    EYP or Salpingitis Strikes Again (Possibly)

    Jan will be 3 this May. Yes. The other who passed was raised with Jan and 4 guinea hens. Yes!!! How did you know they had wrinkly egg shells!? It was only a few times, but I remember thinking, “hmm that’s weird!” It was usually just the top pointy bit. I am sorry to hear about your young...

    EYP or Salpingitis Strikes Again (Possibly)

    Hi all! I’m back with another case of EYP/Salp. 1/4 of my Lav Orps has already passed from it. It’s heartbreaking. I’d rather they never lay another egg if it keeps them safe. Anyway. Janice was dealing with this last fall. I was treating with Baytril and was saying my goodbyes. Her...

    On the fence on treating with Corid

    I was hoping I’d hear from you! Thank you @Eggcessive! Fingers crossed the deworming helps, but I’ll dose with Corid as well! This is the second one like that so I appreciate your expertise!

    Rooster Help - Aggressive or Just Learning

    This is so great to hear! We ultimately rehomed both roos. The Brahma was absolutely WONDERFUL. It broke my heart to see him go, but he was so big he was hurting my girls. Now he has 16 ladies to love 🩷 He also was able to have babies. So his genes live on in the flock. Things sound good...

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Thank you! I’m hoping it’s just trauma from the spurs and not something more nefarious. Hopefully the extra tlc will help her heal.

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Thank you! Do you think vetericyn would suffice? I thought the recently backtracked on blukote for not being approved for any food animals eggs or otherwise. I used it before for Bumblefoot and thought it helped

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Didn’t notice an air hole and no oozing. That seems like a good sign. Especially after being submerged. I don’t think I want to cut one open. I’m not experienced enough, and I definitely don’t have enough pain medicine for her to do that. Never thought of warts. The feather cyst could be...

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Wow! Thank you! These are things I should have thought about. These are relatively new as I haven’t been as hands on as I have a newborn. I did not touch these today, but the one on the middle back is hard. The feather shaft was poking me because it was rubbing up against it. When cleaning...

    Do chickens really like to be held?

    I genuinely think some of mine really do. They will “purr” and have fallen asleep on me. Some will come to me only for protection and others only for treats, but I do have two that I truly think come just for cuddles.

    Weird Growths on Hen - No other symptoms

    Hi! I have a 2 year old Lav Orp, Flip, who is my most favorite girl. We recently rehomed our roo, because he was a little too rough with the girls. Even with saddles. Ratio was 1:12. The other girls are in various states of recovery from his “love.” When holding flip the other day, u...

    Am I making the right call?

    I’d keep him if he was 99%!

    Am I making the right call?

    Thank you :) it’s hard because the 75% of the time he’s good, but the fact remains some are so scared of him and he’s not kind to them :(

    Chicks from broody hen

    I’d let momma do her thing. We just let a broody momma raise and we had a few cooler nights, she sat on the remaining eggs AND kept her babies warm. What’s the temp supposed to drop to?
