    Rats/Mice?

    I went to tuck my rooster in for bed and saw a rat or mouse scampering away when my flashlight hit it. It escaped though a hole in the coop door, the door couldn’t close properly because it absorbed the rainwater. I didn’t see whether or not it ate/drank from my rooster food. His food was filled...

    Poopy hen

    I’m thinking about letting my hen hatch more eggs next year, but the last time she did, she pooped herself and the chicks ended up smelling like poop too. She wouldn’t leave them for even a second, and the babies were chirping so loudly when I tried to clean her up. This time, I’m considering...

    Scared Rooster

    I actually forgot to trim his nails and spurs, but his roost is wide enough, and I even added some padding on it.

    Scared Rooster

    I have a small flock of four and he’s the only rooster. Even the other girls seem scared of him, and there’s only one hen he actually likes. Nothing has changed recently, so maybe he’s just aging 😢

    Scared Rooster

    Recently my rooster has been acting strange. I always check all of my chickens’ crops before bed to make sure they’ve eaten enough (I’ve done this since they were chicks and never had any issues), but now my rooster has started pecking at me. He’s also stopped sleeping on his roost and has...

    Buff Orpington?

    There is a what I believe could be a wild or abandoned chicken in my city but I don’t know what breed it is, these are screenshots taken from a video so they may be blurry. I would like to take her in but I’m afraid she might have pests that could transfer to my girls (I don’t really know how...

    What happened to her tail feathers?

    Recently my smallest chicken rattlesnake has been very vocal. I thought she might have wanted to lay an egg but even at night, when I fill up the food and water, she begins to sort of squawk. (I say squawk but it’s really just her “speaking”) I don’t know what it could be because all of my other...

    What is this?

    There is something at the base of my roosters comb that looks like a pimple. I touched it and applied a light amount of pressure but I’m not getting much of a reaction to know if he’s in pain or not. The hairs by the “pimple” thing are sticky but I’m unsure if that’s from the watermelon I gave...

    Possible health risks?

    I went to let my chickens out of their run and noticed that one of my hens had crazy feathers. I thought this could be from dust bathing but I noticed there were also broken feathers. Could she be lacking any vitamins or am I just overthinking ?

    Dry Chicken Skin?

    It’s summer and he’s the only rooster but he does spend a lot of time on the roost. Will this go away with time or should I put some sort of cream on him?

    Dry Chicken Skin?

    I was trimming my roosters nails when I noticed his belly is flaky. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    What breed is this?

    Got these chickens from a friend, but we’re not sure what breed they are. Any thoughts? I’ve added photos of them as chicks, cockerels, and full grown adults

    Rooster 1st toe injury

    I’ve noticed that my rooster has an injury on his 1st toe, it looks like a poor trimming job but I’ve never cut his nails until now (which is when I saw it). Does anyone know what it could be or if it’s infected? “1” is his other normal foot “2” is his injured one

    Lump under beak

    I just recently notice that one of my mamma hens had a bump under her beak near her waddle. I don’t know what could have caused this (Im thinking maybe the chicken wire I use?) is it okay to be with her chicks or should I separate them, they frequently peck at her beak when she’s eating like normal.
