    Eggshell Breach! Will it survive?

    Hey all! Been a while since I've posted on here... going crazy at home and mostly because of an anticipated wee one in the near future (human! Not chicken!). But, I do have some wee chickens on the way, as well! Here's the situation... I have a great buff Orpington hen, super tiny for her...

    Bantam Boy!

    Got a bunch of "assorted bantams" at tractor supply (I know, shame on me) a few months ago. This little fellow is the shining star of the bunch!! He is the sweetest, most gentle and friendly little rooster I have ever known. He will sit on my shoulder as I move about the house or yard...

    Escaped Chick Cat Attack

    Hi all. I've got an unfortunate problem. I have a three/four week old white leghorn pullet that apparently managed a daring escape from her brooder early this morning. My 6 month old cat, Waffle, apparently found her before my husband did. The chick's rear end is torn to bits all around the...

    Craigslist Rescue Mystery Chicken

    Hey all! I've got a mystery chicken that I will be picking up (and putting in quarantine for a good long while before releasing to the rest of my flock) from someone on Craigslist. Not sure what breed, or even what gender, but I do have a picture that was texted to me of the poor thing...

    Chick Hock Infection - Chick is on the mend!!

    Hi all, I put this in the wrong forum at first, so apologies for the obnoxious posting. (pics from five days ago) I have a chick that hatched a few weeks ago and he was having a hard time from the get-go. He wouldn't eat or drink, but I gave him a lot of attention and he was doing just...

    Injured Chick- Infection????- Leg problem!

    Help! This little baby has been having issues since he hatched, with the first week and a half of his existence being spent giving him Nutri-Drench daily with a syringe until he started eating and drinking properly on his own. I thought he was on his way to a full recovery, when I noticed this...

    Another Sick Chick Thread

    Hey all, sorry in advance if this has been answered already, but my searching has yielded no results and I think time is of the essence in this case. I've got a little mix breed chick, about four days old. He/she is much smaller than the other chicks, and I noticed today that the little one is...

    Incubator Fan Attack!!

    Hi all! This is my second time hatching eggs and despite a nasty spike in temperature during week 2, I've got a good number of little peeps running around now. It was an early hatch, so there's still some eggs that have yet to do much, but that's not the reason I'm posting this! I use a Little...

    My Turkey is a Chicken

    Hey all! I've got a bit of an issue and I was wondering if any more experienced turkey keepers would have any advice for me. So here's the deal, I've got a 4.5 month old blue slate tom, named Baldr, as well as 19 chickens (4 roos, 15 hens). I got the turkey about two weeks ago. The hens are...

    Wingleader's Cluckingham Palace Flock!

    Hey all! I figured I might as well sling some pictures of my birds at everyone. I've got a good bunch in the way of stories to share, so I hope people enjoy 'em. I'm quite proud of my feather-bums, so I'll do some little bios here and there! How we got chickens was a bit of a crazy situation...

    **Urgent Update!** Horrible Molt + Cloaca/Oviduct Problem

    So, I've got a buff orp hen who's got a bit of an issue. In the spring we had a rooster who was a bit too feisty. He ended up plucking the backs of about six of our hens before we found him a new home where he was the only roo. All of the other girls got their feathers back (or had new pin...

    Possible Leg Injury? Bumblefoot Unlikely

    Hey all! I haven't had any chicken emergencies for a good long while, thank goodness, but yesterday one of my favorite gals, Flourbum, was limping quite hard when we let the flock out to free range for the day. She was hatched this March and, up until this point, has been one of the most healthy...

    I'm an Illustrator!

    Hey all! I saw some neat stuff going on in this forum, so I figured I'd throw in some of my own stuff! I'm an illustrator working freelance at the moment and I do a lot of fantasy based artwork. I don't get enough time to do much personal stuff, but I recently painted one of my roosters and...

    Muddy Run Prevention (sand/gravel), Advice?

    Hey all! I live on a flood plain right off of a large creek. Normally, the creek isn't an issue, but a few weeks ago we had a lot (A LOT) of rain and the creek rose quite a bit. It was a few feet from hitting our back patio (up about 7 or so feet, I think?). Our coop is as sturdy as a rock...

    A Puffy Problem - Orp Mix Breed Genders

    Hey all! Been a good bit since I've posted on here... but here it goes! Skip to the pictures if you don't want to read it all because I like to type a lot. :D Back in March I hatched some babies! There are 10 of them and they're about 7 weeks old now (and soon going to be heading outside!). 6...

    Chicken Onomatopoeia!

    Alright. So here's something fun (I think??)! I'm a senior in college, going for my BFA in Illustration, to be exact. I have a comic book class, which I've taken to 1.) fill out credits and 2.) help me round out my skills. So, today's assignment was to create some "sound effects," which is...

    New Problem, 4-6 month old EE Cockerel Gurgling, Can't Stand

    Hey all, another chicken issue here. :( I've got a boy named Flynt, who hasn't be having the best time of late. He's 4-5 months old, at my best estimation, and is an EE. I found him about a week ago sitting on his ankles and unable to move in the coop, so I brought him inside and have had him...

    A Shot in the Dark

    Hi all! I'm going to try to be more active on here, so I figured I'd share my most recent escapade (or maybe eggscapade? hurr hurr). So, a few days ago my queen B of the flock, Lydia the never-broody white leghorn, started laying eggs again after a few weeks off (the cause of which I'm unsure...

    Emergency! Old English Game Hen acting sick/strangely

    My old English game hen (approximately less than 6 months old) is extremely lethargic and is writhing around (swinging her head back and forth in a sort of figure 8 movement). Every few minute the hen seems to stretch or strain. She has not laid any eggs yet that we know of. Could it be a bound...

    Wingleader's Chicken Chatteau - Coop-in-Progress

    Hey all! Prepare for a very long post. But there's pictures! So yay! Since my fiance and I bought our house, we've been tabling making a huge chicken coop to house our feather-butts. This has been put off, sadly, because the house is practically unlivable at the moment and addressing that...
