    She's been through a lot...wondering if this will heal without any lasting issues/limping.

    She's been through a lot...wondering if this will heal without any lasting issues/limping.

    Several weeks ago my neighbors hen got attacked by her dog. The wounds were nasty and deep, so I took her in and tried to help her heal up. Disinfectant, antibiotics, bandages, the works. But I somehow missed the most horrific part of her injury: a deep bite mark right behind her leg. By the...

    White Spots on Rooster's Comb

    So my rooster has had these small white spots on his comb for months now, and I wasn't too worried about them before. But since they're still around I'd like to know what they are and how to treat them. The first picture is him in the spring/summer, and the second picture is pretty recent...

    Sexing Easter Egger/Australorp Chicks

    Hey everyone! So my hen hatched these two chicks all on her own and they're about five weeks old now. I was wondering if they were pullets or cockerels. My guess is one hen and one roo, but I'm not confident yet. Any guesses? (I think they both have pea combs btw) Chick 1: Chick 2: Together

    Egg bound?

    Thank you for your response! This hen hasn’t laid an egg in a pretty long time, which I believed was due to the season change. She’s still going after treats and pooping, and I checked her vent. Everything is fine there. I think her feathers are like that because the rooster picks at her...

    Egg bound?

    This morning I came out to the coop to see my Orpington hen looking like the pictures below. She hasn’t been acting super lethargic or anything but I’m worried she’s eggbound. Any thoughts?

    Bloody poop? (Content warning)

    Thank you. They are 11 weeks old and I’ve had them since they were chicks. I checked all of their vent areas and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

    Bloody poop? (Content warning)

    This morning I noticed that there was clear feces with what I could only guess was blood in it, in my coop. It was one of my new pullets in the separated area. Later in the day I saw it again, and I’m really worried. My chickens aren’t showing any signs of illness that I’ve noticed. (If there is...

    Best Breeds For Free Ranging?

    Guinea fowl. They’re pretty tough, and they camouflage really well. They eat around 1000 ticks per day, and they’re good alarm systems for the rest of your flock.
