    Sickly Easter Egger Hen

    Thank you so much for the reply, I didnt update since there was no replies but she ended up passing the same day as this post. After I posted this a friend suggested soaking her even if she had laid thinking it may help relax her but by the time I got the tub ready I came out and she was laying...

    Sickly Easter Egger Hen

    I have a 18 month old hen who I thought was maybe egg bound this morning but she made her way into the nesting box and eventually laid an egg. I found her this morning in the run standing still with her tail down. She wasn't going after the kitchen scraps with everyone else, she was just being...

    Hen Dynamic Change w New Roo

    Today I put the rooster in the sectioned off area of the run. I let the easter egger out into the garden like usual and later in the day I saw her circling the run showing interest in the other birds. I cautiously let her in and all was well! I stood in the run for a bit and Bluey did keep...

    Hen Dynamic Change w New Roo

    Today we let the easter egger out in the garden and some of the other birds got out (including Bluey, the one who really seems to dislike her the most) and they did get into in but I would say the the easter egger won this quick little tussle. Bluey ran away with a little wound to her comb and...

    Hen Dynamic Change w New Roo

    I thought the same about the back of the head. I wonder, what would happen if I removed the rooster from the equation instead? This is my favorite chicken lol she seems more valuable to me than a little batam roo.

    Looks about the same but no crowing or anything suspicious to make me think rooster!

    Does this look like scaly leg mites?

    Hi, I have a smaller first time flock with ages ranging from 5 to 10 weeks old. Ive noticed some of the chickens have what looks like dry legs? Some of the scales on their legs look iridescent or shiny and pale looking. I have a dark Brahma who’s legs and feet look especially dry and I’m just...

    9 week old Easter Egger

    I have a 9 week old Easter egger who is causing me some suspicion. He/she used to always square up with my known barred rock rooster who is the same age but it’s settled down a lot so I put it out of my mind. It’s a laid back bird who I haven’t seen be aggressive with anyone until today I tried...
