    No Emergency - Wondering What She Has?

    The pictures didn't load for some reason on my end, posting pictures. Also, we've tried deworming in chicken dosages with goat dewormer.

    No Emergency - Wondering What She Has?

    What do you think this is? This little lady (pullet, ~9 months) hasn't been laying frequently recently, while everyone else has been frequent. Over the course of a few months, she went from third in the pecking order to the first or second lowest. She's been acting lethargic, stands still, and...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got 6 egg/8 pullets with temps being a comfortable 35-50°F. I'm very pleased that one of our late layers (she was late by 3.5 months to her siblings) started laying consistently last week! I was quite worried about her, not only because she was very late, but since she started rapidly gaining...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Mine are this way too! The chickens only have interest in the food in my hand :rolleyes: Plenty of times have I rationed out some of my food, but they ignore it. Instead, my lap, back, arm I'm eating my food with, or any place they can perch and extend their deceptively short looking necks my...

    Possible egg oddity

    Looks like a misfire (no yolk, so missing the structure to keep the whites in order) plus shelless. There have been a few almost identical looking eggs posted on this site, but I cannot find those threads. If the bird is young, both of these issues aren't an alarm. If the bird isn't young, both...

    Confused on gender

    I definitely see saddle and hackle feathers and I cannot tell if the legs are thin or thick. I'd expect at least a little male behavior here at 24 weeks, like sizing up others in the flock and crowing, but if there are two roosters already he might be hesitant, especially if they're jumping on...

    Help frozen feet!

    Could you dog kennel her in an unused part of a kitchen, bathroom, possibly heated storage? Anywhere the family won't notice too much

    Help frozen feet!

    She most likely has feeling back already, but pictures would be more helpful. The swelling will naturally reduce at this point, can't do much after it has happened. She shouldn't be walking until a majority of her foot is back to a normal color and the swelling is gone. Keep her on flat but...

    Pullet or Cockerel

    I'm curious to what looks like a nose bubble in the second picture, is he okay?

    Double egg?

    It's long and bumpy because the chicken's insides only get so big, so the egg comes out long instead of perfectly uniform shape. It would be more comfortable to let out than a perfect looking egg of the same weight. Sadly, tis' the life of a hen to let out a big egg almost every day. Maybe your...

    URGENT! Hen has extremely bloody, bare picked vent, what do I do?

    Treat it in prevention for fly strike as soon as possible, keeping her inside and away from flies would be the best move for her recovery. If it's very cold outside, the worry about flies is less, but the amount of bare skin could lead to frostbite. Also, try to figure out who the bum-picker is...

    Double egg?

    By the size it's most likely a double yolker (two yolks released at once) or just a long egg. It isn't a call for alarm, just an off looking egg.
