    Not sure what is going on...need some advice

    Hi everyone. I need a little advice regarding a hen acting strangely. I lost a 5-year old Australorp earlier this week due to an unknown illness. We took her to the vet because we thought she had an infection from a broken egg inside. She had a yellowy discharge for a day and a half but she...

    Broken egg in older hen

    My four-year old Australorp hasn't laid an egg since molting a few months ago. She was fine this morning but I just found her motionless on the side of the house crouched down by what appears to be a shell-less egg. She is lying very still and not responding to us at all. I've attached a few...

    Australorp, 4 weeks old

    Hi, I am pretty sure we have a little fella here, but I just wanted to check and see. At four weeks old I know it's a little early, but to me this looks like a little roo. Does anyone see pullet? If I have to rehome, I want to start looking now.

    Chick behaving strangely

    We have been down to two chickens for a little while :eek: so yesterday we brought home two Easter Egger chicks and two Austrolorps. One of the Easter Eggers has been acting strangely every since we got her home. She was probably hatched on Tuesday. When they came home yesterday, I helped them...

    Brinsea starting height

    So, I'm going to try the Brinsea Ecoglow Safety 600 this time instead of a heat lamp with day-old chicks, who are coming home Friday. Can anyone recommend a good starting height for the brooder panel for standard breeds (Barred Rock, Australorp)? The instructions say, "As a guide, for bantam...

    Eye infection?

    Hi, and thank you in advance to anyone who can help. I went out this morning and this poor girl has what appears to be an eye infection. I've been calling around but the earliest I can get her to any vet in my area is 10 days from now. I even called the veterinary emergency but they said they're...

    Found chicken

    My daughter found this chicken in the corner of a busy street so we brought it home and we're trying to figure out what to do with it. It looks kind of like our Austrolorps but has a rose comb. Gender? Breed? What is this chicken?

    Bulge between chick's legs

    Hi everyone, I have two five-week old Austrolorp chicks and I noticed that one of them has a bulge between her legs that the other one doesn't have. She is otherwise completely fine, she runs and eats and forages and is pooping fine. Any idea why she may have this?

    Hello from California

    Hi just a quick hello from Sacramento. One of my daughters developed an interest in raising chickens after spending some time last year on a nearby farm. We live in town but we are allowed to have chickens here, so we just got our first chicks - one Buff Orpington and two Austrolorps, and we are...

    Austrolorp Stance?

    Hi, I have two 4 week old Austrolorp chicks. Neither one has discernible waddles or pink combs, but one stands with the tail up and one with the tail down. Is this typical for two pullets? Or does the different stance suggest one is a rooster? These are my first chicks ever...[/IMG]
