    Eye infection?

    Thank you both for taking the time to respond! There's no odor at all! I've been poring over all my Poultry books and all over the internet to try to be as thorough as possible. She doesn't have any of the traditional symptoms of any respiratory diseases, except the lump in her eye. She was...

    Eye infection?

    Thank you for replying so quickly! I can try to get a clearer photo tomorrow, but I'll attach one I took from the front a couple of hours ago for now. I wipe her eye before eye drops and it seems to be a little yellow. The lump seems to disappear when I try to move it up out of her conjuntiva...

    Eye infection?

    I have a 7 week old Breese x Ameraucana mix that is having some trouble with her one eye. I haven't noticed any weezing or any respiratory issues, her mouth is clear, and she's acting totally normal. It has looked like this for about 4 days. The yellowish lump is soft, not hard like pus usually...

    Favorelle Mix with 6 Toes?

    I think I've known in my heart for a couple weeks that little Patches is a dude and not a dudette 😂 I'm going to love him either way, but I'm still a little bummed that there will be no eggs from this one. Your babies are adorable, and I really appreciate your input 😊

    4 week old Favorelle mix gender?

    I know it's still early at 4 weeks, but I'm wondering if anyone has any insight (hope, lol) to offer about the gender of this chick. It's mom is a salmon favorelle, and it's dad is a brahma x ameraucana x RIR cross. I know that favorelle chicks are usually black when they're cockerels, but I...

    Favorelle Mix with 6 Toes?

    Hello Everyone! I have a bit of an odd question to ask, and Google hasn't been very helpful. I had a broody hatch out a few chicks on July 1st, and this one is a standout. It's parents are a salmon favorelle mom, and a brahma/RIR/americauna dad. I was excited to see the extra toe from the chicks...

    First time broody hen - how can I help?

    Unfortunately Peach abandoned ship 3 days in, in the middle of the night 😕 I did all that worrying for nothing. I still appreciate the advice I received! If nothing else, this was a learning experience

    First time broody hen - how can I help?

    It's not the best photo, but she was mid adjustment and I didn't want to bother her too much. ❤️ The white on the walls isn't mold, it's poultry dust from spring cleaning the coop a couple weeks ago

    First time broody hen - how can I help?

    Thank you so much! This is exactly the help I was hoping to get ❤️ The coop is completely inclosed with hardware cloth and is totally predator proof. I also have chick saver, rooster booster, and nutri-drench on hand so I'll definitely make sure she gets her nutrients. I'll post a photo next...

    First time broody hen - how can I help?

    Hello all! I've had chickens for about 5 years now, and over that time I've had a few of my girls go broody. My last rooster had a horrible temperament, so I never let my girls stay broody. My current rooster is a sweetheart, so we decided this year that if any of the hens go broody, we'd let...

    15 week old...chickens?

    Thank you! They're all so sweet too! I also got a Barred Rock named Roxanne yesterday, and I'm shocked by their temperaments...they're just as friendly as my golden comets!
