    Big growth on elder chook's wattle - only noticed today when applying VetRx for a cold

    Dear old Bindy (8+ years old) is rather under the weather and has been for a while, but only sporadically - she has her good days and her bad days - the cooler weather doesn't help. Her comb sometimes goes quite dark purple at the ends, so I assume she has some circulation/heart issues...

    3 day old chick with sore eye (red in corner). Pic.

    Hello, Hoping you can offer input as to a sudden sore eye. Possibly the wee chick got something in it, as it wasn't noticeable this morning and was fine yesterday. The flock have been recently wormed (in the last month). The wee things did have an adventure the night before last - rats chewed a...

    ADVICE PLEASE - Dog Attack! Wound on vent... graphic picture...

    Hello, My poor girl was attacked by a young dog today - being taken care of by a rather clueless 'dog sitter' and he thought it'd be a good ratter so brought it into the field (he's a friend of a friend with little cash). It forced its way into the chicken run (I was just finishing up care and...

    Hoping not, but thinking so... both boys?

    Thomas(ina) - hatched April 21st 'Siblings' Dee Dee and Thomas(ina) Wee Dee Dee (or not) hatched 27th April (looks like a cross between Pierre de la Terre and Pepper when they were that age... so... cockerel?) =( There is quite a story with DD, but I'm too tired to share it right now...

    Unusual Situation - emergency bra incubation!

    Yes, you read it right. Keeping it short, Kiki, the young broody mama had had enough of sitting on what I now know was likely an overambitious clutch of 12 eggs. Just one hatched. They were a staggered clutch too - over a five day period (unwise, I know). Anyhoo - she left her clutch after...

    Greetings from Glastonbury, UK! Glad to join such a great group!

    Been main chook lady for a group of rescue hens about three years, maybe four (!) - they're about 6 or 7 years old now and still laying (though not prolifically). When a couple of them became broody this year, it felt 'right' to give them some fertile eggs. And so the adventure takes a turn...

    Help with gender and breed please!

    Really hoping that we have one pullet from the three eggs given to a broody rescue hen, and that this be she. Hatched Aug 21st so 14 1/2 weeks old. Also interested in what kind of a mix she/he may be. The comb seems to say pullet (in my limited knowledge) but the drooping tail has me...

    Thinking cockerel, hoping not.

    Hello everyone, This fine chook hatched Aug 21st - so just over 3 months old... got the egg from a yard of many breeds so not sure what breed, either. Your feedback would be most welcome! Thanks in advance! =)
