on that?

My slowwwww feathering Wyandotte seems to have an unusual green sheen to her feathers and elongated lacing pattern. Anyone have one like her or have seen it before? The green sheen doesn't show quite as vibrant in pictures. It you'll get the idea!

I am new to ducklings! I have two ducklings (welsh harlequin and blue Swedish) arriving this week. I have 12 chickens that were occupying the brooder, ten have moved outdoors full time and are doing fine. The issue is, my barred rock and ayam cemani chicks have been slower to develop and feather...

Does this breed typically develop slower than others? I have an Ayam Cemani chick that was hatched July 2 and she's much smaller and slower to feather than the other chicks I have! She's otherwise doing well as far as behavior, eating and drinking. Does anyone have any experience they can share...

I know that eggs and day old chicks are frequently shipped through the mail. Does anyone have any experience shipping fully grown and mature hens. We are moving from Florida to Colorado and are taking our backyard girls with us. However, ideally I'd like to ship them ahead of time to a receiving...

Last fall I added two cream leg bar hens to my flock, they were about 4-5 months old- we went through the winter and one has fully matured and being laying regularly for me. My second one has been slow to develop, is smaller in size, her comb finally turned red and got larger a couple of months...

I have three laying hens (less than a year), displaying no symptoms of illness. I am currently quarantining two new birds to add to the flock (two weeks in) that also appear healthy so far. My question is- is worming done routinely or prophylactically? I've never wormed the other birds, but this...

I have a question, my easter egger has (overnight) gone from laying rich chocolatey brown eggs to lighter olive brownish eggs! Is this normal? Is it permanent? She lays 6 eggs a week, and it literally happened overnight! The egg to the left in the first picture is what she's laid the past two...

Hi! I'm new to backyard chickens (birds and site both) and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jessi, I have a small flock of 3 easter eggers (well, out of easter egger hens and probably a marans rooster) that are 5-6 months old and laying beautiful delicious eggs almost daily. I am just...
