    2 y/o EE stopped laying after eggbound

    Interesting - I've never heard of internal laying. I will do some research on this.

    2 y/o EE stopped laying after eggbound

    Hello All! She has still not started laying again, but her comb is still very red. I've always thought when they pass laying age, their combs become more pale. Today I noticed she was stopping mid-walk, and straining, while making a strained groan. Nothing came out but some clear fluid. Is it...

    2 y/o EE stopped laying after eggbound

    Hello! I have an EE/Ameraucana that I've had for just under 2 years. For the first year of laying, she was a great layer. Probably 6 eggs a week. About 8 months ago she became egg bound, and luckily was able to pass the egg after treatment and rest. She is perfectly happy & healthy but has never...

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Thank you for all of your help @Wyorp Rock @Debbie292d Unfortunately the little chick passed yesterday morning. She wasn't improving, and then I woke up to find she had passsed in the night unfortunately. The heartbreak of raising chicks for sure!

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    That's helpful to know as well. And this is what a suspect will happen. I'll give it my best for a few more days though!

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Thank you Debbie! That's helpful to know. I just hate for her to suffer - and I am having to administer her food & water so it isn't sustainable really. But if she may be able to recover in a week or so - that would be great!

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Here is the chick 2 days ago when I first got her. She has not improved or declined. When she lays down or sleeps, this behavior stops of course. But as long as she is awake, some version of this is going on, and she cannot walk in a straight line.

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Thank you!! I can provide a video and will do so shortly! Would love to hear if you feel like it looks like wry neck. This is a female German Bielefelder.

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    I have 3 day old baby chicks. Is it possible for wry neck to be present at day 1? Or would it likely be some other condition - like something neurological? The chick is presenting all wry neck symptoms pretty accurately (walks in circles, neck tilting and rolling and twitching, falling over...

    Lump on Chin

    Her lump has about doubled in size now, about the size of a blueberry. It is firm, not soft. Her comb has more color in it nowadays, but she is still limping and has not laid any eggs still. The SLM they had are much better, but still working on that. No new symptoms however. Any new guesses on...

    Lump on Chin

    Is this a virus that sticks around? In other words, should I refrain from getting new chickens or chicks on the property until these birds pass?

    Lump on Chin

    Thank you! What else should I be looking out for if it is Leukosis? I wouldn't say the lump is rock hard, but it is definitely firm.

    Lump on Chin

    I will keep an eye on it and document any size change. She has been molting over the past few weeks. She seems to be eating and drinking just fine, but she is hobbling around a bit. I just found out a few days ago my 3 chickens have scaly leg mites, so they are being treated for that. I am...

    Lump on Chin

    The color is definitely new, within the past couple weeks. The inside of her beak looks normal, and there is no bad odor
