    Blind chicken

    Hi all, Last night a friend of a friend dropped off a 2 year old hen because she was being bullied by her flock. She appears to be a NH Red. They mentioned that she might have some vision problems and used to be a house chicken. Upon further inspection, I do believe that she is completely blind...

    Relentless raccoon

    Hadn’t even thought about babies! I’ll keep that in mind in case it is the mother

    Relentless raccoon

    Hi all, We have a camera in our backyard to monitor our chicken coop. For about a month now, the same raccoon has been visiting our coop almost every single night. I’ve tried yelling at it, throwing things (missed), installing motion lights.... it’s determined. It hasn’t figured out how to...

    Lethargic Hen

    She started improving but a few days later she passed away in my arms. Thank you for your reply.

    Lethargic Hen

    Update: I gave her some food mashed with water, pedialyte, and applesauce. I tried to feed her a scrambled egg but she wasn’t interested. She ate a bit (which is great) but now she’s back to being a huddled ball. Her poop is still liquid

    Lethargic Hen

    Hello again, I started cleaning her coop to look for clues and there were maggots in her poop (it’s black fly season). I checked her all over and saw no signs of any on her, but I soaked her in warm water with some Dawn dish soap and then used a hairdryer to fluff her back up just to be...

    4.5 Week EE - pullet or cockerel? Suspected cockerel

    I wouldn’t be concerned about the red spot. One of my chickens got that when she was pecking at the grass through the fence

    Lethargic Hen

    Hi everyone, I have a 3 year old Rhode Island Red. She has just started her spring molt. A little backstory: her name is Poppy and she has been living separated from the flock (4 others) for about a year and a half. We’ve tried reintroducing her many times but it always ends in disaster. We...

    Does my hen have Mareks?

    Thank you all for your fast responses! I was very concerned and anxious so it’s good to hear that it is most likely just occular, we will keep a close eye on her to watch for any new symptoms. That website looks very interesting @FlyingNunFarm, thank you for sharing!

    Does my hen have Mareks?

    Hi everyone, I just noticed that my 2-year-old Easter Egger hen has a constricted pupil. I am very concerned that she may have Mareks. I just called the feed store that we got her from 2 years ago and was sad to hear that they don’t vaccinate against Mareks. She lives in a small flock with...

    Lonely chicken

    Thank you all for your reply! We have a friend with about 14 chickens so we are going to play match-maker and see if she likes the one we pick! I definitely think she needs a friend. Thank you all again!

    Feather and weight problems

    Thank you for your reply! I think she is a standard, and she looks just like my neighbors RIR, just without all the feathers and very skinny. She lays large eggs almost every day (~60g) but has recently started eating them even though her diet hasn’t changed. I think she is getting pretty...

    Lonely chicken

    Hi everybody, I have an almost two-year-old RIR named Poppy who has been separated from her flock since about November due to bullying. Her best friend died about two months ago who she’d been raised with from day 2. The other four chickens I have will try to fight her through the fence whenever...

    Feather and weight problems

    Hi everybody, I have a almost two-year-old Rhode Island Red hen (her name is Poppy:)). She started getting bullied about a year ago, and we removed her from the flock about September/November because it started to get pretty bad and she was missing most of her feathers. We removed her from the...
