Hi, my polish hen has had a limp for months now, I can't remember how far back. I'd wrapped it with vet wrap, over and over. She'd always get it off, and just pick at it relentlessly until she'd get it off. She seemed to get better, but just had a limp that never actually went away. So I stopped...
Hi! I'm putting in a small pond near where my chickens roam. I want to put some plants around it. I bought a sweet broom, a dianthus, and some alyssum I'm going to plant into the yard somewhere. I also have a French broom and a Spanish broom that are waiting for a spot in the yard as well. My...
Hi! I was given these hens a year and a half ago. They are about 2 years old. Does anyone know what they are? The black one is next to her silkie boyfriend, so you have some size reference. They are basically bantam sized. They lay a cream colored egg a little bigger that silkie eggs. The black...

Hello to all,
I need help. I've been noticing my chickens shedding their intestinal lining. I'm so confused on all of this. I have 72 chickens (12 of them are 1 & half years old, and the rest are about 6 months old). I see about 6-10 intestinal lining poops per day, and it's been happening for...
