    Lost my favorite chick

    I found her. I climbed our back fence and went into the field behind it and I found her remains (only feathers) and the nasty scat right next to it. It’s definitely a Fox. It climbed our almost 5ft fence, got her and climbed back over with her. I’m glad I know what we are dealing with now at...

    Lost my favorite chick

    For over a year we have allowed our chickens to free range in our large chain linked fenced backyard with no issues. Last night we came home to find nothing but the scattered feathers of two of our hens. Of course one of them was my most favorite hen, Cordelia, and I am heartbroken. She was the...

    Egg Yolk

    About 4 of them are about three years old. The others are almost a year old. I am not sure who is laying what. They stopped laying for a long while and have just recently started laying again. We aren't sure why they stopped. The only thing we noticed is one of our "pullets" turned out to be a...

    Egg Yolk

    Hi All!! I noticed this morning that some of our eggs have clear yolk and some have a white sac like thing attached. Can anyone tell me what that is?

    Can you eat it if it floats?

    Thanks for your reply!! The eggs had not been washed and have been in the fridge for about 12 weeks. They were taken promptly from the nesting boxes. Half of the carton sank and half floated. They just got pushed to the back of the fridge. If it's just density then I wondered if they were...

    Can you eat it if it floats?

    I hear that most people toss their eggs if they float. Will they make you sick if you eat them?

    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Not real bloody no. :-/ There was dark red mixed in with her pooh, and having no idea what else it could be just thought we would try something rather than nothing. Our bird that died just had extremely watery pooh. No other symptoms. It's all so confusing. I'll look over our other gal and...

    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Hey TN friends! We have a flock of sick chickens on our hands and need some advice. We lost one chicken already and another is showing signs of illness like the previous. We think it may be Coccidiosis so we are treating for that currently. NOW we have one who is having upper respiratory issues...

    Chicken suddenly sick(Is this bird flu??)

    Thanks for you help! We are treating for Coccidiosis because at this point we just aren't sure and want to rule that out if possible. Cordelia's pooh had some reddish color mixed in with it so it could be... We did feed them medicated chick feed for about three months though. There are no...

    Chicken suddenly sick(Is this bird flu??)

    I'm curious how things turned out with your flock. Something out of nowhere has hit ours and we have no idea what to do or look for. We had one pass away yesterday and today one of the others is starting down that path. :(

    Help!

    We lost a chicken yesterday and have no idea what from and now another is going down hill. What could be hurting my flock? Could it be Coccidiosis? The one that past away had watery poop. Like almost completely water and now this hens poop is becoming the same. Also, should we be concerned...

    Should I Be Concerned?

    I've been observing her and it looks like she is not well. There are no signs and symptoms other than she, like Lizzie did, is not acting herself, not pecking at the ground and just stands hovering under chairs and bushes. :( I'll move over to the illness forum from here. Thanks so much for...
