Hi friends! Wondering what you all would do with this situation. Background: I had a 3 girl flock for about 2 years.. one died and 2 remaining became very close. Besties. One of those died this summer. Added 5 girls (now 2 years old) and while they are one flock during day free ranging at...

Hi friends! I’ve noticed my girls enjoying eating these little white bugs that appear when I run the hose in my planter. Any idea what these are and are they safe for them to eat!!?? Usually chickens know what’s edible so I’m hoping so because they really enjoy them! 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️🐓

Hey everyone! My Dandelion just went through a tough molt.. had a crop issue but that went away BUT now just a week later molting again. She is eating and drinking but tonight I noticed her gasping every few minutes and shaking her head. If course I researched and got all scared of Gapeworm...

Hi everyone. This was a first.. tonight my EE Dandelion who has been molting pretty hard for a few days was on the roost looking down.. trying to settle in for the night. Her head was facing down looking at the light of flashlight I had shining. While shuffling around and looking down clear...

Hi friends… I’m no stranger to this forum. I always am so appreciative of everyone’s help! ♥️ I just lost my Tuna today…a 2 year old EE who seemed to have salpingitis or some other reproductive issue. She laid a strange egg (not lash) but twisted and soft.. membrane hanging from vent last week...

I have a girl “Tuna” who may have salpingitis. Laying twisted egg parts.. saw egg material coming out of vent yesterday. She hasn’t laid a normal egg in weeks. I started amoxi 3 days ago and I’ve been giving her calcium citrate tabs almost daily due to her laying these weird eggs. Today she...

Hey friends.. I’m on round 2 of EYP (I think) with my Mildred. She was sick over a month ago.. got better for a few weeks but feeling sick again. I know this cycle all too well. I’ve done amoxicillian last month and I’m not sure if it helped. I’m reluctant to put her through another...

Hi friends 💕 I have a 3 year old hen who seems to have EYP. I’ve been treating her myself the best I can. She eats.. drinks but I can tell she is declining. I’m not looking for a cure.. I know the end result of this. 💔 I did just get my Baytril in the mail and after some research feeling...

Hi everyone! Does anyone know of a different antibiotic that can help in supportive care for EYP? I did a round of amoxicillian 250 but was wanting to try something else… I’d need to be able to purchase online…

I have a 1.5 year old EE who’s eyes seem more red today than normal. Around the eye… not the actual eye. They just seemed a bit more puffy and brighter red.. to the point that I noticed them. Does this look like an infection? She is fine otherwise.. eating.. drinking.. laying. Could this...

Hi friends. I’m treating a 3 year old hen with fish amoxicillian (250) with what I think is EYP. I did 8 days of 1 pill per day before realizing the amoxi was expired! I stopped giving them to her for 3 days. 😭 She hasn’t improved much. She continues to eat and drink and free range daily but...

Hi friends.. I have a 3 year old with what I’m guessing is EYP or Internal laying. I’ve seen this before. I’m giving her antibiotics (amox) and calicum and she has pushed out some soft deflated twisted type eggs. (4 days ago) nothing since. My question is.. why does she go into laying box...

Not sure If this is correct category for this topic but I’d like to hear what you all do for euthanizing your beloved chickens. Let me start by saying my girls are my pets… I love them but also don’t have vet access for when the day comes to end their suffering. I could drive over an hour to a...

Hi friends, My Mildred hasn’t been herself. Normally head hen and full of sass! Past few weeks I’ve felt she has been ever so slightly off. She still eats, drinks, free ranges for bugs and jumps on me but she has recently laid two small deflated eggs. Inside of them is egg white, no yolk...

Hi friends.. I’m so worried about my Mildred. 💔 I have had a hunch she hasn’t been her 100% self the past few weeks but tonight she took a turn for the worse. In the past few months Mildred has had an off again on again red swollen abdomen but has been laying constantly. She is a 3 year old...

Hey friends! Let’s play boy or girl!? This is my friends chicken who has some clear spurs!! It looks like a girl to me outside of spurs. I told my friend I’d ask the experts! Ha! What do you all think? 😂

Hi friends, Normally I’m posting about my chickens but today I’m needing a little support in regards to me having to euthanize my suffering Guinea pig Chewy. My 4 year old piggy recently became very sick. Respitory I’m assuming. He went downhill super fast. I’m not in a situation where a...

Hey friends.. I’m back.. I swear it’s been one girl after another. My Cream LegBar Magnolia isn’t well. I noticed a few days ago she hasn’t been her usual sassy self. She has been more timid around other girls and myself. She is 1.5 years old. It has been cold here and much darker with time...

Hi friends.. I need some help with my 2 year old Sex Link Mildred. Mildred has always been a sweet girl until she became head hen a little over a year ago when my Margaret passed away. While she is still sweet to people she is a bit of a bully. Lately, past few months Mildred has been...
