Hello, I'm currently on day 21 of lockdown, and currently there is one chick that pipped around 14 hours ago, and it hasn't made any progress in around 6 hours. It was struggling with no success a while ago, and now it seems to have given up. It is currently panting and it's beak is covered in a...
Hiya, so my broody Serama frizzle is currently laying on 7 eggs. I candled them for signs of development at day 17, and they were all right on track. It is now day 22, and I hear no peeping, and there are currently no pips, any advice?
Hi y'all, I recently got 2 3 month old serama chickens (hen and roo) and today I noticed a rather large tubular thing in one of their droppings (not sure which). It appears to be a worm, but it's not moving. Neither of the birds are acting lethargic, except for the hen having some slightly...
Earlier today I let my two hens out of their coop to free range. then later my hound started barking frantically at the window, so i took a peek outside and saw a dog in the yard. i ran outside to chase him away so it wouldn't hurt my girls, but unfortunately it had already killed them. I later...
Hi all, I recently posted a thread regarding my lethargic hen ( Quack ). She was walking very slowly if walking at all, her poops were runny and yellow, she had no appetite and she just seemed off. The next day she seemed much better, but we took her to the vet anyway. The vet said that it was...
Today my red sex link hen has been acting rather lethargic. She has been trying to lay an egg all day but couldn't, she hasn't been eating any of her favorite treats ( she is usually the pushy one of our three hens ), and she is walking very slowly if walking at all. Also, her poops are watery...
Today I noticed that my 1 year old white leghorn hen has started limping. She seems to be trying not to walk a lot. She is eating and drinking normally, she layed a healthy egg today.
Does anyone know what this might be?
There is a rooster that lives a little less than a mile from my house, that appears to live in a 4x4" square, poorly made pen with a tarp like fixture on top. Every time that I go by this house, he is in that pen. Yesterday it was raining heavily, but he was still in that pen. He seems to REALLY...
My hen has a round scabby spot on each of her feet. There is no swelling. She doesn't seem to be in any discomfort. One of my other hens have something similar. she has had these scabs for 1-2 months. Is this bumble foot?
I have noticed that my hen's head has been balding. I don't think it is from other chickens pecking her, because she is at the top of the pecking order.
My ten month old easter egger hen seems to be having eyesight problems. Sometimes if I put one of her favorite treats right in front of her, she doesn't even acknowledge that it's there, and if she tries peck at a seed on the ground, she keeps missing.
Hi, I am not sure where to post this question but I'll try here:). I have been interested in rescuing a battery hen, but I can't find anywhere that I can get one. I live in wilmington, North Carolina. I would like to rescue one from from a factory farm.
Our pullet just Laid two soft shells in the last hour and a double yolk this a.m. Is this ok? She seems ok but she may have eaten some morning glories. Would they affect her egg laying?
I have some wild morning glories growing in the backyard that I have been meaning to get rid of. My hen, peep, has been spending a lot of today in the backyard. She is walking very slowly and when I was offering the other girls a treat, she did not try to get some. Is this a problem? If it...
Today all of my hens laid eggs, but at the end of the day I found the weirdest soft egg ever. When I saw this bizarre soft egg I sliced it open only to see another soft egg inside of it. When I cut that one open I discovered that the yolk looked like it was scrambled and the white stayed...
