Anyone have any idea what this could be on the top of my chickens comb or how I could treat it? It looks like bumble foot? Should I just spray an antibiotic ointment on it?

One of my chickens, and EE who is 4 years old, was acting sick with her tail down and wings out and ended up laying a soft shelled egg. She’s done this in the past and we’ve seen a vet about it multiple times. Usually after she passes it, she’s totally fine though. This time though she’s now...

So strange! She seemed to healthy but I guess you never really know. Here’s her and our little rooster who was so in love with her

Thanks everyone for your responses. I want to believe it’s her heart and my other girls aren’t at risk and luckily she went peacefully and quick. Im really hoping it’s not gape worm. I deworm them regularly and she hasn’t been making any odd gaping motions with her beak. I guess I’ll just deworm...

Hi everyone. I’m really sad to say but one of my laddies just dropped dead seemingly out of now where. She was almost 2 years old and a Brahma. She was acting completely normal today. Eating,drinking, pooping like normal. She’s been laying normal eggs but we didn’t get one from her today. Just...

Thank you thank you! I will give my products a try and see how she does

A little... expect the noise wasn’t when she was just breathing. It was more in a barking cough that had that rasp to it. When she would stop and breathe normal she was silent but had her beak open

One of my chickens just finished laying and went to go eat some food and all of a sudden started making this loud honky sneezing coughing like sound that lasted for a couple minutes. I’m not sure if she was choking or coughing? After a few minutes she just stopped and drank some water. Otherwise...

We were also planning to move to Oregon city or Milwaukie area but it still seems like if you don’t live on a farm or huge patch of land they still won’t allow roosters..

Hey everyone! So I am relocating to an area around Portland, OR. Still looking for a house so I’m open to any are easily commutable to portland for work. The issue I’m running into is a have a serama rooster that I am very attached too but pretty much everyone I’m seeing doesn’t allow roosters...

Thanks for the advice everyone. We were able to get her into the vet and she was able to lay an egg with no shell. They looked inside her vent and no foreign bodies were found, just inflammation. We’re gonna try anti-inflammatories and antibiotics twice a day for a week and see how she does...

Please help!! I have an almost 2 year old EE that’s never had egg issues before that just started laying again after taking her winter break and her 3 eggs have had no shell on them and seem to break inside of her! Right now she’s out back trying to lay and liquid is coming out. A couple days...

Well she’s been roosting on the one right in front of the nesting boxes with her sister but now she won’t sleep with her sister and the big girls won’t let her roost with them so she’s decided the nesting box is best for her lol

I have two separate roosts and 7 chickens including the rooster. And yes she is a silkie in the nesting box. Things today have been better though since I started turning the mean ones over on their side every time they bite or are aggressive. So hopefully this was all just temporary!

Yes the one in the nesting box is a silkie. I would love a barred rock rooster but where I live we’re not even supposed to have any roosters so my little Serama rooster is even pushing my luck unfortunately lol so what I have been trying lately is every time I see her peck or chase her I grab...

This is my set up. I have two roost on either side. Each the same height. The little one of the two has decided it’s easier to start sleeping in the nesting boxes so I guess I’ll let her for now.

I was thinking of trying something like this. Thank you!

Yeah I wouldn’t have an issue with it but the older girls don’t really want her roosting with them either unfortunately. I find her below the roost sleeping in the shavings in the morning. I have some mean girls I guess lol

I have two roost in their coop. One was for my original flock and the other the two little ones would use. But now the one that is being mean won’t let anyone roost next to her so the other is having to sleep with the big girls so it’s been a disaster lol I need to make a third roost I guess ...

I already have a rooster, he doesn’t seem to be helping lol he screams when they attack each other but doesn’t really do anything else lol
