    Okay y’all, here are the photos of the chicken. Look at the pictures before reading the back story!! Alright, so We bought this mysterious one from TSC in April of 2019. So almost 2 years ago. Sold as a California White pullet. Grew up as a pullet, no signs of rooster. It was actually the...

    Silkie listless all of a sudden

    She is doing alright. A bit more alert but still kind of out of it. We think it’s possibly coccidiosis because her poop had some red in it. Have dosed her with Corid and have some chicken formula we’re feeding her. She’s not eating or drinking herself yet so we are syringe feeding so far...

    Shiny eggs?

    Anyone know why one of my girls lays these eggs with a bit of a sheen to them? We think they’re pretty! But I hope it’s not a negative indicator. Egg on the right in pic. The egg on the left is what everyone else’s looks like. Thanks!

    Why does my hen stick her whole head in the water bowl?

    I thought of this too! She did it before it started to get really hot, but it still could be why. Oh well. I’ll let her do her thing :lol:

    Chick keeps sneezing? Allergies?

    Hi everyone! I have this about 7 week old satin silkie. The sweetest little boy ever! (dna sexed) He sneezes a LOT when he’s outside (not so much inside). We have 6 babies in his group, and we take them outside for some adventures while we’re getting their coop and run together. Every time he’s...

    Why does my hen stick her whole head in the water bowl?

    Okay y’all, this is the only chicken I have do this. Everyone else drinks water normally. This one, she dunks like her whole head in the water. Everytime!! It’s pretty funny honestly. Can anyone explain why?? We don’t have ducks and have never had them! Maybe she identifies as a duck? :p I wish...

    We finally got our blue/green eggs and I agree with you. They are beautiful but really the personality and level of production is more important. Luckily our Easter Egger has been producing her little eggs quite well and she’s a total sweetheart :love. I want an Orpington so bad! What sweet...

    Hen lethargic, fluffed feathers, poop very green (poop pic warning)

    Thank you so much. We were wondering if it was related to her reproductive system, but since she’s gone so long without issue we figured it’s gastrointestinal related. We are keeping her comfortable and isolated. Hopefully things will turn out and nothing spread to the rest of our ladies :fl
