    Nutritional Deficiencies?

    Hello! I'm about 3 years in to my chicken journey but still learning every day. Our flock is currently struggling. Of our 7 hens, we have a Rhode Island Red with ovarian cancer or tumor in her reproductive track, a Cream Legbar with a tumor on her back, a Speckled Sussex with a messy bottom and...

    Is this Coccidiosis?

    Hey y'all, My 2 year old Rhode Island Red, Patsy, is under the weather. She is usually high energy but today she's lethargic (to the point of falling asleep standing up), isolating herself, feathers looking rough near the tail feathers, and white and green liquid poop. I haven't seen her drink...

    Not sure what to call this

    Anything to be concerned about?

    I didn't even notice the eyes! But you're completely right. I'll look into that. Her sister died from a respiratory illness at a few weeks old so it wouldn't surprise me. They are meek! This is my first experience with this breed. We love her anyway though. Thanks for the advice!

    Anything to be concerned about?

    Hi y'all, My one year old Salmon Favorelle has been looking kind of rough lately. She is acting completely normal and still laying eggs daily. However, she seems to have a bald patch under/near her beak. I also have noticed black spots on her skin as well. I thought they were just dirt (She...

    Hoarse Chicken

    Added a video! It's obvious who is the worst. The cuckoo Maran (black and white) also seems to have a pale comb compared to the others. But I'm new to all of this so unsure. I would love your opinion thanks!!
