    Is this bumblefoot?

    I can’t find a dark spot on the bottom of my silver deathlayer rooster’s foot proving that this is bumblefoot. Is there anything else this blister-like thing could be?

    Is this wry/crook neck?

    This hen is about a year and a half old and was acting completely normally until I just went out to lock my chickens up for the night… I thought she was dead because she was laying down and had her neck and head twisted on upside down. However, a quick search of crook neck said that it’s...

    Firm backside but normal behavior??

    One of my hens has recently (to my knowledge) developed a very firm and noticeably larger abdomen than my other hens. I’ve tried finding out what’s wrong, but I can’t find anything that quite matches her condition. She is acting normal when I’m around, but I’m worried she has something going on...

    Congested and sneezing hen

    One of my spotted sussex hens (13-14 months old) has been very congested and sneezing for four days. I have isolated her from the others as of yesterday and no others are showing signs of sickness. I have a video of her sounds but can’t add it... she isn’t showing any physical signs of sickness...

    Big lump under hen’s vent

    I’ve tried draining her with a needle and then again with a syringe, but nothing came out and it just started bleeding (I thought it was ascitis). However, whenever we feel around the area, it almost feels like another sack is inside of her. Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

    Smoke and chickens

    I have found a thread discussing chickens and air quality, but I would still like to inquire for any guidance specific to my chickens. In the past 24 hours smoke has settled around my house and our air quality is 488 (very hazardous). Right now I’ve locked all of my chickens in their coops and...

    Is this splayed leg or not? PLEASE HELP ASAP

    I need help with one of my newly hatched ayam cemanis. His leg won't come out from this position and he hops everywhere. He hatched yesterday and he peeps whenever I try to help him. It doesn't look like splayed leg, and I really want to help him. CULLING IS NOT AN OPTION. Any help is greatly...

    Irregular pipping?

    My first egg pipped today, but the crack wasn't pushed up much. It's more a hairline crack a couple inches long. Another chick pipped and the crack looks "normal." Should I be concerned? It's day 21 now.

    Oxygen/humidity in lockdown

    So I have a couple questions: 1) In the attached pictures, will the chicks be able to breath as they hatch? Will enough air flow get through? 2) I can't get the humidity in the second incubator over 50%. Is that ok? Should I try harder? I've read anything from not over 55% for lockdown or...

    Early pipping?

    I think I just heard a squeaky peeping noise from one of my incubators! However, it's only day 17. It's the night of day 17, and just as I opened the door to my room, I heard a squeaking that reminded me of a mouse/baby chicken! Is it ok for chicks to pip on the 17th night? Should I go into...

    How to get humidity to 70%?

    I have a Styrofoam DIY incubator and I cannot get my humidity up to 70. I've put so many rags, bowls, etc and can't get it above 65. I finally resorted to putting boiling water in there, getting the humidity to 73, but the temperature rose 10 degrees... not good. I really need help and I'm...

    Temperature in Styrofoam incubator

    So I'm running some mock trials in an incubator I just made, and the temp/humidity is perfect, but once I raise the humidity my temperature drops about 2-4 degrees. I'm hatching 9 ayam cemani and 9 silver deathlayer eggs soon (18 in one incubator at the same time), and I'm wondering if 96-97 is...
