    Chicken sick, away on vacation

    Hi, So our pet sitter has noticed one of our hens, Summer (2-year old Welsummer) looking lethargic, with a floppy comb and lack of appetite - very general symptoms.

    EMERGENCY Impacted crop, starving, can’t go to vet

    Hi, While we were on vacation for two weeks, one of our hens, Snowpea, started acting sick. She turned out to have an impacted crop that’s gone sour. I tried doing the oil and the massages and it’s been building up for so long (3 weeks now) that it’s not moving through. We were gonna see a vet...

One of them recovered in a couple of days, and the other one, Rosie, seemingly looked fine until recently.

    Can Chickens Eat Moldy Cheese?

    We have a big bag of mozzarella cheese that has mold in several clusters throughout the bag that are too hard to pick out. I’m not sure if it is safe and have looked it up. I’ve gotten mixed responses: Some say that it should be fine as long as the birds aren’t too young or old and if fed in...

    What Breed is She?

    We got one of our hens, Iris, a few months ago and she is nearly full-grown. The guy who we got the chickens from said that she was a blue Plymouth Rock with a weird genetic mutation that made her black or something, but I feel like she is a different breed. Any suggestions welcome! photos: top...

    Drastic Decrease in Egg Production

    We have ten adult hens, seven of which should be laying. They free range and get well-balanced feed as well as plenty of treats. Somehow, we end up getting an average of 1-2 eggs a day. We caught a couple sneaky egg-eaters who buried the remains of the egg underneath the bedding, but we make...

    Several days ago one of our juvenile polish hens began scratching her “Afro.” Soon she began scratching out her head feathers and the remaining feathers began to develop a smelly and greasy coating.

    Baby chicks are pecking their momma’s eyes?

    So we put some fertilized eggs under our broody hen, and four of them have hatched so far. The chicks all look relatively healthy and strong, but I’ve noticed some strange behavior going on. When I open up the nesting box to give our new momma some fresh air, the chicks all come out and start...

    So my one of my juvenile polish hens has been scratching her “Afro” and tearing her feathers out. It’s gotten so bad that she has to scratch it every couple of seconds and she looks very irritated. When I checked for mites she didn’t have any, and her Afro feathers were crusty and smelled of...
