    Help needed - Possible canker

    Hello, I have a chicken that about 7 days ago was suddenly overly full of water/liquid in the crop when I went out to check on them in the evening. She was drooling it out, shaking her head, making a bit of a wheezing noise. It had been very hot and I'm sure that played a role but she looked...

    Help! Possible mareks.

    Hello byc members, it's been a while, which means I've had very little problems with my flock. However about 4ish weeks ago I noticed my rooster picking at his foot and then limping off. He was fine earlier the same day and I though maybe he got stung by an ant or even a scorpion (we live in...

    About a week ago we bought 6 chicks from TS. Up until now they've all been acting super healthy and active. This morning however I noticed one little baby (my favorite one, go figure) just laying down when the others were all standing, she hopped up when I put my hand near her but seems very...

    What is going on with my hen's comb?

    My favorite hen has been having an issue with her comb for probably over a month. She seems to be healthy otherwise and I'm thinking it could just be injury but I want to make sure it's not something more. It looks a bit paler than my other hens, it also looks dry and has some red marks.None of...

    Pendulous crop

    Hey all I need a bit of advice, I recently acquired a chicken from my brother, I noticed a month or two ago that her crop was huge when we went over and when I felt it, it was very squishy, he said it had been like that a while but didn't seem to bother her (needless to say he's not really one...

    What is going on here? Fertile eggs and no rooster!

    Okay so we currently do not have a rooster, we haven't for months now. The last couple of weeks we have noticed our eggs look fertilized (white dot on yolk is a bullseye). We have a hen that will attempt to crow on occasion however she has no other rooster traits and I'm about 85% sure she is...

    Leg deformity

    I have a 2 month old barnyard mutt chick that I suspect is a cockrel. He's a Russian orloff/delaware mix. He started developing curled toes and by the time I really noticed he wouldn't keep the little braces I made on. I wasn't overly concerned with the curled toes because I've read that they...

    Help! Week old chick breathing heavily

    I have four week old chicks that I hatched (from my own stock) out of an incubator. We had five but had to cull one, its legs had pretty bad deformities and it seemed like it was struggling to breath. The remaining four seemed pretty healthy aside from getting a little pasty butt which I've been...

    Wild oats

    Hey there, this is probably a really silly question and I think I already know the answer but since I'm an overly cautious chicken mom, I figured I would ask anyway. I have a ton of wild oats growing in my yard, however they aren't in the chicken run area. Can I give my chickens some? Should I...
