    Help: Adult laying hen with swollen pink areas on feet and legs

    Snowy's legs are normally yellow with just a bit of pink. She now has splotchy pink everywhere and swelling between her toes. There is a small black bumble on one foot (maybe 1 centimeter in size) - she's walking, but whimpering and maybe some limping. QUESTION #1: Is the pink/swelling on her...

    Bloody yolk - not an emergency

    Good evening! We just cracked open a giant double yolk egg, only to find that the whites were a dark red. It smells faintly of blood. We collected this egg a few weeks ago, and nobody seems sick or dying. Does anybody have any ideas? I know the internet says not a problem, but we trust...

    Good afternoon! This post might belong in the hatching section, but I am not certain. I haven't found any other articles that address this specifically. We have a broody hen that hatched 4 chicks successfully. The fifth egg had pipped and everything was going well, but she got off the nest...

    Eye infection? Affecting the wattles?

    Hey everyone, So we have a 5 week old chick with a terrible eye infection. Will only eat and drink if we bring the food right up to the face. Otherwise just sleeps. It seems to be getting better, but it appears that whatever this is, it is also affecting the wattles- they have practically...

    Baby chick eye infection (with pic)

    Hey everyone, Can anyone tell us what is likely wrong with her eye? We are unsure what to do anymore. This little girl has been struggling with this eye problem now for a almost a week. We started by treating her with polysporin eye drops, which didn't seem to do anything. (Couldn't even...

    Is my baby chick injured, or just sore?

    We are not super new to chicken raising, but we have never had this problem: one of our baby chicks keep ripping out its tail down/ feathers and peeping loudly. It is also not letting any other baby chicks near it. More to the story: We have a bunch of day-olds and a few of them had pasty...
