    Hen might be allergic?

    So this is probably the weirdest question I have never asked; but can a chicken be allergic to a certain food? Let me explain why I am asking. So, I have a hen, she has been the most reliable chicken I have ever own. I gave them a cauliflower head that went a little pass on the date but it was...

    Rooster with a possible Outer Ear Infection

    The only thing I am scared about with doing it is that I push the Neosporin to far into his ear.

    Rooster with a possible Outer Ear Infection

    I have heard that if there are mites, you should see small black dots within the "wax" which I did not see. I am leaning more towards virus. How long do you think I should keep this treatment up for?

    Rooster with a possible Outer Ear Infection

    So I have a rooster, that just yesterday night 1/6/2021 when I was putting them up had something yellow on his ear features. I did not think much about it as it might be something that he picked up off of the ground. I said to myself that I would check on it in the morning if it had not...

    Hen Making Moaning Noise

    I will keep a eye on her. She acts fine afterwards with eating and drinking. She was dirt bathing before laying, which might of started the problem. It gets bad when she was going up for bed, but when I went to go check on her she was roosting and acted like I was bothering her with waking her up.

    Hen Making Moaning Noise

    I have a hen that this is her second time making this moaning noise when she is about to lay. I thought it was just her pushing an large egg out, as she is not even a year yet. I also thought it was because she wanted to lay in a hen box that someone else was laying. I hear her do it again when...

    My rooster "yamning"

    I just noticed this a couple minutes ago that my rooster was "yawning". He did not act bother by it at all; because right after he went to do the rooster thing to one of my hens. When I went back out there he crowed 3 times.. Some people are saying he was rearranging his crop. I do not know how...

    Never had a Broody Hen Before

    So I have never really had a broody hen before (been raising chickens for almost 5 years now). This is my first time actually thinking I might actually have a hen that is broody. The reason I am saying this is because not even a couple of days ago I had a hen that started to stay in one of my...

    Hens Comb Looking Weird This Morning

    Sadly late this afternoon my lovely hen (the one in question) passed away. I am assuming that she passed away (as I could not do anything else in the timeframe before she passed away) from old age as she was 4 years old and lived a very happy and enjoyable life. Thank you for the help that I...

    Hens Comb Looking Weird This Morning

    They both had a hard time moving around and where not as active as all the other little chicks. They did not eat much feed and water; and would stand together under the heat lamp all the time. While everyone else was moving around and talking like crazy. They also would not want to be help and...

    Hens Comb Looking Weird This Morning

    Her comb was little red showing at the portion by her beak. Her crop was empty and she was eating feed from what dropped out of my bucket when I was filling up their feeder. Her sister is extremely active and is running around this morning and very talkative to me. She does not have to much fat...

    Hens Comb Looking Weird This Morning

    I will keep that in mind when I give them oatmeal from now on. I keep baby grit (from my older gals in a lower bowl that I screwed into a support beam) and I have grit and oysters into one small bowl inside my coop and I have a larger on outside my coop. My rooster know which ones he needs and...

    Hens Comb Looking Weird This Morning

    I will keep a close eye on her; her sister and her are my oldest hens that I have had, so I am just proud of how old they have gotten. I have a really high feed for them and I give out oatmeal with the feed that she loves. I do not know which poop is hers or one of my other chickens. I do keep a...
