    Possible cataract or ???

    I’ll try to get a photo tomorrow when she’s awake for the day. But it really is just the pupil, like a cataract typically looks. It’s not the entire eye. She actually did lay an egg today for the first time in about a month, so that’s a good sign, I suppose.

    Possible cataract or ???

    Hi, my young leghorn has one eye that is now opaque, like a cataract. It seemed to happen very quickly, and she spent about a week isolating herself when the other hens walked around or free ranged. She also stopped laying. There is no discharge coming out of her eye or any other obvious...

    Pinless Peepers question

    Oh wow, how generous of you! I think I’m going to order them from Amazon because they come with the crook neck pliers. But you have such a good heart ♥️

    9 week old Olive Egger - pullet or cockerel?

    9 week old Olive Egger - pullet or cockerel?

    Thank you! All the other babies’ feathers are so much more rounded in comparison (plus they are all different breeds), so suddenly I started doubting the gender.

    9 week old Olive Egger - pullet or cockerel?

    Hi, this Olive Egger girl was purchased from a farm store, which claims they have a 90% accuracy rate on sexing and offered in a bin full of all females. It doesn’t have much of a comb (which is very pale), and its behavior is extremely timid. It’s size is approximately the same as the other...

    My Chicken Has Blue Eyes - Does Yours?

    I have a young Olive Egger with blue eyes (she was vaccinated against Marek’s). But she’s really young and I’m guessing she’ll possibly grow out of it and eventually have brown or amber eyes.
