    Chicken face inflates when she breathes!

    I know this is a very old thread but I wanted to add since this is the only related thread I've ever found. My 6 year old OEGB hen has been doing this for the past 4 years that I can remember. I've taken her to the vet and even a bird specialist to no remedy. She seems to have it worst when it's...

    Already lost. Confused and concerned.

    Super late update: yes it was Marick's. I lost one of his only two sons the exact same way a few months later (it was heart wrenching). The Olandsk Dwarf breed seems (to me) to be more susceptible to it. My only guess is because of them being foreign to the US on top of them being brought back...

    Already lost. Confused and concerned.

    One of my Olandsk Dwarf roos of about five months old suddenly stopped walking around the coop and just sitting on his haunches. I took him out immediately and noticed he seemed dazed and dizzy. I've seen that type of behavior in chickens who have been bullied out of there fair shar of food and...

    Wow. I thought it only applied to the shape of the feathers. It’s the coloring too?

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

    Hey first off, I’d like to say I’m glad this thread exists. Thank you. So I have a few birds I’ve admittedly been line breeding with reckless abandon and have made birds that confuse me as to how they are the color they are. I can send pictures if you’re curious but I have a rooster that...

    Goofy birds dust bathing

    Mine all absolutely love the towel when they're inside! My Mottled hen is actually the grandmother of the other two chickens in the video. She's my full time inside chicken. Her name is Sweet Pea. She's wearing a sock diaper if anyone is wondering.

    The Mix and Matches Breeding Project Thread

    I’ve been thinking of mixing my spangled OEGB hen with my cream sebright rooster to see what colors and patterns may come out of them. Has anyone else tried this before? Do they have pics of the offspring?

    Any ideas on the breed?

    I’ve had this cute little bantam hen for over a year now and I absolutely love her. I got her from another chicken owner when she was already full grown and laying so she is at least 2 years old. She weighs on average 1.3 lbs and lays off white eggs averaging around 31g on a somewhat irregular...

    Chicken tilting head all the way back and rolling it side to side, loss of balance

    Today she Today she turned 6 days old. When I started giving her the original mixture she ate it happily. After about two days she refused to eat it but ate the regular feed with gusto. The other chicks have been nice to her thank goodness. Just yesterday it seems the condition has stopped all...

    Chicken tilting head all the way back and rolling it side to side, loss of balance

    I know this thread is 2 years old but I have a speckled Sussex bantam chick that just hatched with this exact problem. It’s very distressing. She’ll walk a few steps and lay down and pull her head back, twist it around, and flip over. She can eat and drink just about fine when I hold her and put...
