    Sick bird, fluffed up?

    Hi! My girl nugget here, isn't feeling so hot. She's been sort of "slow" for the last 2 weeks or so. She's about 3 years old, and a RIR - so I know lifespan may be shorter. Fairly pale comb. Still eating, excited for treats, etc. But when she's not eating she's off with the crew just...

    Prolapse / lash egg...any coming back?

    Hi, came out to the coop to find this. She's about 3 years old - looks to be a prolapse due to lash egg. The internals are actually stuck inside the lash egg. I tried to gently remove the lash egg to put the prolapse back in, but it's stuck around her insides. Afraid to cut into egg to release...

    Hen scared of rooster? (Injured bird)

    Hi! I made another thread about my limping hen. I've been treating her and she's doing okay - but now I'm concerned that's she's scared of my rooster. Is this a thing? I noticed when he gets around her - only her - he seems to want to grab her and just chase her around...(maybe because he knows...

    Limping Chicken

    Hi all, I have this black sexlink... one our favorite girls - Amelia. She is about 2 years old and quite high up on the pecking order. She started limping yesterday, so we brought her in - gave her a little spa day, bath, towel dry, etc. We looked her over really well - no signs of bumble, no...

    Egg Bound? Yellow watery poo...

    Hi! This is Ms. Ethel. She’s one of my oldest birds (2 years), and she hasn’t been feeling good... for about 12-18 hours I would guess. She was fine this morning (Friday), I think. I went out earlier and she jumped into the nest box about 4 PM which is abnormal for her. She usually lays in the...

    Spur Open Wound - Filled with dirt

    Hi everyone. So I have a hen who was ripped open by my roosters spur. I saw it happen and immediately grabbed her (first pic). I had to go to the store to buy some first aid supplies, and then couldn’t catch her again. That night when she went to roost I grabbed her and sprayed the wound super...

    Bantam breed?

    Hi! This is my little bantam, who my Mom has decided to call Sparrow lol. Not entirely sure on her breed. My thought was red breasted OEGB? She is tiny. About a third the size of my sebright hen.

    Red foot? Bumble foot? Something else?

    Hi! I have a roo who is about a year old, who has some redness and inflammation on his foot. He doesn’t favor it, or limp, and it doesn’t seem to bother him. I was able to examine it without issue, and apply oil with no problems. In the photo you can see where his feathers would be (he’s a...

    Early Bumblefoot?

    Hi! I have this little sebright roo, who began limping two days ago. Today he’s not putting hardly any weight on his left leg, and not moving around all that much. I thought I had ruled out bumblefoot, but it’s hard to say. Some of his pads look a little puffy / pink, and wondering if this...

    Limping chicken?!

    Hi! so I have this little bantam roo, who has been limping for the past two days. (See video) Last night i checked him out and didn’t feel any warmness, or swelling.

    Scalp Leg Mites?

    Hi everyone! I was out giving all my birds a few snacks, and took some photos of my rooster. His legs have always looked a little off to me, but I noticed that his scales look a bit raised. Wondering if this could possibly be scaly leg mites? I haven’t noticed any other symptoms on him or any...

    Yolk sac “cord” problem

    Hi! So last night my 4th chick hatched from the incubator. When I went and looked, there was a bloody mess in the water channels, and just everywhere. I thought for sure this little one was dying. Fast forward to today... and baby seems to be doing okay. It’s alert and walking around, but it’s...

    Broody Hen Baby Died

    Hi all, So my broody hen was on 8 eggs total, all of which were developing... I decided to take 5 and put them in the incubator. One of the eggs she was on hatched & then she seemed uninterested in sitting anymore on the others, so I took the other two and also placed them in the incubator...

    Teeny Tiny Egg in Poop?!

    I found this super super tiny egg, outside of the coop in / with a pile of poop. Is this normal? Could one of my hens been egg bound? They are all acting just fine, no weird behaviors. In a year in a half I have never ever gotten one this small. It’s about half the size of a typical bantam egg...

    Babies! Gender guesses? :)

    Hi! I posted a thread previously with only a few of my hatched babies, but here’s a bunch more photos. Anyone have guesses on these little ones? They’re all just about 8 weeks. The bantams in the first photo I believe are both roo’s - but one has a single comb and the other pea comb, I think...
