    Is this fowl pox or something else?

    My long-term partner (@HerNameisAlfredo) posted about a chicken he had gotten from my mom's, who was lying down and not able to stand too well. She's now developed growths on and around her beak, and on/around her eyelids. These have all grown in the time between him posting and now. The list...

    Chick with misaligned beak?

    The hens are from our flock, I just meant a few had escaped their yard but are in a safe spot that we monitor daily. And I'm certain there is little to no chance the hen was related to the rooster. No one else in the flock is like this. What I meant by the no eye comment is my husband gently...

    Trying to figure out what's wrong with my mom's hen-she's slow?

    Hello! My mom has a small group of lavender Orpingtons, and one of them (who was on the bottom rung of the order) is...not all there. She's slow to react. Clearly there's not something right with her. She reacts fine to things, but if I had to describe her with a different, nicer word it would...
