Hello,
Today I noticed a small, pinkish lump on one of my hens’ eyes. It’s only on her right eye and none of my other birds have it. There’s no bubbling coming from the eye, nor is there any gunk coming from it. I haven’t noticed any unusual behavior from her and it’s definitely not a result of...
Hi everyone,
So, today I was cleaning the coops and after I finished, I noticed one of my hens’ poops looked like this: The thing is, she has been separated for a while now due to other reasons and I’m almost 100% sure no parasites were in her poo earlier today. Does anyone know what these...
Hello,
So, I’ve had my chickens for just over a year and we’ve almost always had a bumblefoot issue. I’ve posted about it before and ended up scrapping the old coop and making a new one. The new one is bigger and has a solid floor (the main difference). This new one has been around for a few...
My rooster’s earlobes are discolored. I tried to search about it and I think it’s a natural thing. Like, if they’re dirty or something. I just want to make sure it’s nothing to worry about.
One of my hen’s crown’s has a weird bulbous thing on the back of it. I think it was caused by Rooster...
One if my hens has really bad bumble on both feet and I’m kinda worried. The foot I’m worried about has the middle toe swollen and the main pad swollen. I can also see black stuff under her foot. She is limping really badly (I’ve noticed her hopping instead of walking), but she doesn’t let that...
I have 4 hens and a roo who (unfortunately) have to be penned up basically all day because of my dog and city ordinances. Anyways, they’re pen is dirt and for their coop, we used a palette as the flooring. I’ve had one or two cases of bumble in the past, but it hasn’t really been a problem...
I woke up to see my 2 boys have blood on them. They’re 7 months old, litter mates, and are not neutered. One had blood on his rump, the other had his balls and penis bleeding. I assume he tried to mount the other boy and he didn’t like it. Was this a sign of aggression or just them showing...
(When he was sick)So, my rooster was extremely sick for probably around a month. It got so bad that his eyes were swollen shut, lots of nasal and eye discharge, no crowing, etc. We never figured out what illness he had, but he got better with lots of tlc, electrolytes, and 3 shots of Tylan 50...
One of my EEs layed a humongous egg today! First pic is between the size egg she normally is, and the second pic is compare to my Leghorn girl. I’m guessing the EE is around a year old and this is the first time she’s done this.
My rooster is sick. He barely crows, wattles are swollen, lots of nasal drainage, some eye drainage, recently he lacks an appetite, and earlier this morning he started wheezing really loudly. I’ve been told it’s an upper respiratory infection, and I’ve been treating him with VetRX and adding...
I only got 1 reply when I posted this under the behaviors section, so I copied and pasted it to here: My White Leghorn roo (about 9 months old) has not been crowing as much as is usual of him. He normally crows every 2-3 hours about 7 times in succession, but for the past couple of days, he’s...
One of my baby girls recently got sick, but seems to be doing better (and if all goes well will return to the flock tomorrow) *knock on wood*.I have no clue what she was sick with (here’s the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wheezing-hen.1222554/ ) and I only treated her with...
My White Leghorn roo (about 9 months old) has not been crowing as much as is usual of him. He normally crows every 2-3 hours about 7 times in succession, but for the past couple of days, he’s only done like 2 chains of crowing all day. The actual sound of his crows is sounding altered too. Is...
I have tried to do research on this, but there is such a varying response. Should I get turkeys? I already have chickens (including a roo) and one of my neighbors complained about the crowing. If I get turkeys, not sure if I’ll end up with a tom or not, would it annoy those neighbors too? I’m...
One of my hens started sort of wheezing today. As far as I know, it just started. It kinda sounds like a squeaky chair and every now and then she’ll sneeze too, but the sneezes are sort of wet sounding. I have a video of the wheezing (but not the sneezing), however I can’t upload it in this...

I just got 2 new girls today and I think they’re both Ameraucanas, but I’m not sure.
The white and tan hen lays blue eggs, but the gray and tan one hasn’t layed an egg since I got them.
