Hello, We have a pullet who is approximately 7 weeks old and has something wrong with its chest. I've noticed it for a while and it continues to worsen. It feel and looks like a balloon on the front of her chest. She has difficulty walking and nearly gets trampled over by the other chicks. Any...

Hey everyone! I have a chicken with feathers on it's rear. Hopefully you can see that I'm talking about. They are completely missing in some spots and thinned in others. Does anyone know what can cause this? TIA!

We recently got a few new girls from a friend who was downsizing her flock. In the last 8 days, we've gotten 6 eggs. None of our pullets are old enough the lay yet so this has been so this has been quite exciting around our place! All of the eggs have been the exact same color and size so I'm...

We got 13 chicks a week and a half ago. A couple died soon after bringing them home so we went and got a couple more. This one is suppose to be a New Hampshire Red but it looks different than the New Hampshire Red we already had (and is about twice it's size! HOPING it's a pullet!) It's head is...

Hello to all you lovely chicken lovers! We are brand new to the chicken world and were beyond excited when we brought 13 hens home from our local co-op on Friday! We're getting along good except I'm afraid a couple won't make it. They just lay around without eating or drinking unless I help...
