    Slow growing White Rock

    I got a white rock chick the around March 20. She's almost a month now but still small. We got her barred rock friend on Valentine's Day. The Barred Rock is what I'd expect from a 2 month old. The White Rock almost a month and more the size and feathers I'd expect from a two week old. Think...

    Eye infection?

    My hen got better. I flushed and gooped her eye with Neosporin for two weeks. She fully recovered but took a month to restart laying. Figured I'd update in case anyone had this same problem later.

    Eye infection?

    Her belly feels squishy to me. I've gooped her eye. Her comb's reddening back up and standing taller today with some cucumbers and watermelon to munch on. Hopefully the swap to 60s from the 90s earlier this week won't bother her too much.

    Eye infection?

    We had some awful swamp fire fog when she was sneezing. I couldn't go outside without coughing. Maybe that brought on the sneezing? That triangle thing in the background is their coop. It's a triangular prism of hardware cloth with white roof sheets to keep the rain off. Any tricks to keep...

    Eye infection?

    The other eye looks totally normal. The other two chickens seem unaffected and aren't picking on her. They were raised together s since we got them. I don't know about terramycin but I can call the feed store in the morning and ask. No wounds in the mouth. She had gross sneezing the first two...

    Eye infection?

    One of my 7 month old chickens started keeping her eye closed. I've been flushing the eye with salt water. She's having trouble eating from the regular feeder (depth perception problems) so I've been feeding her lentils and oats because she'll actually eat that. I'm making sure she's eating and...

    Late Bloomers?

    I've got three pullets but only my Sapphire Gem started laying about a month ago. They'll be 6 months this week. The other two are a prairie bluebell and a Lavender Orpington. They seem healthy and I give them a higher protein feed (18%), water, and a clean coop. Should I be worried about...

    Pre-egg laying or concerning?

    She laid her first egg today! Under the water cooler instead of the nesting box, but it's a nice medium sized egg. 😁

    Pre-egg laying or concerning?

    Thanks for answering. She's developed some *extra* personality lately. Talks when she sees my face and keeps on until I reply and listen. I keep telling her I'll make it cooler if I figure out how to control the weather. She tries to follow me around the yard too which seems odd since I think...

    Pre-egg laying or concerning?

    I haven't seen her unbalanced or anything. Just a slower walk than her usual zooming like the road runner.

    Pre-egg laying or concerning?

    It's been very hot this summer but my pullets (Prairie Bluebell, Sapphire Gem, and Lavender Orpington) are surviving with frozen watermelon rinds and foot baths. They're 19 weeks and the Gem is squatting for me like I'm a rooster, waddles and comb turned full red, and her vent almost doubled in...

    Help! What IS this guy??

    My prairie bluebell's tail feathers look just like those... except gray and brown.

    I think this one qualifies. Sorry if it doesn't. I don't have many good ones (in focus with decent lighting) without people arms and legs

    Our super soft Merry Melody chirps along when you sing near her. She's a Lavender Orpington.

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    My Prairie Bluebell named Bluebell by my blue loving son. She was the only breed at the feed store laying blue eggs. She's a bit of a loony but I love her anyway.
