    Brahma chick feathering slowly

    I have two almost 1 week old brahma pullets, but Ladybug isn’t feathering as fast as her sister. I know they are slow to feather, but Ladybug’s sister seems to be feathering a lot more normally if that makes any sense? I’m not sure. Ladybugs wings are just much shorter than her sister’s. Not...

    Eggbound hen not recovering?

    Last month, my chicken Clementine started having diarrhea on the daily. None of the other chickens were experiencing diarrhea, so I figured maybe she ate something that didn’t sit right while free ranging. Eventually, she started to molt same time as everyone else is, but her feathers were...

    Bantam Roo in Mainline area PA

    Pike is a friendly and handsome buff Silkie cross roo. He is a great leader to our flock and keeps his ladies safe. He hatched March 24th, so he’s about 3 months old. We need to get rid of him because unfortunately our neighborhood does not allow roosters, but otherwise he’s a happy, healthy...

    When to do Safety Hole???

    I have a chick who internally pipped but no idea when she pipped. She was chirping quite a lot, took a nap, then chirped less. I can still hear her scratching, but she’s been internally pipped for at least 6 hours now with no external progress. Is it okay if I make a safety hole?

    Dewormer = Diarrhea?

    I put my chickens on 3cc per gallon of 10% suspension SafeGuard goat dewormer yesterday, and this morning I noticed one of my girls had diarrhea frozen to the feathers under her vent. Is this a normal/okay symptom? Otherwise she is acting normally and laid an egg before I left for school (formed...

    7 month Chicken molt?

    My chickens are 7 months, nearly eight months old, but all of a sudden they're loosing feathers left and right! The entire coop is covered, as well as every part of the run. Shouldn't they not be molting until 16 months? They're on 18% protein unmedicated feed.

    Chicken wants attention?

    Just curious to hear your thoughts, but lately my smallest girl, Cheryl, has started chasing my feet and pecking them until I pick her up and give her a cuddle. I gave her a very quick cuddle this morning (I have to cuddle her until she relaxes her legs, otherwise she keeps pecking) and while I...

    Go to Bed Empty

    My chickens always go to bed with empty or barely full crops. They’re healthy as can be and poops are normal. When they were younger they used to stuff their crops up but now that their older they free range pretty much all the time but I rarely see their crops full. If I grab one of their crops...
