I went out to the cooptoday and I noticed my youngest hen laying on the ground. She wouldn’t move for food or when I called her. When I picked her up I put her on her feet and she wouldn’t move from that position. I looked for mites, lice, bound egg, cuts etc...... I found nothing. She looks...
After giving our chicken and a bath because she had a large amount of poop on her back end. We discovered this bulge. Does anyone know what this is? Does anyone know what to do about it? Should I keep her separated from the rest of the flock?
She seems to be OK but I'm not here all day to watch her.
Merica my sweet EE lost her friend and now she the an out cast. I have two older hens that run together and two young babies that run together. Poor thing is always left out. Will she ever join a flock? Will they ever be one flock?
I know I shouldn't care but it would be nice for someone to...
Donald Trump made a visit to my neighborhood today to see all the flooding damage. Then my new laying hen laid her second egg! First Harvey now Donald Trump. Will she get some rest from all this chaos? She keeps laying on the ground and I'm trying to get her to go in the nesting boxes. Every...
Help!!!!!!
I am currently in Houston Texas and being slammed by hurricane Harvey and flooding. My chicken coop is holding its own and my chickens are doing OK. I was wondering if I should put my chickens in a dog crate or bring them inside. They are safe in their coop and getting food and water...
Is it OK to have a buff Orpington rooster and the rest of the flock be Easter Egger hens? I know Orpingtons grow to be large birds and my EEs seem to be smaller. Will this work?
Is the first egg laid from a pullet normally small or can it be normal size? I have an old Easter Egger that has not been laying all spring or summer I pretty much thought she was done laying but the last two days I have gotten 2 light blue eggs. I recently got a Easter egger pullet but she is...
I recently found out one of my chickens is a rooster which I will have to get rid of. That leaves me to only one pullet that is 14-15 weeks old. Will she do OK in a old flock of two old hens? I put all of them together even the Roo last weekend and they seem to be doing ok. The old hens just...
I was told on the site that my 14 week old buff Orpington was a Cockerel. Two days later it started to "kind of" crow and has been crowing since. This weekend it started to peck at me and be more aggressive after I put it and my other pullet in the main coop with the bigger hens. Which is...
Recently my buff orpington has started to peck and charge at me. He who I thought until recently was a she. He is 13 weeks old and is starting to become aggressive. He has been very sweet until a few days ago. I have been on the fence about keeping him but now I feel like he is not what I want...
This is black beauty. Sex unknown. It is the Black chick in the pics. One month I swear it's a Roo then next month a hen. The wait is killing me. Please help! What do you think? Do I just have a huge hen or a Roo?
