    Eye injury healing closed

    Hi all! I have a chicken who had a bad eye injury from what I suspect was a pecking issue. There was a lot of pus and it was a long road of opthalmic antibiotic ointment and isolation.

    Hello all! I have two bantam chicks, appx 3.months old. I remember my old bantam going thru a sort of puberty sound, where I thought maybe she had a respiratory problem. But then turned out just to be, well, a chicken. These two are both eating and acting normal, no excessive discharge from...

    Egg song from chick

    Uhm, I just heard my 3 month old bantam doing the very distinct egg song noise. You know, the "cluck cluck cluck cluck CUU-LUCK" She's obviously too young to lay, and her sister is the same age so there is nowhere to have heard that. What's up? Also, what do you think of my written...

    Missing feather on 5 week chick

    Hey all. My cochin Bantam has some missing feather by her ear. The other side has a bald spot but not as large. I didn't notice this on her yesterday. Any ideas? She has a sister same age. Sister is a little more dominant but there definitely hasn't been any aggression.

    Baby chicks bowing up to eachother

    Hi all! I have two Bantams, theoretically pulleys, but I have my suspicions. They get along great in general, but the last week or so they've been bowing up to eachother.

    Chicken sits in nest all day

    Hey guys! So I just have one chicken, Nugget. She is indoors, with time outside for play/dust bathing/grazing. The last few days she hasn't laid an egg but has been VERY schreechy whenever anyone goes near. Spends most of her time in her box. She looks like she's trying to lay, but she never...

    Chicken suddenly has very small poop

    My girls always had normal poop, but lately her poo is very small, and maybe even a little dry. I don't think she's eating as much as usual but she doesn't seem unhealthy. Any ideas?
