    Is this a prolapse?? Help!!

    Just found my Azure hiding out in the coop like this. Blood in the nesting box. Standing but doesn’t want to move much. She was fine this morning. Currently sitting in an epsom salt bath. If it is prolapse, what do I do? Pictures I’ve seen online do not look this bad!

    “25 week old” Isa Browns not laying

    I picked up 2 Isa Brown pullets at the first week of May that were supposedly “point of lay” age. So roughly 20 ish weeks or so. Now over a month later they still have not started laying and their combs aren’t nearly dark enough to indicate that it’s coming any time soon and they are not...

    Swollen leg in chick

    I have some Easter Eggers that are about 3.5 weeks old. Today I noticed this one laying on an obviously swollen leg. It seems to go all the way from hock to toes. She does not bear weight on it and is hopping on just her right leg. There is no sign of injury or trauma. Any advice or...

    I think I’ve lost this egg- confirm?

    I am 12 days in and while candling I noticed that this one looks very different than the others. There are not nearly as many blood vessels and there looks like what could be a partial blood ring in some areas. I was going to call it a definite dud, but it looks as though the darkest spot may be...

    Are any of these yolks fertilized?

    We recently acquired a young rooster and I’m not sure if he has started “doing his job” yet… do any of these look like a clear bullseye to you?? Thanks!!

    What’s going on with these feathers?

    That’s unfortunate- they were only about 4 months old when I got them. To think they were mated so aggressively before they were even of laying age. 😬 Luckily it seems as though they are getting ready to start their molt very soon!!

    What’s going on with these feathers?

    I have 4 Rhode Islands that I picked up this spring, full grown but not quite laying. 2 of them had what looked like broken feathers on their wings but I didn’t think anything of it… I assumed they would grow back. When they didn’t, I was wondering if maybe the farm where I purchased them had...

    Can anyone identify this breed?

    I’ve only had her for a few hours, so no eggs yet. But the farm did say she just started laying, so hopefully I will get one tomorrow! 😁

    Can anyone identify this breed?

    I picked up this girl today when I swapped out my Roos. Anything other than Easter Egger?

    Pullet?? :)

    I recently found that 2 of my 3 Easter eggers are roosters… I have one more that I’m NOT suspicious of, but before I take the others back to be swapped out, can anyone confirm that this girl is in fact a girl? They are 16 weeks. Thank you!

    Easter eggers looking a little roo-like…

    Hey everyone! I’m pretty sure I have 2 Easter Egger Roos in my bunch, but I’m not so confident in identifying this breed since there are just so many variations! They are 16 weeks old. I’m noticing very long tail feathers and pointy looking feathers along the neck. Anyone that knows more than...

    Can anyone identify this breed?

    Hi everyone! I have 2 chicks, about 8 weeks old that I thought were Speckled Sussex chicks, or a mix considering they did not have the pink legs. Now that they are getting older, they are looking less and less like a Speckled Sussex. Can anyone identify this breed? Thank you!
