    HELP!!! Normal poop or should I be concerned????

    I'm not sure. They got a bell pepper like 4 days ago but that should passed through by now. They do free range in the evenings and eat bugs so my boyfriend was thinking bugs maybe? She is acting normal, but we are going out of town so I am trying to determine what this could be.. I am going to...

    HELP!!! Normal poop or should I be concerned????

    One of my hens (1 year old) pooped this weird poop this morning. She’s acting normal and is eating and drinking fine. We recently integrated chicks to the flock but they have been with us since they were hatched. Chicks are not sick and have not shown signs of sickness. Everyone is great except...

    HELP!!!!! Respiratory issues

    She is actually very good about it cleaning it. It was clean the next morning haha. She has never been dewormed before. They have never had any parasite issues (knock on wood) so I have never treated the flock.

    HELP!!!!! Respiratory issues

    She turned 1 in April. Laying fine, no new birds although we have chicks in the garage but they haven’t been around them since they’re only 4 weeks old. Crop is emptying fine I believe (I need to check again in the morning) and nothing unusual in her abdomen. She does have some poop on her butt...

    HELP!!!!! Respiratory issues

    Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can help me out. I’ve noticed one of my girls is sounding sort of “wet” and crackly. She is also breathing a little louder than usual. She is eating/drinking normal. What can I do to prevent her from getting worse?? I have separated her from the rest of the flock...

    Hens bullying one hen

    I have had severe bullying in my small flock of 4, and I am absolutely over it! We have 4 hens total and 2 of them have plucked the neck and butt feathers off of her. Her butt and neck are completely bald, and we have had them separated for almost 3 weeks now. They are currently being separated...

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    Do I keep the peepers on at night? Like I said they are really quiet and don’t move much at night. It happens during the day

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    The roost bars are pretty close in the coop but we’re unable to move them since it was one from tractor supply. I don’t think it’s happening in there. They are pretty quiet at night. I see it happening more during the day in the run. Only 1 hen messes with her and then she (the hurt one) messes...

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    UPDATE: I got some hen healer and I am going to apply it and stick her back in the run with the other hens. I want to fix the bullying problem though. how can I do that? Do I isolate her inside the house or inside a crate that sits in the run? I only have a dog crate and i am scared one of them...

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    I think they are leghorns?? Here is a picture of her. She doesn’t sit there and peck/pluck all day but she will peck her while the buff Orpington is in the nesting box or will peck her butt.

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    Here is the other hen. We only have 4 hens and have a 12x8(or 10) run for them. I feel that they have plenty of space. I separated her for tomorrow since we’re not home during the day and planned on getting her hen healer and throwing her back in once we got home. I also plan on taking the bully...

    FEATHER PLUCKING!

    Guys I’m not sure what to do :( we had one hen about a week ago that plucked all her chest feathers out and now we have another hen who’s butt feathers got plucked out. I’m not sure if she did this or other chickens did this to her but it seems bad and uncomfortable. I checked for mites and...
