    Chicks with bloody wing tips with mama hen

    She is getting chick feed with the chicks. Should I change it or add more protein?

    I looked them over and it seems to be only on 2-3 chicks.

    Chicks with bloody wing tips with mama hen

    My hen hatched out 9 chicks 5 days ago and they all seem to be doing well. The first day I noticed she would peck at them, but I realized she was just trying to get them to go under her and she was fine after that. But today I noticed she does this a lot, even when they are trying to eat. I...

    Yellow Rough Skin on Crop after impacted crop

    She did end up passing away unfortunately. I was tube feeding her and tried everything I could think of, but she just wasn’t getting any better. Thank you for your response.

    Yellow Rough Skin on Crop after impacted crop

    My hen had impacted crop, what felt to be a small amount of wadded grass in there. I gave her some coconut oil and electrolytes and kept massaging it and it went down significantly. This morning only a tiny amount remained and most food and water that I’ve been giving her is not sitting in her...

    Hen open mouth breathing and lethargic

    I am in north Texas. The weather hasn’t changed much lately. It’s slowly becoming warmer. I don’t see anything in her nares or throat. No rattling, bubbling, sneezing, ect. I have tubed her electrolytes yesterday and today since she doesn’t want to drink on her own yet. She is up and moving...

    Hen open mouth breathing and lethargic

    I am in north Texas. They do free range on 1/2 acres so it’s not impossible that she could have gotten into something moldy, but I don’t have anything moldy laying out anywhere and didn’t see anything when I checked. My other hen that was lethargic has sour crop, so I started treating her for...

    Hen open mouth breathing and lethargic

    My welsummer hen has been acting sick since yesterday morning (that I’ve noticed). Very lethargic, not eating or drinking, and opening mouth breathing. I can tell she’s having a hard time breathing. But no discharge from eyes or nose. No coughing or sneezing. She did have some runny poop...

    8 month old rooster or hen?

    Oh yay! Thanks everyone. I almost sold her when she was younger because she looked so different than my other pullets and I thought she was a Roo. She is super pretty with her curly tail.

    8 month old rooster or hen?

    I have what I thought was a rooster but he is 8 months old with a small comb and barely any waddles. My girls from his batch have way bigger combs and waddles and have been laying for a while now. He hasn’t laid any eggs and I haven’t heard him crow. No other roosters. He doesn’t act like a...

    Turkey Hen or Tom?

    This is my 14 week old Royal Palm. I’ve always though she was a hen. I’ve never seen her strut and never heard her gobble. She does talk a lot, but no gobbles. Does it look like I’m right, she is a hen? Or is she a he? 🤔 Thanks!

    Chickens won’t drink Denagard water

    Hi all, my flock has been having some minor sneezing and my young Turkey had some sinus swelling so I got a bottle of Denagard to put in their water. The first day they seemed to drink it OK, but yesterday and this morning they seem to be avoiding it. I added quite a bit of sugar and a little...

    Chickens eyes swollen/respiratory illness

    Also, I did add a Brahma rooster recently from a lady that works with Texas a&m and tests her flock for certain things. I quarantined him before putting him with the rest, but I guess he could have been a carrier. I am a naive newbie I guess.
