Thanks for your help now I have to go figure out what...

    Yellow Worm on Chicken!

    I've got a seven week old orpington buff and I found a little worm on her. The worm was yellow and kind of translucent about half a centimetre long and it had a little black dot inside of it. I only spotted one of them and it was just sitting on a feather (not on the skin), I don't know if it is...

    How to introduce a young pullet to a hen.

    ok thank you guys! Right now we have them separated with chicken wire in the run and my "established hen" is not very happy about having a new chick around:(.

    Traumatized Chicken

    I am concerned about the raccoon coming back! Raccoons would not come in the day right? And will my survivor be lonely? I won't be able to get any more birds for a while, and even when I do get more will she get along with them?

    Traumatized Chicken

    Thanks she is drinking and eating this morning so I think she will be fine! I'm pretty sure it was a raccoon, we saw the survivor attacking the creature and when we opened the door and ran outside the creature ran off so we didn't acutely get to see it close up. Thanks for the ideas!

    Traumatized Chicken

    First egg...what is normal?

    Hello! I think this is a first egg for one of my chickens and i'm wondering if the smudge of blood on it is anything to worry about. (the smudge is not much but it is more obvious in real life.) Thanks for your help
