I will try this- thank you! So... even if she had prolapse it can go away? Or stay inside? Sorry if that’s silly, I still need to research prolapse more. I never saw it again after that one time and she was in good spirits the rest of the day
Hello! I noticed my sweet girl had a big red ball coming out of her bottom and found that it is a prolapse Rectum. 15 minutes later her butt looks normal... (a few hours later still looks normal). she is eating and drinking and begging for treats! She is being a bit mouthy lately but I figured...
Ohhh ok. You’ve got quite the age gap, which I expect I will have at some point too when adding new ones to my older flock. It’s easy to tell how the younger girls are feeling by their behavior which is great! They’ve been ok! One time I saw Them huddled in a corner so I moved them back to their...

Dang... both? I think they are Danish Brown Leghorns. Oh man. My tummy just dropped. Bummed I got two cockerels...

My “twin” girls are starting to look very different.... please tell me Daisy is a girl who just grew a lot quicker than the others and not a cockerel? I really hope not... but something tells me she’s a he. The flock (4) seems to have really bonded already and I would hate to have to lose (re...
hooray!!! good to hear!! I just put electrolytes in their water... should I do probiotics instead?
You have 12!!? wow! I have four, and dang it, I LOVE them soo much already!
