    What’s wrong with my chicken?

    One of my hens hasn’t been laying for awhile. She’s maybe a little over 2 years old and has been a very good layer. I first noticed she wasn’t doing well about 2 months ago. I thought that she was maybe internally laying and there isn’t much you can do about it so I was just waiting to see what...

    Possible egg peritonitis?

    My 2 year old RIR has a slightly swollen abdomen. She is still moving around and actively eating and drinking. She looks fine but she does seem to be acting like she wants to lay an egg, not hunkered down or pushing or anything but just wanting to nest. She is just a pretty regular layer and I...

    Bantam help! D’Uccle has trouble laying eggs.

    I have a small bantam d’Uccle who is a year old and just recently started laying her eggs. She has extreme difficulty pushing them out. It causes her a lot of stress and energy and time to lay an egg. She makes a little exasperated squeak noise with every push. It’s heartbreaking to watch her...

    Broken rooster toe

    One of my roosters broke his toe earlier this week. As you can see it’s not looking very good. Do I need to take him to the vet?

    10 chickens: 4 roosters 6 hens (success!!!)

    Hello BYC! So-- I've been waiting to post about this for awhile now because I didn't want to jinx it! But I finally think I can share my story: I ended up with only 2 hens from an original 6 last April. I proceeded to get 6 more chicks and hatched 2 'legacy' chickens of my own (between March...

    Heritage Rhode Island Red cockerel (N. N. California)

    I have a beautiful Heritage Rhode Island Red cockerel from Ideal Poultry. Hatched around March 21 (around 14 weeks at time of posting). He would be great for breeding and possibly even showing. Very healthy and raised around other chickens of both sexes and all ages and sizes. I have too many...

    Guess it's time for me to introduce myself offically!

    Hello BYC! I'm Abby. I could write the longest story about how I ended up with chickens, but I am going to try to keep it shorter and say that there were chickens when I moved into my current house a little over 2 years ago. Before I lived here, I didn't really like chickens, which now seems...

    Rooster: Broken hip/Upper thigh

    My roo has a broken hip or upper thigh. There is a large lump on his back where the leg attaches to his side. He can almost walk but can't put weight on the leg. I am not wanting to put him down, despite him being a jerk. But I don't know how to set the leg so that he will be able to walk again...

    **[Update: Found]** Re: Looking for a Silver-Grey Dorking pullet...

    Hello BYC Members! I am looking for one Silver-Grey Dorking pullet to replace a very sweet girl I lost last year. I have not been able to find any locally, or online. It must be female, as I already have a rooster and my flock is too small for more than one boy. It doesn't matter to me if she is...
