    Half blind chicken won't come out of coop by herself

    For the past several months my EE hasn't come down from the top roost unless I open the coop door and she jumps all the way out. It's a 7 foot jump. Thankfully she doesn't get injured. I just noticed she's blind in one eye. I have no clue how it happened. Maybe age? She's 9 years old. She still...

    Hen Acting Off and Corners of Mouth look Odd

    Yesterday I noticed Harley wasn't as active and fast as the rest. Today she was the same and walked toward me for treats, not run (which she always does). She still eats and drinks but does seem under the weather and I'm wondering if this white on the corner of her mouth is part of it...

    White Leghorn hasn't laid in a while

    My 5 year old white leghorn, Clara, hasn't laid in a while, maybe a year. My EE is the same age yet is a productive layer. Clara looks to be in good health and act perfectly normal. She still squats. I know egg laying drops off at around 3 years of age but my EE lays just fine.

    I'm a cochin and....?

    I know that Sadie here has cochin in her but was wondering what else she could be because her legs aren't yellow, they're more of a pink/grey. She's also smaller than her pure cochin sisters. Any guesses to what other breed she could be or is it too broad? Sorry if the photos aren't the greatest.

    No Crow Collar for young cockerel?

    I'm trying to find a new home for my 2 1/2 month old cockerel (I live in the Buda/Kyle TX area) but am afraid he'll start crowing before I re-home him. He's very nice but I can't keep a rooster in my area. I got the no crow collar for one of my hens (weird, I know) but was wondering if anyone's...

    Black Marans Cockerel needs a new Home in Buda/Kyle TX or wider Area

    Hey all. I'm needing to find a new home in the Buda/Kyle TX area (Austin, San Marcos, Wimberly and others work too!) for our Marans cockerel Georgie. We aren't going to re-home Georgie right now, but when he starts crowing. When that time comes, we'd like to know if there's anyone in our area...

    Need to re-Home Marans Roo in Buda/Kyle TX Area

    We aren't going to re-home Georgie here right now, but when he starts crowing. When that time comes, we'd like to know if there's anyone in our area that is open to welcoming Georgie to their flock. We aren't asking for any payment, we simply can't keep roosters and want him to have a place for...

    Run-off Layer Feed a Problem?

    I just moved our 4 8 wk old chicks in the run and closed it off to the big girls for the see but no touch period. Part of the run goes under the coop and the coop floor is wire mesh so the some of the feed falls on the ground. I plan to get something to catch the feed though. Are the chicks okay...

    Standard Cochin gender

    I've been observing my 4 week old chicks for a while now to spot any suspicious ones. I've noticed one of them, Millie, feathering slower than the others and growing tail feathers unlike the others. Plus the comb is a bit suspicious. Her feather growth is faster than my last cochin cockerel...

    Baby chick height

    My cochin chicks are around 2 weeks old. One of them has wing feathers around the same length as the rest but doesn't have tail feathers or any other feathers coming in like the others. She seems a little taller but doesn't act assertive or alert like a boy. She's a follower and docile. The...

    Barred Cochin Gender

    I'm starting to wonder about the gender of one of our chicks, Millie. They're a week old so I know it's pretty/really early. She seems to feather a bit slower than the others mainly in the tail feather department. I think she's feathering faster on the wings than our partridge cochin cockerel...

    Cut off the end of a snake

    So I just cut off a solid foot of a 3-4 foot snake that was climbing under the nesting boxes just now. The bugger managed to get away in some plants. I don't want to hack up the plants to finish the job to put it out of it's misery though. I scared off that same snake a few hours ago but now...

    Broody hen acting strange

    My dark brahma hen just starting acting strange today. She's been broody for the past few weeks. When I took her out of the nesting box today in my futile efforts to break her broodiness. I soon noticed that she wasn't really moving around. She didn't run for treats but looked like she was...

    What could be wrong with my hen?

    My buff rock is ill lately. I noticed last night that she was on the lowest roost and wasn't making her usual noises. She's losing feathers and her poop is very runny, it squirts out. She's a bit lethargic but does eat and drink. I know that's a bit vague but what are some possible illnesses?

    What could be wrong?

    I've noticed that our three year old hen hasn't been herself lately. She's a little lethargic but will eat, drink, and run for treats. She feels a bit light. I picked up one of her sisters as a comparison. Her butt has gotten poopey quite quickly. I'm not sure if this is exactly specific but...

    Hen with swollen abdomen

    I'm not sure if it's ascites. She certainly isn't eggbound. Our leghorn, Fiona, is 3 years old and has had a swollen abdomen just over a couple months now. I took her to the vet and they think it's likely an infection. They gave me antibiotic injections to give her. They actually seemed to work...

    Hen has blood on face and neck

    I found one of my hens with blood all over her face. None of the other hens had blood so there was no fights and I couldn't find what could've caused it. I have her in a large kennel with food and water to isolate her. Unfortunately the blood is dried so I don't know how I can clean it off. She...

    Egg Bound?

    I noticed yesterday that one of my hens is acting a bit strange. She waddles a bit and her abdomen feels bloated but I haven't felt any egg lump. Perhaps I haven't felt enough. She eats and drinks but acts a little slow. She doesn't exactly stand like a penguin. I had a video file to upload but...

    Roughed up hen

    One of my white leghorns, Sophie, got in a fight with my EE, Harley, and usually they get it over with but I saw blood drawn and broke it up. All the sudden some more scuffles occurred but ended. I know chickens are attracted to red so I made sure to herd Sophie away from the other leghorns. One...
