    Just confirming

    I rescued this hen from an animal shelter today. Just confirming what breed she is. I think some kind of Game Hen? Anyone know? If so, I’m pretty unfamiliar with the breed, so I just need to know what to research! She is small, the shelter thought she was about 5 months old.

    Respiratory illness in older hen

    My husband and I are visiting family a couple hours away and they have a hen who is sickly. I think it’s a respiratory illness of some kind as she is sneezing. She also has sickly looking eyes, like you can just tell she feels bad. I’m a little concerned about her feet too, maybe scaly leg mites...

    Hen sneezing

    This evening my Easter Egger hen has started sneezing almost nonstop. At least I think it’s a sneeze - it’s a very loud honking noise! If she was a human I’d definitely call it a sneeze. She also sounds congested when I listen to her chest and I’ve maybe heard a cough or two (I don’t really know...

    Rooster hunched over

    This morning I went to let my two roosters out of their coop and I noticed that one of them was hunched over. His eyes kept closing and he seemed sleepy. I just came home to check on him at lunch and he’s still hunched. He just laid down on the ground and closed his eyes, but then he got back...

I went out and bought some Corid thinking it could be coccidiosis, and when I got back I observed one of the hens...

    Barred Rock... rooster?

    I purchased two Barred Rock chicks from TSC about 13 weeks ago. As time went on I was 90% sure they were both roosters. One of them started crowing about 2 weeks ago and his tail is definitely starting to take the shape of a rooster tail (upright and starting to crest over), so 100% rooster, no...

    Ayam Cemani?

    While searching craigslist for coops I ran across someone in a nearby town selling an Ayam Cemani hen. I’ve been coveting one but I’m curious to know your opinions on whether it is a legit Ayam Cemani, if so is she really a hen, and whether buying a chicken off CL is even a good idea in general...

    Out of town & worried about water

    Hi everyone, I’m leaving to go out of town mid-day Friday and coming home Sunday afternoon. My mom is coming to check on my 7 chicks on Saturday. I have multiple small feeders and they’re going through about 1.5 of those per day, so I know I can leave enough food, and that even though they get...
