    Chicken wheezing and sneezing but otherwise fine

    One of our chickens has been sneezing for a while now it seems and a couple weeks ago I noticed she was wheezing when she breathes; it’s sounds raspy like when you have a chest cold. I took a video today and she sounds worse than usual: However, she's otherwise acting totally normal, she's not...

    Sour Crop Question

    Would it be bad to introduce multiple different treatments at once for sour crop? One of our chickens had a crop blockage last year and eventually recovered after expensive vet treatment and multiple times a day of massages and medication and I think she came out of it with a slow crop...

    Thin Molting Hen with Squishy Crop

    We just had our first snow of the winter and our welsummer, Penny, is still in the middle of molting. Our other chickens have almost entirely grown in their new feathers, but hers are still scraggly. She can't even fly up to roost at night (she'll try but just crash her face or neck into the...

    Light Marans eggs?

    We recently got a Marans and we didn't think she was laying anything because we weren't getting any really dark eggs. But since we've been getting 4 eggs from 4 chickens multiple days over the past couple of weeks, it seems reasonable to conclude she's been laying some of the eggs we thought...

    How to keep chickens out of barn short of physically blocking it off?

    We have goats and naturally they have a barn to sleep in. Normally, we just put in fresh straw whenever it starts getting too dirty and poopy, so it's usually pretty clean and doesn't smell terrible. We intended for our chickens to be free range, but they love going into the barn. The problem...

    What breed laid this egg?

    One of our hens, a Barnevelder, has been laying eggs almost every day for the past few weeks. Today we got an egg that looks different. It's lighter an much more spotty (some of her eggs have been a little spotty but not this much). As far as we're aware, our Plymouth Rock hasn't laid any eggs...

    We got our first egg!

    I just wanted to share because this is exciting! It's probably from our Barnevelder, Beatrice.

    Could we have a rooster?

    We have a splash Marans who's supposedly a hen, but we're becoming concerned that she may in fact be a rooster. She's very sweet and we got her when she was probably 10+ weeks old. She's grown much faster than our other hens and her comb and wattles have grown especially fast (especially...

    Hi

    Hi everyone! I'm brand new to owning chickens so I figured I'll probably be on here a lot so I might as well introduce myself. We just bought our first 3 pullets this morning: a Plymouth Rock, an Araucana, and a Barnevelder. So far they seem to be getting along well. They're all about...
