    Sick hen, poop seems to be backed up

    Yesterday we noticed a 6yr hen of ours was walking funny, and today she is completely immobile and seems to have a large lump near her abdomen. We’re thinking it could be poop or an egg, but nothing for sure. Comb is also bluish in color (shape is normal, it’s been like that for years). Any...

    Weak chicks

    Hmm I’m definitely not an expert but I would google some exercises maybe that you could do to build leg strength while they’re still young

    Weak chicks

    Some breeds can be weak for a few days after they hatch, so I would wait and see, but do you have pictures if possible?

    Need opinions on pullet or roo...

    It’s hard to tell while they’re still so young, but I would agree that the second might be a cockerel with the comb so large already

    New chicken!!🤪

    I would look into pullets selling in the area; you wouldn’t want to buy a new chick since the others are already a few months old. Also, if they’re bantams you could look into those, or if you’re worried about size difference some other small breeds like white leghorns might work

    Having trouble determining gender

    So in March we bought two chicks from a local hatchery, claiming to be both pullets. Now, since they’re older, I’ve started noticing some pointed feathers and a more erect tail on one. I’ve just assumed it’s a roo, also considering he is much taller than our pullet. Any thoughts or comments...

    Need advice on broken beak

    I came outside to find my polish rooster’s (super long) beak folded inside his mouth. I don’t know what to do. Any advice?

    I hope whoever invented Orbeez steps on a Lego!

    Haha! I just read through the first half of this conversation and it had me laughing (not about your concern for your hens :hmm). I've never known anything about Orbeez so I can't be much of a help, but the title of your post had me laughing, @gabscilla ! :lol: I totally agree

    Will Chicks eat on their on after coming out of the bator

    When we hatched eggs last summer my chickies werent really eating/drinking either. I tried carefully dipping the tip of one's beak in water and then lifting the head so he could swallow. I did it a few more times and after he got the hang of it he was at the waterer for SO long drinking more and...

    Black Sex Link Limping?

    There is an abrasion on the bottom of her foot, but as i was putting ointment on it and wrapping it, I noticed her hock seemed to be bothering her. I wrapped it in medical tape to "stabilize" it and she (kinda) seemed happier. Her toenails look normal, and there was no large scab on her foot...

    Black Sex Link Limping?

    So my friend is staying in Cali for Christmas and asked my to check on her chickens a few times while she was away. I went today and one of them was sort of limping/walking low. I’m not really sure if it’s bumblefoot or something else, but I have the things to treat it if it is. What should I do?
