    Poopie butt

    I dewormed (using goat dewormer Fenbendazole) my girls last month... this red is the only one with a poopie butt. I'm not sure if I should deworm her again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Worms

    Yesterday I treated my ladies for worms. I had seen a similar worm (shown above) the day before. I used Valbazen since I have few that are molting. This picture was taken today. I'm pretty sure that the Valbazen will work on this type of worm, but I'd like to hear from others that have more...

    Rhode Island Red wings

    I have 5 RIR. One looks like her wings are not tight to her body. I don't know if this is normal. Mind you she is the only one in the flock that will fly and she gets up high. I've considered clipping her wings so she doesn't get out of the yard. See pictures below. Thank you for any advice.

    Silkie Rooster?

    I have 2 silkies. I got them both in February. The other silkie doesn't have a comb or wattle. I'm thinking this one is a rooster?

    Cockerel with balance issue

    Salt (3 months old) is having issues with standing and walking. He is off balance and wobbly. We have separated him the girls. They're all fine. He is eating, drinking and 💩 we are thinking he has injured himself or has a neurological issue. Any thoughts? We don't want to put him down unless we...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - Rooster?

    So... this young one, Salt is 3 months old. Definitely the biggest of my flock. The comb and waddle is bigger than the other's. I've also included a picture of Pepper. Is it true that Barred Plymouth Rock roosters tend to be more docile?

    Sold as a Bielefelder

    My two girls have some crazy feathers on top of their heads... I'm sure they're mixed with something but don't know enough about different chicken breeds. They have been very timid/skittish with me since I got them in February. They're good with the other girl's, RIR, Blue Andalusian, Olive...

    Egg bound?

    please tell me is this possible if my chicken is egg bound? She is eating, drinking... but she isn't well. I checked where I believe the eggs come out, but, I don't know if I feel anything. What I've read is that an egg bound chicken can't poop. Is this true? And she is just sick?

    Injury

    Yesterday one of my RIR went after one of my brown leghorn. See the photo of her injury. I was able to clean it up. I'm just wondering if there is anything else I need to do? I'm also attaching a picture of how it looks today. Thanks!

    Rhode Island Red shot out egg

    This evening while we had our girls out, one of our RIR squatted & out came a shell-less egg. We have found the inside of eggs from time to time in the laying boxes, but never witnessed this before. She will be 2 in July. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thank you!

    Broodie Silkie no rooster

    Our Silkie - Babs goes broody often. In the past we have used the confinement way to "break" her. It has been well over 21 days & she continues to hang out in the coop. Sometimes she is sitting on a egg (we have 2 silkies housed together) & sometimes there is nothing under her. She will let us...
