    Small Gritty Crop and lethargy

    Didn't see much straw or fibrous stuff in the poop, was kind of like unbaked cookie dough consistency (hope I didn't ruin cookie dough for everyone). I live near San Jose, California, not too cold but chilly at night. I've green house tarped their area so it's warmer than the ambient temp...

    Small Gritty Crop and lethargy

    Will do! She pooped as soon as I put her in the pen this morning (anxiety poops maybe! haha) and it was more solid than yesterday but no actual rocks in it. Will definitely keep checking it. Do their combs ever get pale due to being cold? Thank you so much for all the advice, really appreciate...

    Small Gritty Crop and lethargy

    Her crop was empty this morning, no rocky feeling! Her color also was looking better so I put her back outside. The other chickens are bullying her a bit so I can't tell if she still has the tendency to lay down but at least it's not a crop issue!

    Small Gritty Crop and lethargy

    Thank you so much for replying. It does not feel like a solid mass but a malleable sack of rocks. I can push around the rocks inside her crop. I did read that article you posted and have already started giving her some coconut oil and massaging it. I'll keep at it for the next two days and...

    Small Gritty Crop and lethargy

    Hi All, I have a hen about 2years? I'm not exactly sure her age since I adopted her. She's normally pretty up and about and very food motivated but the last few days she's been laying down a lot and her color has paled a bit. I put some VetRX on her and her color seems to have come back a bit...

    Bay Area BYCers!

    I still have 4 girls but they are no where near as cuddly as the boys. I adopted the girls at an older age and they aren't used to being handle :( The roos I got at 8 weeks and constantly picked them up so I could when they were older. I didn't know they were roos when I got them so I got way...

    Tots is my favorite too, I'm so sad. I knew this day was coming but I just wanted to hold them for a little more (and pray I don't get reported right away)

    Urgently need to adopt out two splashed laced red wyandotte roosters, one started crowing and I live in Sunnyvale where they're not allowed. Please let me know if anyone is interested. They're both friendly, Tots (the one I am holding) is much more cuddly.

    Blue laced wyandotte pullet?

    Just offering you some comparison pictures of splash lace red wyandottes. Your little chickie kinda looks in line with the development that my boys had but the waddle seems a bit smaller? Albeit, mine are 2 weeks older than your chickie here they're really cockerel looking on the face. Mine...

    Second opinion/Breed & Gender clarification.

    Update pics at 14 weeks of tater and tots, still meeping no crowing yet. Still get to play with them a little longer.

    Help, Fighting over nest boxes - missing egg

    I'll try to set up some curtains for them, I'm just about done with this feed bag so I'll give that a go. I'm slightly worried it'd get too hot in the box, my box is only 12x12x12 and one open side. They're like cubbies. You reckon it'd still work if I just covered the top half?

    Help, Fighting over nest boxes - missing egg

    Thank you for the reassurance. I'm still new to the chicken life. I felt bad she was getting bullied out of the boxes, didn't want her getting sick from not being able to lay. Wasn't even sure if that was a thing but it makes sense that if they need to lay they're going to lay!

    Help, Fighting over nest boxes - missing egg

    Two of my chickens were fighting over the new nest box today, one keeps chasing the other out after she settles down to lay. I found the egg from the aggressor but I couldn't find the egg of the other hen that was being chased. My run isn't huge and I actually sifted through the entire thing...

    After 2 months of getting 2 chickens suddenly dropped off at my door...

    How it started: (Yes, those are chickens in a trash can, and no they didn't stay in there for long lol) And now: I've gone off the deep end on tinkering with this coop for a month but my chicken training yard/parkour course is almost complete! The flock just lazing about in this summer heat...
