    what is wrong with my hen?!

    Yes she does seem to have yolk type pieces stuck in her feathers. She is not laying. She stinks but I'm not sure it is suffer I am smelling.

    what is wrong with my hen?!

    It is hard to tell what is discharge and what is diarrhea. I did suspect vent fleet, which is why I started the robotics and Apple cider vinegar, but she is getting worse not better. After looking at some articles on personifies and that seems most similar to her symptoms. I'm so sad. She is a...

    what is wrong with my hen?!

    Hi. I have a three year old hen who is very sick. She has a swollen bottom below the vent and has lost most of the feathers back there. I've had a feel and there is no egg that I can find. She has had diarrhea for four days. She is isolated and confined so she will rest. I have been soaking her...

    Two BO Roosters in Maryland

    I have two young Buff Orpington roosters that need a new home in Montgomery county, MD. They are about 13-14 weeks. I bought them as sexed chicks and they turned out not to be the hens I thought I was buying. Neighbors would not appreciate roosters. We are in the Cloverly area. Need to find a...

    Who crowed?

    Oh I hope not both! We aren't allowed roosters. I will re home the one and cross my fingers for the other.

    Who crowed?

    There are just two birds ( sorry should have said that in the first place) the one in the middle picture is the one I suspected. He is on the left in the first picture and in the back of the last. You think the other is a rooster too?

    Who crowed?

    These are my 12 wk old BO "girls" only I am pretty sure one of them crowed. I think I know who it was as I've had my suspicions that one was actually a rooster for a few weeks but I have never actually had a rooster before so I am coming to the experts.

    one hen is not laying

    Hi there chicken experts! I have a little backyard flock. My oldest girls are two years old and all five of them molested and stopped laying as expected this past winter. Four of them started back up a couple months ago, but I have one hold out. No eggs from her since last summer. They all eat...

    Two problems...

    I have five hens that have been together since chickhood. They are almost two. They are molting and it is winter and they have stoped laying. This is normal right? They layed all through winter last year. Not as regularly as the warmer months but we got enough eggs to get by. Nothing this year...

    Thanks for the advise. It seems crazy that this would happen right outside my back door!

    Hawk Attack

    So my girls are grown now and just starting to lay. They have been outside for months without a problem. I only let them roam around the yard when I am home, otherwise they stay in their enclosed run. I have two dogs in the same area so I haven't been really concerned with predators, but the...

    Cut on Beak

    I asked my uncle who also raises chickens and he said just to leave them alone. I did and they are fine. They stopped doing it for the most part, but I think also that they have grown enough that their beaks don't get as far through anymore.

    Gender Guesses EEs? (new pics)

    Wonder why there is such a switch? So everyone thinks I have all girls now? EEs are so tricky! My friends chicks were so much simpler to figure out!
