She’s a layer and has been laying for nearly a week now. She eats well and drinks well. She has snacks like tomatoes mixed with eggs once almost daily, but often a few times everyday. She eats Manna Pro Duck Layer Pellets everyday as her main feed with calcium being high. She’s usually quite...

We're having our house's exterior painted. I get a knock at the door a little bit ago, and it's the painter. He says, "I'm so sorry but one of your chickens got paint on her!" I walk out and sure enough, Miss Ella was there, covered in paint, with the other hens trying to peck the paint off her...

Ok, so this is my first time incubating and I bought a dozen eggs from a local chicken farmer. Over the course of the incubation we have had to throw out 6 of them, and the ones left should be hatching any day now. One of them had this chunky looking yellow/brown stuff on the outside, but there...

I have a 2 week old RIR. She is having a hard time pooping, she squawks and makes noise while going, you can see her struggling to push it out. The poo seems to stick out for a second before dropping off. She doesn't have pasty butt, but a bit of poo residue chalks up below her vent. About once...
