    HELP! Dying chicken - clear/light green something (poop?)

    6.5 month old Americauna, never laid an egg. She's been acting off the last few days, not really eating, hiding behind the coop, choosing to not free range. This morning she didn't come out at all. Won't eat anything. Her bestie has been hanging with her the last few days, but he emerges to eat...

    Is this Coccidiosis?

    Found in coop. 5 week old chicks that have just been moved outside. Not sure which one it is - so I split the group in half for the night and will try to figure out from there. Kinda crazy bc these guys have only been outside grazing the last 5-7 days and temps haven’t been above 73 so not...

    Neighbors dog skinned chicken

    Came home to a massacre. My neighbors dog killed 7 of my chickens (and 4/6 of my hens) and severely injured one poor silverudds cockerel. I’m devastated and angry but that’s a post for another day. He’s missing all his back feathers and a few good sized chunks of skin. He’s also covered in...

    RARE FREE COCKERELS FOR EGG COLOR BREEDING- BC Maran, Swedish Isbar (aka Silverudds Blue), Heritage Wellsummer, Sage Egger

    Hello! I lost the gender lottery big time (only 2/10 pullets) - and can't keep 10 roos for 5 hens. All are UNVACCINATED from Alchemist Farm in California. Alchemist is the gold standard for free range, sustainable, organic, chicken-centered breeding chickens. Anyway the 2 Black Copper Marans...

    Ear infection, canker, mites or...?

    She was fine/normal 36 hours ago. Went to give dinner (shes been hiding in the coop) and noticed her ear is HUGE! My first reaction is it was my rooster, hes not always gentle in his love making (please note her comb) but the way its puffy certainly it is infected. I don't think its canker bc...

    OMLET NOT PREDATOR PROOF - DO NOT BUY

    I am so upset right now, I'm posting this here as well as under "predators." I have a large 6'x15' walk in chicken run from Omlet. A HAWK has been able to kill two of our beloved satin bantam chickens through the fencing. I am devastated. Clearly 1/2" or 1/4" hardware cloth is standard for...

    PSA: DO NOT BUY OMLET CHICKEN RUNS

    They are not predator proof. Yesterday one of my 2 satin bantams was found dead (she had been acting slow, so I thought maybe she had died in the corner and something tried to snack on her. Bagged her up and sent her for necropsy in case something was happening with my flock. WHELP - fool me...

    7 month old chicken - nasal discharge, stopped laying, comb isn't as bright... molting? light?

    Gertrude (our 7 month old barred rock) suddenly stopped laying about 3 weeks ago after giving me 6 eggs a week for 6 weeks. At first I thought it was was the lack of sun (we are in CT) but November 1 is a little early to stop, no? So in case of worms I decided to give some DE mixed in food, but...

    Beak injury - is she rubbing it on something?

    This morning is the second time my Plymouth barred rock showed up with a beak injury. Originally I thought maybe she got into a fight with some thing (rat, weasel, chipmunk) but now I think it’s self inflicted. Or at least this time it is. You can see it’s right where the beak meets her head...

    Americauna Pullet ate 24" nylon string

    Rock and a hard place here. I found the chicken when when she had swallowed about 12" of the 24" nylon, braided, impossible to break, thick string. Tied off the end in hopes the vet could remove it. I called the local avian vet, took her in, did an xray, gave her liquids, $300 later I was...

    VERY white inner membrane

    second batch of eggs, first one pipped (and is still peeping inside) this morning about 16 hours ago. HOWEVER the inner membrane is VERY white/parchment like and seems to be getting dryer by the hour. I googled a bit and moistened ever so slightly with a wet warm paper towel but am def a bit...

    Should I remove an egg? 2 Chicks hatched, 2 pipped, but noticed one egg has slightly glossy specs on it (no pip)

    Hi! Need advice! This morning (I put the hatch mat on my brinsea mini) and as if they were waiting for it, 2 hatched and two pipped 12 hours later. HOWEVER one egg in there (no pip) I just noticed has a few glossy mini spots on it which I believe means the egg is no good? Should I leave it? Or...

    Got some eggs - wish us luck!

    Bought a mix of backyard fertilized eggs off of ebay (eek! everywhere else was sold out!) a couple weeks ago and we are 7 days into incubation. Egg colors are a mix so TBD on breeds. Like a lot of people here using quarantine/homeschool to try out hand at keeping chickens!
