Okay so, my neighbor has a few gems and I noticed the other day that one of her hens eyelids was HUGE. So I grabbed this photo:
Anybody have a clue as to what's up with her? The lump is hard and it doesn't seem to hurt her when you touch it.
I've been trying to look this up for the past 2 days now and have either stumbled upon conditions that seem WAAAY worse, or people who have had their issues resolved by random stopping or chicken death.
So, my chicken has been wheezing for the past couple of days, it started 2 nights ago. She...
Hello once again BYC! I have a [somewhat] serious dilemma [i think]. I rescued 3 EE's from an abandoned lot about 2 months ago, the chickens were the same size as my 3 month old Sultans, so I'm assuming they were about 3 mo at the time.
ANYWAYS, one of the chickens, who I've named Melee, is...
I'm very concerned about my chickens health here in Phoenix AZ. The summers keep getting hotter and hotter (last summer wasn't as dreadful for them) and I don't want to have all of my chickens die of heat stroke. So, I have a few questions:
1) What are the symptoms of heat stroke in chickens?
2)...
Today, two of my chickens got into a serious fight. It happened really quickly and now one is unable to stand. She is very weak. Her head is still responsive. I have her inside in a towel. I made sure she got hydrated with a saline drip, but I'm not sure what else I can do to help her. Her wound...
Alright! So I have 2 new Sultans, I've never had any before and they are A LOT different that my "standard" chickens(probably because they're exotic and what not). So, is their anyway to tell what sex they're going to be at this ripe old age of 9 weeks? I could just wait till they're older...
I have an EE she's the youngest and smallest in my flock. She's a little over a year old and was consistantly laying eggs until about 3 months ago. I thought she was brooding, but she's never in the nest and I haven't found any secret ones (our coop and run is small enough to search since we...
For the past 2 months my chicken have slowly stopped laying eggs. I havent gotten any at all in the past 2-3 weeks. I thought it was the heat at first because I do live in Phoenix, but theyre under shade and I keep a jug of ice water in their coop to keep them cool. I had a problem with one of...
A yellowy puss looking liquid just came out of my new chick! She jusr got to my house from the store and she loojed like she was pasting up so, like my last chick to have a poop butt, i pulled it off, but a yellow liduid came out and now that i look at it, it doesnt appear to be coming out of...

Okay so my chicken panzer keeps walking around away from the group but shes always around them. Also she keeps hiding and is very vocal. Hermouth is constantly open. I lost sight of her for a little bit and found her hidding behind some boards. I thought she was stuck, but when i moved the...
