    Hen has been sick x 2 days. No mites. No egg production. Not too lethargic. Still eats a bit of mash and water. Used some electrolytes and apple cider vinegar. Now these white spots on one side of her comb. Any insight is much appreciated. Brad

    Naming chickens

    I use bands or loose zip ties. Spending time with the flock and noticing subtle changes in feather patterns, temperament, how they act, how they walk, squawk, you may find you won't need bands or zip ties.

    failure to thrive or just small?

    I have a Cinnamon Queen that is a failure to thrive and is 5-6 weeks old. Compared to my other 14 5-6 week old chicks, she is tiny, wobbles like a drunk person. I believe she might have some type of neurological disorder. Tell me what y’all think. She’s the one on the right

    Vent Prolapse

    Could try some hydrocortisone and apply around prolapsed portion. This may help reduce the swelling and allow the vent to go back in. Good luck...
