    Help please!

    My girl Buttercup had quit laying a good while back & hasn’t laid for a few months now. She has been fine until yesterday when I noticed she looked lethargic, wasn’t her sassy self, not eating like usual and most of all her abdomen going back between her legs is really bloated. She’s not...

    Not sure if this is normal???

    My Olive egger stopped laying a few weeks ago. I thought she was about to go into molting. But i have only noticed very few feathers lost. You wouldn’t know looking at her. I just picked her up one day and a few came out then. So I assumed that was it. Well, Ive noticed she seems to have...

    Need suggestions on indoor set up

    I recently had to keep one inside about three months. I found on Marketplace a cage like you spoke of with plastic bottom and wire arched top that would open and lift up. It was great because it had clips that allowed it to be taken apart for cleaning and the plastic bottom was about 4-5...

    20% all flock feed

    Turned out to be a double yolk, second one I’ve had, two different hens! Could that be from 20% feed?

    20% all flock feed

    The Nutrena Naturewise is what I’ve been using. Don’t think there’s any problem with it. I’ve had wondering myself about the 20% feed as opposed to 16%. Everyone on here seems to be doing what I have , so hopefully I’m okay. I had my first vent prolapse yesterday and I always question myself...

    VERY large egg! Normal?

    Ohhh that would be good!!! One of my favorite ways to eat eggs is boiled! My poor girl…a double yolk was cool for first time ever in having chickens over ten years, but I would not wish that on my “Buttercup”…😞

    VERY large egg! Normal?

    Hi there! My favorite hen, I think she’s a Buff Orpington, lays extra large eggs. A couple weeks ago she laid one almost twice as big as her usual, which are really big. This one egg fills my hand. It’s about as big as a tennis ball elongated. But I’m wondering if this is normal? She’s my...

    Bumblefoot w/o a scab??? How to treat?

    I’m already using both. But what I don’t know how to treat is the one that’s horribly swollen, especially on the top of her foot. It feels like it could just rupture any second! But there’s no scab on that foot. I got the little bit of scab off but it was more like deep embedded dirt than a...

    Bumblefoot w/o a scab??? How to treat?

    Another poor girl! Feet look awful but there’s no scab on the worst one, But horrible swelling. Is it Bumblefoot? If so what do you do to treat when there’s no scab to remove? It’s swollen bad on top and on bottom! The other foot has a scab. I thought it was swollen but did soak and clean...

    Bumblefoot?

    You’re very welcome! I just thought maybe I could save you some of what I went through! Please let me know what happens! I had been using Prid, started halfway through treatment because I didn’t know about it initially. After everything I wondered if the big hard lump was the result of Prid...

    Yes, I was wondering! Thank you! I’ve never had a rooster period and do not think I would want a big one but this little guy is the cutest thing and super sweet!

    Tiny rooster question?

    That’s exactly what I did! I put him in one day and watched. He immediately hopped on hens back, she freaked out and ran around with him on her back! In a minute he hopped down and it’s like they were best buds! Question on quarantine? Guess I was stupid! But why quarantine? Contagious...
