I have a chicken about 2 years old who was still laying eggs and eating who just died. She has a history of repeated impacted and sour crop. I took her to the vet about a month ago for the sour crop and the vet mentioned that she might have some disease or deformity that could cause her to die...

I have a chicken with her second case of sour crop. It's bad. When I pick her up it flows out. Last time I vomited her. It I was very concerned about aspiration. But when the sour is just flowing out regardless is it better to vomit her? Can she separate because it's flowing anyway? I'm at a...

One of my 2 year old EE hasn't been acting like she feels 100% for a few days. I've seen her eat and drink but her croup never feels full. She's quiet and a withdrawn. She is also one of the bottom of the flock so I don't know that may be part of her withdraw. Anyway my daughter picked her up to...

I've read and I've read and I've read and I just don't know what to do and need someone to give me some advise. One of my EE's has been lethargic, tired, and over all miserable throughout today. I noticed when I'd go to pick her up she would drool and gurgle. So I brought her it and green...

3 of my 9 hens have these spots. Not a lot of them but I'm very concerned. We have had a lot of freezing nights but I feel their coop is insulated well and small enough they shouldn't be getting frost bite. I don't know what to do. Please help.

So I have a friend who is moving to Germany and i offered to take in 4 of her hens. They are about 20 mths old. I have 5 hens already so I slowly introduced the flocks. My concern is one of the EE has a weird white patch on her comb. My friend said she has had it a long time and it had to do...

Hi. I'm fairly new to chicken ownership. I bought my chicks on Easter and have been learning the ropes since. I have 5 pullets. One of my chicks turned out to be a cockrell so I found him a new home. My ladies are free range on a half acre. They have the coop which I lock them into at night...

So My 6 Easter chicks are now 15 weeks old. And one of my EE is most definitely a rooster. Started crowing yesterday. I have 3 EE 2 RI reds and 1 astrolop. I'm debating on keeping him or finding him a suitable home. I'm a first timer, never been around chickens before but I absolutely love it so...

I bought her 13 weeks ago as a baby chick along with 2 others that looked a lot like her. Told they were ameracaunas. But over time she looks completely different! She is now black and white and the others are red and brown. At first I just thought she must be a different breed but now I'm...
