    Not recovering from molt?

    I typically keep 3-4 hens, one of which seem to have never recovered from molt. I have 2 Lavender Orps since chicks. In 2022 they were both beautifully feathered and colored. Then after molt last year one simply never seemed to grow back her feathers. She eats, poops, and lays, but she looks...

    Prolapsed vent with a hard crust on it (graphic photos)

    Queenie is normally my most reliable layer. Most days she lays 1 egg, occasionally 2 in a day, but also sometimes she skips a day. They have the shell available all the time. The difficult/scary egg was when her vent was out 3 inches and she laid an egg into the prolapsed part. I had her in...

    Prolapsed vent with a hard crust on it (graphic photos)

    Thank you. That is very encouraging. The prolapse seems to be pulling in buy itself. It pulls in up to the crusty part. I'll keep a daily bath doing with the ointment. I saw some suggestions on calcium. I am going to grind some shell down and sprinkle it on her food. The girls have a...

    Updates on the last pages: Neighbor is threatening me and my chickens

    go to the meeting and demand that they publish the city code online. Not publishing online restricts access to the law to those who can afford to buy a copy or take a day off from work to go and look something up at the Mayor's pleasure. Ignorance of the law may not be an excuse, but keeping...

    Updates on the last pages: Neighbor is threatening me and my chickens

    https://library.municode.com/ is the website I use to check local laws, as a lawyer. Poke about there and if you are still worried, ask your local planning commission/ code enforcement section or call a lawyer. We are expensive. However, when you get free advice, you often get what you pay for.

    What is a pin feather? One of my girls has something going on with her neck and I don't know if it is molting or something else.

    First time out a DOUBLE!

    This is my first time raising chickens. I noticed that one of my 4 girls, Dexi, was getting kinda fluffy in the butt and her face was coloring nicely. She is only 124 days old today. Still, I put the nesting box on the coop this Sunday afternoon. Dexi started going in and trying it out for...

    It is like having my very own ghost tapping at the front door. Almost spooky, but it only happens in the daytime.
