    Sick rooster; poop photo included

    I'm not at all a pro, I would recommend absolutely waiting for someone with more reference/knowledge than I have (basically none). That said seeing it, it reminded me of the Clostridium perfringens example from the droppings thread over here...

    Mystery non-great poo.

    Yeah I think it is slowly improving from the already more limited diet, was suspecting something in the range of stress/dehydration, just don't want to overlook anything. Thank you. :)

    Mystery non-great poo.

    Since bringing them in (later Monday I want to say) free access to usual Purina layer feed and water. We've split a scrambled egg between the two for two days, they get about a dozen mealworms ea. When outside they had free access to bucket feeder and waterer, they'd get a little Impeckables...

    Mystery non-great poo.

    Our two Brahmas decided to molt dramatically at the same time. We've been dealing with a heatwave, they've been miserable. The bottom hen was chased down by our three Australorps and they attacked her pretty badly. She seems okay as far as that goes (they did draw blood but I got her out...

    Chicken neck crushed, suffocated, not sure?

    She'd pushed her head through a gap in the locked door, we since secured the door and setup a camera, found we had a bullying situation we had to deal with. At the time we brought her inside and kept her in a kennel to rest, kept giving her dampened/wet layer feed, vitamin e and aspirin, she...

    Chicken neck crushed, suffocated, not sure?

    She is looking better today, mobility seems better. She still seems a little slow and has slight crook to her neck but it's less inflamed and she's acting more like herself. She laid an egg last night which we were not at all anticipating given the circumstances (taking it as a good sign.)...

    Chicken neck crushed, suffocated, not sure?

    Yesterday morning I found our sweetest Brahma girl with her head sticking out of a closed A-frame door (part of our henhouse - Carolina Coop coming next month). It was about an inch wide gap. She was blue in the comb and wattles, not moving, eyes open, membrane closed. I was absolutely positive...

    Sulphur/yellow urates AND snuffles.

    We’re… having issues. A couple of our ladies have been sneezing, runny nares, most of them are acting normal - we have a vet appointment next Thurs (we can call and maybe get a drop off earlier if it’s an emergency), but one of our snuffly girls has been having sulphur tinged droppings. She had...

    Young Brahma hen, strange sounds?

    Thank you! Oh man what a character. (Can't wait to see/hear what our other Brahma does. 😂)

    Young Brahma hen, strange sounds?

    Since she started laying, one of our Brahma hens has started... I don't know what to call this. Her cries range from like, crying baby to Jimmy Carr laughing, seagulls, squeaky toy deflating to... almost rooster crows? It's been a few days of this and she looks otherwise normal? She seems normal...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    So far it's just been puppy pee pads strategically placed (like all over the chair when I catch this) and a general pickup once they return to the pen. Saves a little on cleaning time, overall waste is worse. Seriously been considering the diapers esp. if any turn out to be less than hennish...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I mean I technically know a lot of things. This isn’t an ideal setup. They are big enough to go into the coop (7 weeks). They’re actively not in the pen. Everything is a chaotic mess. I’m concerned that my favorite is a roo so kinda spending QT with her (I hope) - the nearer lap chicken. I was...

    Does this count? (PB & pickle sando - no reason he should want this.)

    Henlo ❤️

    I’ve been hanging around a couple of months, today is the one month chickaversary from when we picked up our first half dozen, and I can already tell we're going to need more space. 😅 We have four Black Australorps and two Buff Brahmas. So far my favorite bit of this is kind of just watching the...
