    Soft shell egg full of blood

    Sorry to bring up an old thread but did you ever find out the issue? or did it keep happening? We just had the same and have 2 older (3 years old) and 4 youngsters that have laid for 6 weeks fine) but not sure which laid it yet. Thx Chris

    Was my chicken going to die

    I know this is pretty pointless but am really upset right now and just needed to ask though probably know the answer already. Our fave chicken was attacked by mine and a neighbors dogs earlier and cut open her stomach and under her wing. It was all a horrible blur and I was so close by that I...

    Sweet rooster needs a home - Southern California

    Hi, sorry not the reply you need but I have the same problem (in Santa Cruz Mountains) and no-one wants to take them. I posted in my local feed supply too but nothing. Until you find someone you could try putting him in a dog kennel at night, with some bedding and covering with a blanket...

    YOUNG AMERAUCANA ROOSTER - FREE - Santa Cruz mountains CA

    Actually I think that the egg laying slow down is, like you say, the seasons changing. One of them just went into full moltdown, overnight though the others aren't showing any signs of molting yet. He is chasing them all around but most of them pretty much beat him off. He did just let rip...

    California - Northern

    Sorry don't want to hijack this thread but someone suggested posting a link on a local thread about a free Rooster we have that we would love to go to a good (none oven) home. He's an Americana, lovely white and tan coloring and only 5 months old. Supply and feed guaranteed a pullet!!! We are...

    YOUNG AMERAUCANA ROOSTER - FREE - Santa Cruz mountains CA

    Hey guys, like so many of us, I bought two chicks from a feed and supply store, who guaranteed pullets but this one just started mounting all the ladies and they have stopped laying in protest, and is practicing his crow. We had named it Sprite, he is about 5 months old (May 5th) and pretty...

    Favorite Chicken Suddenly Attacking Me!

    Wonder if you are still viewing this thread! What happened, did she calm down, stop or get worse? I am in the exact same situ with my fave chicken that is, still, bottom of the pecking order. She was sweet and developed slower (still no comb at 1) and was our last to lay. She even had an...

    25 week old chick suddenly crossing legs when walking

    Thanks all, so I checked all their feet and no mites (just pretty even, nicely formed scales) but I cleaned them anyway! I then checked the skin where the feathers grow on their rumps, necks, backs and under their wings but nothing found so thats good news. I got some electrolytes today and...

    25 week old chick suddenly crossing legs when walking

    Thanks, treats are mainly pasta and corn (not as much bread) but I guess pasta has flour in it too. She was very hungry this morning but still walking bow legged and pointing both feet inward (making her waddle). Her balance is off and she has to right herself all the time. My sister in...

    25 week old chick suddenly crossing legs when walking

    Hi, I am almost dreading asking this question as looked up marek's in great detail but thought it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone has any other suggestions advice. My little poppy was just seemingly stuck down the side of a wood pile, head first. Nothing appeared to fall, its just like she...
