    Chicken with Swollen butt, Green Poop, Not Eating, Lethargic

    Hello, One of my hens has a hard swollen butt/ abdomen and seems to not have eaten much over the past few weeks. Every time I come home for the weekend It has green poop that smells very bad all over it's butt, and I've been cleaning it off. Since I've noticed it was swelling it seems that all...

    Chicken Walking on One Foot

    I'm worried one of my chickens hasn't been eating or drinking enough and I think it has something to do with it's foot. It seems to be tripping when it walks and when it stands only stands on the left foot. I think it might be some disease, from what I can tell it's not an injury, because It...

    I need your opinions on Coops! What do you think of prefab coops?

    Hello, I'm a college student in product design and I want to hear your hate/love about certain coops and their features. I recently built a chicken coop myself, and much of the design was inspired by the takes of people I've heard on this website. I'd like to quote them in my presentation...

    Lethargic Chicken, Green and White Liquid Poop, not eating or drinking.

    I also need to mention that I've put food grade diatomaceous earth in their feed as I heard it was a good dewormer, in case it was a parasite.

    Lethargic Chicken, Green and White Liquid Poop, not eating or drinking.

    I recently had a hen die, and I didn't examine the body because I wrongly thought it wasn't contagious, but I've noticed another one of my hens is doing the same thing, but at least right now it's not as bad. Like the last one, It generally has slower movements then the rest of the hens, and...

    Road Island Red Rooster Overmating, New Hen Needed?

    They definitely don't avoid him, they stick around him most of the time and if they do stray a way for a bit it's definitely not "at all costs". Actually, I was just out there today and I saw two of the worst hens sticking around him. Still, they don't always mate willingly. Some will even...

    Road Island Red Rooster Overmating, New Hen Needed?

    To be honest, my chickens don't have that much to do inside their run but I let them out pretty often, but sadly I haven't done that as much recently because my neighbor's dog is a jerk. Still, most of they year I let them free range as much as possible, once a week or if not several times a...

    Road Island Red Rooster Overmating, New Hen Needed?

    So I have a pretty aggressive rooster (Kaiser Fertilizer, also my username) who keeps taring up my hen's backs. He started last year, thankfully all my hen's healed ok, but it's begun again. I've took every measure I know to stop the damage, but I want a better solution. Filing his claws, hen...

    Did my rooster fight off my neighbors dog?

    My chickens were recently attacked by my neighbor's dog, which is a problem in itself, I might post about another time. I was so upset because I thought I had lost a rooster and a hen, only seeing 5 of my hens out of the 7 chickens total. I saw the dog upon walking outside and the missing...

    How to get feathers grow back with "rowdy" rooster?

    I've seen plenty of evidence that my 6 road Island red hens and 1 rooster are molting, But I'm worried about their backs. The rooster loves to mate, and a few of my hens have bare backs and upper parts of the wing, very red at times. I bought a few hen aprons but they don't seem to do anything...
