One of my chickens recently started having poop that looked like this (sorry for the gross picture) and I just wanted to make sure everything is ok. Everyone is eating and drinking well and no one is acting sick.
I'm having the worst luck with my chickens. Earlier this summer lost all but one to an attack, took in a chicken from my mom and bought 3 pullets. The pullets had coccidiosis and I was able to take care of it as well as save the last of my original flock from the injuries she sustained from the...
Earlier this summer I lost 2 of my 3 hens to an attack and managed to help the third one's injuries heal. I bought 3 new pullets to replace the ones I lost (only allowed a small flock in my city). Right away they had bloody stool issues so I gave them medicine for coccidiosis and managed to pull...
My mom had a Black Copper Marans that she thought was being badly picked on and asked if I could take it. I agreed and brought her home. She is missing half her feathers. I have been trying to integrate her into the flock but turns out the Marans is the one ripping out her own feathers and mean...
A few weeks ago something got in my yard and killed 2 of my chickens and injured a third (I only had 4). I bought 3 pullets right after who of course immediately got coccidiosis. I was so busy treating that and my injured Orpington and building a new deluxe run that I didnt really pay too much...
After losing half my flock to a fox over the weekend, I picked up 3 pullets today. The Gold Laced Wyandotte will not let me photograph it. But I was able to get the Easter Egger and Brahma. Just seeing if they look like girls. The Brahma was hen pecked a bit and is missing lots of feathers on...
Something came into my yard and killed 2 of my 4 chickens and injured another. My 4th hen was new and in a separate run and was unharmed.
My Orpington has several puncture marks on her back. We cleaned then out with saline solution and put Neosporin on her wounds (hence her shiny skin in the...
I lost my sweet Buff Brahma yesterday. I only had 4 chickens, all around 6 months old. Late last week I noticed my Brahma was off by herself and laying around more. I thought that maybe she was getting ready to start laying soon even though her comb hadn't started to get red. Over the weekend...
My Buff Orpington is 20 weeks and her comb and wattles have gotten bigger but are still pink. Her and my Welsummer have been really scratching around in the bark in my flower beds but as my BO still hasn't reddened up and my Welsummer is only 16 weeks (I also have a Buff Brahma and a Salmon...
My sister got a Salmon Faverolles chick 3 weeks ago and when it got it's wing feather we were sure it was a girl but now we have no idea. It's feathers are coming in all spotty. Dark grey, brown and cream and it looks so strange. I have a 3 month old Faverolles pullet that feather normally but...
My 1st Buff Orpington turned out to be a roo and I was able to trade him for a pullet the lady had. I am not 100% on her age but she's got to be around 14 weeks. Her comb and wattles have had no color until this week but the temps are now around 100 degrees. I've noticed her comb and wattle have...
I'm pretty sure my Welsummer is female and the coloring on my Faverolles seem right. Just want to see if everyone is looking female so far. Faverolle

My 7 week old Buff Orpington had a small injury on her beak that had almost healed but this afternoon she got pretty pecked up by our Lavender a Orpington cockerel. The Lavender went to his new home tonight and I've got my Buff isolated so she won't get pecked at any further. What can I do to...
My Buff Orpington chick is 6 weeks old and has been outside in the coop for about 2 days. Today I noticed one of her ears looks a little swollen. Not sure what's going on. Any help would be great.
My sister bought a Copper Marans chick and bought me a little Faverolle chick to add to the chicks I have as one turned out to be a cockerel. Well her Marans got sick so we took it back to the lady and traded for a new one. Being new to chickens and stupid I put the Faverolle in with my Buff...
So far I know for sure my Lavender Orpington is a cockerel but I'm curious about my Buff Orpington. I know it's a bit young. Only 4 weeks old. My Lavender is super rooish, gangly, huge long legs, stands upright, large light pink comb, slow to feather so compared to that my Buff is quite the...
