    Odd Egg Concern

    Hello everyone! I have a hen that laid an egg and it looks very concerning. I’ve had chickens for over 7 years and have never seen an egg that looks like this. I’m unsure if anyone know what could cause it to look like this? They eat premium food, eggshell, fresh fruit (occasionally) and receive...

    Chick w/ deformed feet

    Hi everyone! I recently purchased 4 chicks from Tractor Supply. I am not new to chickens, and unfortunately did not see an issue with a chick (named Dottie) until I got her home. Her feet seem to be deformed. While I have dealt with other chicken issues (bumble foot, attacks, broken legs...

    Injured Hen Phoebe

    Thank you so much for the information and guidance!! So far she is doing great and still inside until she’s fully healed. Fingers are crossed infection stays away so she can join the rest of them soon (in a calmer, less violent way of course!). I did introduce her with only one other chicken, so...

    Injured Hen Phoebe

    Help!

    Still waiting and there is no movement or chirping. I did the water test and about 25% (maybe a little more) of the egg was above water. Do you think we should still be patient? I have a feeling neither of them made it, unfortunately. I candled them and air pocket was almost half of the eggs...

    Help!

    We are on day 22 in the incubator, one chick hatched yesterday, and I don’t hear peeping or see movement from the other two eggs. The temperature has been consistent, but the humidity has gone up and down slightly through incubation, but I am worried they may not hatch. We started with ten eggs...

    Hens Swollen Eye

    It did look like she was pecked initially and she doesn’t have runny nose or ears, no other upper respiratory infection signs and the yellow discharge doesn’t seem to have an odor but the poor girl!

    Hens Swollen Eye

    Hi there, I have a hen named Edna that has a very swollen eye. It appeared to be injured about a month ago and then started to heal; all of this sudden her eye was swollen shut. I tried to clean it out with eye wash and noticed a yellow mass in the back corner or her eye. It seemed to be puss...
