Droppings look normal. She's eating and drinking normal. Her abdomen feels more like a firm water balloon than a solid hard mass.

Hi all! My one year old easter egger (one of 4), Colombo, is behaving differently than her sisters and I can't figure out what her deal is. She eats and drinks water just fine. She stays on the roost about an hour longer than her sisters and goes to bed about an hour earlier. She enjoys...

Could be. She suspects someone dumped her. Their coops is visible from the road, but she might have wandered too far. She's super docile and knows the sound of a treat bag when you shake it.

Sucks for her. Great for me. Gretta paid for her room and board with an egg already

I live in the downtown area of a small city. In our neighborhood, I know of 3 other chicken keepers aside from me, and we're all very neighbourly. Last night, one of the other owners (she has two barred rocks and two reds) came home to find a chicken had been placed in her run with her other...

Update!!!! We got the shell out!! It took a little lube and a good soak. Thanks for the advice. Philly will still spend the night inside resting and warming up. ❤️❤️

I have coconut oil and some mineral oil we use on our butcher block

This is Phil. She's my 8 month old easter egger. I brought her in to wash her floofy butt off, it was all matted with poo. Now I see she has something stuck in her vent. I tried gently pulling but it's not moving. What can I give her to make this thing unstuck? She's not laying now that...

So, this is my question! I'm like 90% sure she's a she. I've wondered all along if they were all girls, but most everyone who has looked at the pictures has said they're all pullets. I'm also going to set up a make-shift coop/run for Ma for the week away from the other gals in the hopes that...

First picture is the run/coop, second is my side yard. My place is messy So their run is roughly 15' by 7'... It tapers at the end by the coop. But they get free range time daily in our side yard. They have pine shavings in the coop and run. They have lots of places to dust bathe. They...

I have a flock of 4 Easter Eggers. They're just starting to lay as we are hitting 5 months old. Up until recently we have not had any bullying issues, but as the bottom 2 in the pecking order have begun to produce eggs, the head hen (Ma) has lost her mind and has been bullying my 3rd in line...

I feel so bad not knowing about vaccinations. My girls came from a D&B Tractor Supply. They had medicated chick feed for the first few months of their life.

Hey there! Flock of 4 Easter eggers here (sold as araucanas) So, two days ago, a chicken started showing weird signs. Not really following the flock as much. Laying down more frequently but acting sleepy even while standing. Comb is it's usual pink/red, tail is up - not droopy. The following...

Thank you! I'll stop being overly worried. 🤣
