    Molting or stress or...?

    Hello! I have eight girls, six of which I got this past April as chicks. The oldest (5-Year-Old Leghorn )went through a hard molt as she does every year in the fall, but she is still not recovered from it and over the last couple weeks suddenly has pin feathers all by her head on top (last...

    Bald spot?

    Hi! Today I noticed this little bald spot above my easter eggers eye. It's not red, nor did she have any problem with me touching around it (thoroughly searching for mites/lice to which I found none). I have seven other hens in her Coop/run all of various breeds. I haven't noticed any pecking...

    Gold laced wyandotte 14 weeks

    Hi! I thought I was in the clear but now Figs tail feathers have me very concerned. Do I have a roo? They're about 14 weeks. Thank you for any and all input- I'm brand new to this breed.

    Blood in poo? Or intestinal lining shedding?

    Hi! I have six 8-week-old chicks that are still sleeping in the nest box and a big pile (I also have two three and 5-year-old hens that roost and I think they're still too scared to join right now). I have been finding one or two poops each morning in the nest bedding such as one pictured. All...

    Wyandottes/marans

    Oh wow thank you!! And yes I know they're big they spend a lot of time outside- but I have adult mature hens and I'm not ready to introduce them to the flock permanently yet as they are no where near their same size. Next week!

    Wyandottes/marans

    Hello! So I have supposedly 5 week old Gold laced wyandottes. Worried about roos vs hens And also wondering if they are actually that breed? The most gold laced one (last two pics) not only looks and seems younger but also was sold as a copper maran which I'm not believing 🙃... Any...

    Weird egg- never seen before?! (Not lash that I can see)

    I have a young child that often picks up the hens- could this be due to improper handling? Just trying to make sure.

    Weird egg- never seen before?! (Not lash that I can see)

    Hello! My girl's been offer game recently and hasn't laid in quite a few weeks. I found a weird shell in the coop run yesterday... And today this. This is the first time she's laid an actual egg in probably 2 months. The attached stuff is kind of squishy. Anyone seen this? Acting eating and...

    Baby chick butt concern

    Hello! I have raised chicks before but not encounted this problem. I have two chicks whose butts look like this- it's not necessarily pasty butt but it's not looking correct either. They pick at them a lot... Any advice? They are on medicated chickstarter and I might start wetting it...

    Possibly water belly?

    Sadly, my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge a few days after posting this. She picked a cool, beautiful night to go- I know not what exactly happened but she quickly deteriorated to the point she couldn't get up at all, even when she saw me and tried to. I had told her that morning that it...

    Possibly water belly?

    Hello, I have a four year old leghorn named Skittles (she's the sweetest). About a 2 months ago, she stopped laying out if the blue, but was perfectly healthy so I paid no mind...tbh her eggs were always a bit oddly shapen. A month ago she looked like the picture attached - her comb was always...
