    2 Hens have been sick for months... help?

    Hi! What follows is a bit of an epic post. Sorry for the length. We've just been dealing with these 2 sick hens for a long time and are at a loss for solutions. So we thought we'd lay it all out here and see if anyone can offer some advice. Both birds got sick around the same time, although...

    essential oil mist for respiratory diseases?

    Hey! I was wondering if someone ever used essential oils in a mist to ease a respiratory disease? I ordered antibiotics and oxine but I still need to wait until next week to get them. I was thinking about using a mist of water and oregano oil as it has some antibiotic properties... just to...

    What's making my EE cough like this?

    Here's a video of our Easter Egger coughing... She's been doing this for 3 weeks now. She had an impacted crop that we treated with massages and olive oil and seems to have gone away... but the cough remains. Other than that, no symptoms... clear eyes, no discharge, regular energy...

    Are these saddle feathers?

    So the consensus so far has been that our buff brahma is a lady.... But lately these feathers showed up on her back. Are these the dreaded saddle feathers? Is this for sure an indication of maleness? (s)he doesn't have much in the way of a comb or waddle... Thanks for your tips!

    This little fury thing is one of our last addition to our flock! She is 4-5 weeks old; is it too young to tell if she's a she or a he? Also, we were told she was a splash: is she? And is it me, or she could be frizzled? How can you tell? What do you look for? By the way, we still need a...

    Hey everyone! I've noticed this morning that Paulinsky, our golden laced polish, seems to have new feathers on her tail coming out... And seems like the tips are blue in the sunlight! Is it a clear sign she's a "he" or polish hens also can get colored tail feathers? I find really hard to sex...
