    Weird sack under chickens chin

    This chicken is older and I adopted her bc she was the only one left in her flock. She seems to have this big wobbly sack hanging where wattles would be. Does not appear to be wattles or crop. Old owner said they think it’s always been there. Any ideas? It’s black and has feathers

    The first egg was a normal, solid, egg. Around it was like a very soft shell. It wasn’t completely surrounding the egg, but I think they had been picking at it. It was more like a skin/ membrane around the egg.

    I think you’re right but in most cases it’s a full shell. I just hope it’s not harmful to her. I hope she’s just figuring it out.

    Baby feed - adult feed?

    Hi! My babies are about 8 weeks and I’m getting ready to integrate them with the biggies. I obviously can’t feed them two separate foods as I’m sure they’ll munch on whatever is around. How do I handle this? please help !!

    Babies and cold weather

    Hi! I live in Michigan, and have adopted four baby isa browns. They are just over a week old now. Temperatures will really start to drop drastically in October.

    My best egg layer quit!

    She seems to pick there when she’s stressed in the past. When I put no peck on it stops. I checked for mites and eggs under their wings and around their vents. I didn’t see anything, but will check their roost bar tonight. Thanks for the tip.
