Hi all! This is Missy and she’s around 2 years old. She seems to have almost gotten as big as her male! I’ve held her up and palpated her stomach it doesn’t feel tight or overly bloated at all it’s just nice and soft, I cannot feel an egg. I was just wondering if anyone thinks it’s just a fat...

Hi everyone, I got home from work today to find this weird substance on one of my girls’ eggs. It’s the colour of yolk but more transparent but it has the consistency of the bit that surrounds the yolk when you crack it (don’t know the name of that!). It’s not very liquidy and sticks to the egg...

I just found my approximately 22 week old Swedish flower died. Around 12pm I let them out the coop, she was laying on the coop floor like she was trying to lay an egg. She was alert and looking at me. This chickens are still young and it isn’t usually to find eggs on the floor instead of the...

Hi everyone, I have a bunch of chickens ranging from 8 weeks to about 16 weeks. Some are cross breeds so getting an accurate breed is nearly impossible, the others that we know are purebred. I’m just wondering what your opinions of the sex of these chickens are and breeds if you had to give...

okay so i have a 2 year old splash cochin and yesterday i was holding her and i noticed something weird in her mouth? it could be normal but its something ive never seen before so i just wanted to come on here and see if anyone knew what it could be, because it looks kinda sharp and out of...

Sorry it's long. If you don't want to read, here's the very short version: 1 chicken dead with no known cause, 1 missing. Some of the live chickens and ducks have saliva on them but no injuries or broken bones. What happened? The full version: Last night, my fiance woke me up at 4:30am and...

Hello, I need any sort of help figuring out what could be wrong with my chicken. Unfortunately, a vet is not an option for me, but I wish you do anything I can to help this chicken survive 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)...

I got three chicks to add to my flock and got two from an assorted rare breed brooder so I have an idea what they might be but still have no clue which one they exactly are. Does anyone have any idea from the list? I was able to figure out a little bit on my own through process of elimination...

So yesterday I found my hen fluffy limping, I checked her foot and I wrapped it a bit. Today I gave her an Epson salt soak, and then I decided to give her a little bath too. Well I couldn't find a Bumble and so I'm looking for help with that buttt, when I was drying her I found Mites or lice I'm...

So this morning when I was refilling the food bin for my ladies, I noticed my black RIR hen, about a year.5 old or so, had a weird thing going on with her neck feathers. I’m not sure how to search for the issue so I’m including a photo in my post to hopefully get to the bottom of it. None of my...

So my sister and I bought three new chickens from some people nearby today. They had a LOT of different chickens and breeds in their small barn (really a shed), and couldn't really tell us what was what. We know that one chicken is a Silkie (though we're not sure boy or girl), and we can't ID...

Yesterday, I noticed quite a bit of blackness on my roosters comb. I just got around to snapping a picture, and it seems to have cleared up a lot. Any idea of what this is? Just dried blood or something more serious?

Hi, so I’ve noticed my buff Orpington has been having some feather loss. Thought she was molting for awhile. Then I realized it had been too long and checked her out. Thought it was mites. So we scooped the coop, cleaned every inch and pressure washed the inside and put all fresh hay in nest...

So a couple weeks ago my 4 year old turkey, Brittany, had foam in the corner of his eyes and without any other symptoms the vet recommended just keeping an eye on him. I took him in to the vet when he started stumbling, spinning in a circle and flipped on to his back once, the vet gave him...

So I recently caught a chick whom I named Ronnie. I don’t know what breed “it” is or sex. I had to clip it’s wings so it wouldn’t fly out of the brooder. Please let me know what y’all think. Also I am getting a Cochin chick around the same age to go with this one :)

So recently I’ve purchased two goslings at my nearest Atwoods probably a week or so ago on the same day . The employees did not specify or know how old they were but looked to be a few days I assume. I bought a African Chinese swan and a regular white Chinese swan goose. A few days went by and...

Hello all, My parents have a backyard chicken coop with 8 chickens. 3 days ago, I noticed one speckled sussex not in the henhouse with the others. I picked her up and placed her on her stick with the other chickens in her normal spot, because the weather at night has been between 10 and 20...

3 months old. I honestly have no idea what this is, but I had got a group of salmon faverolles and one turned into this, so unless its a breed that just got in the wrong bin, its a faverolle Rooster right? It looks like a dark brahma too I think...

One of our 4 month old Leghorn pullets seems to have something hanging out of her vent. She seems fine, clear eyes, active, pooping fine, and eating and drinking enough; but what we thought was pasty butt looks like something else. We soaked her and tried to use a toothbrush to massage it out...
