    Clear Watery Poop / Puffing out Feathers

    I have a 2 year old Speckled Sussex that is pooping clear watery fluid and puffing out her feathers. She is still eating and drinking pretty much all of the time. However, she is noticeably lighter. I’ve seen a lot of posts asking what could be the cause of watery poop but I haven’t seen a...

    Hen laid first egg and now looks like she has a prolapsed vent

    I have a chicken that laid her first egg Yesterday. We collected the egg in the morning and she looked like she was doing great. However, later in the afternoon we saw that it looked like she had a severely prolapsed vent. But, from the time we first noticed it and the time we were able to...

    Large Soft Lump on Breast

    We’ve done olive oil and massaging but so far it hasn’t worked. We are going to keep trying. I always give them apple cider vinegar in their water and I will definitely keep doing that. We have isolated the chick now. Next try will be the upside down massage. Thanks for the advice!!!

    Large Soft Lump on Breast

    I definitely think I it is sour crop. We noticed it yesterday afternoon and the lump is still there today. Is there anything we can do? We’ve already tried massaging it.

    Large Soft Lump on Breast

    Help: I have a 8 week old leghorn chick that has developed a very large and very soft (almost jiggly) lump on her breast. At first I thought it was an impacted crop but this is soft and feels like it is filled with fluid. Has anyone seen this before and what do I do?

    2 Questions: Impacted Crop and Clipping Wings

    Can anyone tell me if an impacted crop will go away on its own? If not, is the best remedy to insert vegetable oil in the back of the chickens mouth? Also, how young is too young to clip wings? We have 7-8 week old chicks that we are starting to integrate with our two older chickens and the...

    Is Something Wrong With My Chickens?

    I checked the bones on each side of the vent and they are much too small to fit two fingers in between. Plus I could tell right away by the vent that they had never laid before. Thank you so much for your help!!

    Is Something Wrong With My Chickens?

    I will try that vent test right now. Their main diet is purina layena crumbles (I tried pellets but they didn’t seem to like them as much). We also give them some MannaPro Omega Egg Maker every day and I usually mix in some red pepper flakes and meal worms as a treat.

    Is Something Wrong With My Chickens?

    We were recently given two pullets (that we were told were around a year old) to start our backyard flock. We are new to raising chickens but we have wanted to and have researched It a lot for years. We thought getting chickens that were already a year old would mean that we would have eggs...
