    Eggbound

    Actually, this makes a lot of sense. It didn’t look like an egg to me. She got pretty sick like 6 months back and we thought she was going to die. Bleeding from her vent. Thought she had sour crop. She stopped laying after that and we joked that the illness gave her a hysterectomy. So this would...

    Eggbound

    My sweet girl was in and out of eggbound issues. We did soaks and lube and it would slide back in, but would reoccur a day or two later. I thought for sure today was her last day, but we were able to get the blockage out. She is very weak and can barely walk. She’s lost a lot of weight. Do...

    Keeping the girls warm

    This will be an issue even with the little windows? I keep them open even when it’s cold and then there are cracks/openings between the nesting boxes and the top too. These are above their heads. We inherited this coop when we moved to the property and the walls have always looked like that from...

    Keeping the girls warm

    I have a smallish coop and I’m trying to figure out best way to keep the girls warm this winter. The girls have a run attached that has been winterized on 3 out of 4 sides. I’ve also placed plastic sheets on the inside of the coop to prevent draft. The nights are starting to drop into low 20s...

    Curious about a prior illness

    Back in July my 5 month old Rhode Island Red got real sick. I thought for sure she was going to die. Her illness started with “drooling” and lethargy. I googled that and felt she may have a crop infection or impaction. Her crop was rather distended. We separated her from the others. On day two...

    Subcutaneous emphysema

    It’s hard to tell from the picture but the circled areas are air filled. It’s not horrible but it just caught me off guard. I had them in a kennel for over a week. The big girls stopped paying attention to them so I let them out. They free range in a large enclosed garden area which is okay but...

    Subcutaneous emphysema

    I have a little 16 week old frizzle that I’m in the process of integrating. The big girls have not been kind to her. I think they caused some subcutaneous emphysema when establishing the pecking order. It’s under her wing and along or in front of her thigh. She’s like a little slightly deflated...

    Bleeding foot

    I have a lovely Cochin. Recently I’ve been finding her with a bloody foot. It looks like it’s coming from her feathers. She has been molting but it doesn’t look like her feathers are coming out. It’s almost like they are getting cut or cut off. Has anyone had something similar?

    10 week old chicks

    I have two frizzle Cochins that about 10 or 11 weeks old. I had them in them in a separate cage for about a week. I take them in at night since I can’t integrate them yet and I’m afraid it’s too cold at night for them (getting down to 40/45). I let them in with the my three 9 mo old girls today...

    Frizzle Cochin cockerel or pullet?

    I know this gets asked a lot, but I’m worried about my almost 5 week old frizzle cochin. We already have a surprise roo and we are not looking for another. With the comb and red waddle do we think roo or hen? Also, just look at all the frizzle! I just love it!
