    Lethargic chick, smelly poop

    I just got 6 chicks from TS yesterday. I have raised lots of chicks, but we typically hatch our own or order from hatcheries. 5 of the chicks are doing well and are lively, but one is small, lethargic and has a terrible smelling bottom. I wiped off a bit of pasty butt from it, but I have never...

    Itchy after in coop

    Lately I have been itchy after picking up my chickens. I do not see lice or mites on them, but in the last couple of weeks when I pick my girls up I get raised bumps that itch like crazy. It is very similar to a chigger bite. Any ideas what this can be and how I can treat my chickens, coop, and...

    Is this vent gleet?

    My hen has looked like this for about 2 weeks now. I have tried an oral epsom salt drench, bathing her, anti-fungal cream, today I treated the whole flock with molasses water, and tomorrow I will give them probiotics. I have pushed back in what appears to be a prolapse more than once. She has...

    Plant identification

    Can anyone tell me what this weed is? It grows on the ground in the spring here in the south and is gone when the weather gets hot. My chickens LOVE this weed and I am wondering what it is. Thanks!

    Old chick fountains

    I lucked into about 9 or 10 of these old chick fountains. Can someone tell me approx what year these were popular? They came from an old barn that had lots of other jars from the 1970s in it so I am thinking approx from the 1970s? What do you all think? Most say Cool Water Fountain on the...

    Prolapsed vent??

    Well, my fave hen seems to be doing much better. Her feathers by her vent are still little dirty, but she has no odor and is not leaking anything out of her vent. She is also no longer prolapsed which is a good thing! She just needs to retire completely from the egg laying business and just...

    Prolapsed vent??

    The odor did not seem to be there this morning, but she was "dripping" poop. She still seems to be trying to push something out and her feathers are messy again. I will read up on gleet since I am not familiar with it.

    Prolapsed vent??

    I just cleaned her up and pulled this out of her. It is a soft shell of a collapsed egg. Only a small portion of it was a little calcified. It seemed to be stuck to the wall of her vent. I had to peel it off, but as soon as it came out and she decided it was out for sure she seemed to go back up...
