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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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. There are no injuries, cuts, bruises etc. He gets around good limping, eating and drinking fine. Should I keep him contained for...
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...
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...
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...
Anyone know what breed this little guy is? I was thinking old English game bantam maybe? :) he’s got dark red feathers on his back near the start of his tail feathers.
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...
Hi!
So I just had 3 broody hens, they together, hatched 3 babies (plus 4 I hatched in the incubator due to them stopping sitting on them at 15 days).
Two of those same hens are broody again, plus another. So 3 more broodys.
I currently have 30 chickens, and am just about at my limit. So my...
Hi all.
So a couple of my hens have started coughing / sneezing. There is no eye or nasal discharge. They are all eating, drinking and laying normally. The one hen tonight started rattling when breathing (see video). Again, no swelling or discharge anywhere.
Any ideas what this could be?
I...

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...
Hi!
These are a few of my babies that my broodys hatched. They are just about 8 weeks now. Wondering if anyone has any guesses on what they may be?! :)
First photo is #1
Second and third photos are chick #2
And the fourth is chick #3 (bad photo as it was hiding lol)
The fourth photo I’m...
