    Hard, impacted crop just turned soft and squishy this morning - good thing???

    My maran Ling's crop started out big and squishy. We started puking her (stinky!) and feeding her yogurt and keeping her inside. Then, it turned small and hard like a golf ball, so we figured it must have become impacted, and we started giving her oil and massaging it. This lasted about two...

    8 week old chicks - boys or girls!? Only one is obvious so far.

    The father to all of these is a mix of ameraucana and wyandotte (Colin, if anyone remembers him :) He's a lil brat, but he's doing quite well). There are three pure-bred mothers of different breeds. The two black ones, Gusta and Big Black, have a black copper maran mother. Big Black is...

    What in the holy heck is my rooster doing?!?!

    He's driving the hens insane and we can't figure out what he is doing. He keeps going into a corner on my porch on some newspapers and making himself as small as possible and and scratching a bit and making a constant "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" sound. The...

    My favorite hen and namesake, Birdo, started yawning frequently a couple weeks ago. Now it has progressed to constant mouth-breathing and wheezing, especially when she's stressed or after flapping her wings a lot. Her energy level is fine and she's eating and drinking fine. What is going on...

    My new mix-breed rooster - Any ideas??

    Just got this lil guy from a farmer with many different breeds running around. He said his guess was "Wyandotte/Ameraucana/Yokohama". I think I see leghorn in him though - white ears, giant tail, and giant comb (which is so heavy is flops over). It is a "pea comb" in shape, however, having...

    Just got a new rooster with a flaccid comb

    He's adorable, but I think he's a little bit "special"... He was free, a guy with too many roos wanted to find him a new home because he was "too pretty for the pot". He's a mix of blue laced red wyandotte and yokohama. Anyway, his comb hangs right over his left eye just like Flock of Seagulls...

    Broken End of Beak - Warning: Pics included

    Our wyandotte, Birdo, tried pecking at a fox through the coop wire and ended up breaking her beak this morning. I didn't see it happen, so I'm not sure how she did it. It's broken right at the tip, and I think might be cracked all the way up. I rinsed it with saline. The bleeding has...
