    Swelling behind/around left eye

    My 4mo Wyandotte pullet has swelling that showed up over a week ago behind/around her left eye. There were no other symptoms: no nasal discharge, no bleeding, no pus, no bubbles in her eye, ear canal clear…. Just swelling that began to spread to the extent that it was causing her eyelid to swell...

    Swelling around the eye

    My 4mo Wyandotte has swelling around her eye. No other symptoms, pictures from early July show no issue. None of the other 4 hens have any swelling or symptoms! What can I do to help her?

    Strange eggs

    Our easter egger has been laying normal beautiful eggs since she first started at the age of 7mo (in December '18). But in the last few weeks, things have changed a bit. Once or twice her shells were very thin and she was only laying every few days. Now she seems to be back to a normal schedule...

    Frostbite Dilemma

    Clipped Wings & Fenced Yard

    I have 4 chickens (2 months old) that I would love to let free range around my fenced in backyard. I live in a neighborhood, so I don't want to risk them getting over the fence & creating a problem, so my plan was to clip their wings. The fence is 4ft high....will they still be able to get over...

    New to BYC, not to chickens :)

    My name is Laura & I'm excited to join this community! I've been a crazy chicken lady since my work as an outdoor educator/wrangler in TX had me ordering 2 dozen baby chicks. I was warned that it wasn't uncommon to lose some chicks in the first couple months (hence ordering 2 dozen!). Apparently...

    Hen or Roo?

    I have been raising 8 chickens with the intent of giving half to my sister (she'll add the 4 I give her to her existing flock of hens). I want to be sure I keep 4 confirmed hens for myself, but I'm not sure on a couple. THEY WILL BE 8 WEEKS OLD IN A FEW DAYS. One in question is a slower...
