This is Sybil. She lays blue eggs. I thought she might be an Easter Egger, but she doesn't have a beard...or whatever the pouch thingy is on EEs.

Ok, So I finally got a fence up so that my chickens can free range. They seem to have stopped laying or are really good at hiding eggs. I'm in Florida. Egg productions slows down a little with less light, but not like I'm seeing now. What can I do to get them to start laying again? I...

This is Cletus. (We thought she was a Cockrell at first) anyway, she has some dry fowl pox because of mosquitoes, but this white substance coming from her eye has me really worried. I just spotted it when I let the flock out to run this evening. It's like foam. What do I need to do? There...

someone tossed this poor guy from a car. The powder on him smells like it could be an insecticide. I bathed him, got as much off as I could. He is now in a cage outside, far away from my flock. He is rattling when he breathes. Not standing well. I think one leg maybe injured. I don't...

the pocket under the beak, throat area. I'm new to this breed and chickens in general

I bought a Poultry Block for my birds. I put in the run and they love it! Problem is, they are only eating it and not their regular feed. Am I supposed to remove it or is this ok? I have a bad back so I have to ask for help, but maybe I can put on a cart with wheels or something.

I'm fairly new to chickens and looking to learn as much as I can. I started with a Naked Neck hen that just showed up on my doorstep one night. I had been terrified of chickens until Henrietta came into my life. She was special and had belonged to a gentleman who lived a couple houses down...
