    Breed ID help?

    Yes - the lobes are white. Thanks so much for your help - I did look at the hatchery site but I just couldn't figure it out. So helpful - I like knowing what I have and this is the first time I just wasn't certain. Thank you all!

    Breed ID help?

    Thanks! I love this site - I don't post a lot but I've been lurking since 2009 and I've learned so much.

    Breed ID help?

    I was given a small flock by a friend but he has no idea what they are. They were purchased from Murray McMurray this spring. I know there are a few Easter Eggers, but what about the white/black? Or the one with feathered feet? Still working on getting close to them - they're a bit skittish...

    Where is that poop chart?

    She's a year and a half old, Ideal 236. She started molting a couple of weeks ago and has been looking pretty ragged, but yesterday, I noticed her standing out under a tree with her head pulled into her neck. She stayed there for hours. Last night she didn't go into the coop - I had to lift her...

    Where is that poop chart?

    THanks. I think that was the one I was thinking of, although it didn't proovide me with an answer. I have a sick chicken who pooped blueish liquid this morning. Was looking for a clue.

    My chickens haven't laid an egg in months - what's up??

    Quote: That's a good thought. Maybe I'lla dd some cayenne to their food to worm them. Does DE work for worming, as well?

    My chickens haven't laid an egg in months - what's up??

    Thank you all for your replies. You brought up some good points. I don't think anything is sneaking in - our coop is very secure (entirely lined with hardware cloth). I don't think they are laying in a secret spot, because there are no eggs even when I keep them in and these birds were loyal...

    My chickens haven't laid an egg in months - what's up??

    I have a chicken mystery on which I was hoping some of you might help me shed some light. A little background: As of this spring, I had a very healthy flock of year-old layers (10 of them). We had some predator issues in the spring which reduced our flock to 4. In July I got 4 new girls who...

    Sick hen - eyes closed, lathargic, green mucousy poop - Help!

    Thanks, Imp. Sadly, we lost our gal this afternoon. I have no idea what killed her. I hope it wasn't something contagious.

    Sick hen - eyes closed, lathargic, green mucousy poop - Help!

    A few months over a year in age, she's lethargic, just laying down with her eyes closed - she opens them when I pick her up. She had green mucousy poop this morning and I found a soft-shelled egg in the coop (can't verify it was hers, but seems plausible, as the others are healthy). Any ideas...

    Bird injured - missing quite a bit of skin.

    I'm posting this for a friend of mine - Something got into her yard yesterday (maybe a dog?) and injured one of her birds pretty badly. Two birds are currently missing - my fingers are crossed that they were just scared off and need to find their way home. Anyway, I went over to her house last...

    Mystery predator

    I lost a bird yesterday, but I'm not sure what took it... The girls (we had 11) were free-ranging on the lawn like they do every day, all day. I went out to do a head count at about 10 a.m. before leaving for work and I couldn't find any of the birds, which is unusual. Usually they come to me...

    sick hen, 13 weeks old, lethargic, black poop, weak, DOING BETTER!!!

    Sue, if you want to try some vitamins for her I have a bottle of PolyViSol left over from Songbird. I could run it over to you today, if you like. I hope you can figure out what's going on with her...I don't really have much more to offer than what I've already emailed you.

    4.5 week old chick not growing **now with pics** ((Updated))

    Thank you for the advice, threehorses! I'll definately keep that in mind for the future! She is completely tame (and spoiled) - she's one of my sweetest gals!

    Hen injured by another hen - Not sure what to do - **pics** (Updated)

    I let her free-range on the lawn with the other hens for a bit today and stayed very close in case she started getting picked on. After a couple of initial pecks by an EE and a RSL she was left alone. I'll still keep her separated until she heals completely, but watching her with the others...

    Hen injured by another hen - Not sure what to do - **pics** (Updated)

    Update: So our hurt chicken seems to be doing okay. My concern now is whether or not the other birds will accept her back into the flock. I'm keeping my fingers crossed> Here are some recent pics: 2 days after her injury (we've moved her inside at night and into a segregated part of the...
