    Question about combs

    I have an olive Egger roo whose comb is so big and heavy it hangs to the side and totally blocks his right eye. Is that a problem I should mess with?

    Need advice please

    Hi! We’ve had a broody sitting on 8 eggs for a week. I canceled some and they’ve developed in the last couple days. Others have been laying eggs in the same nest box and I take the new ones out every day. She’s been doing great. Sometime between 9 and 6 today she left the nest box and went one...

    Broody hen

    Hey all! I have a one year old BO who has decided to go broody. She is laying on a hefty stack of eggs as I missed getting them picked up before she started sitting. I don’t want to disturb her so I haven’t done anything with her yet. I’m new to broody hens. Do I need to separate her/the chicks...

    Feeling defeated

    Hey all! I need some (more) advice please. Based on symptoms and how this all started and the fact that some improvement was achieved with Baytril, I believe my flock of 17 have mycoplasma. I treated them for 7 days and at the end all those that were sick seemed (and still do seem) fine. I left...

    Chicken bully

    9 month old Cinnamon Queen is being a bully to my new 4 month old girls. She guards the coop door so they can’t come Out and tonight she had kicked them off their roost to the nest box. I separated her (with one of the other girls) for 24 hours a few days ago but seems worse since then. Can you...

    Advice please??

    Hey all!! Can I please have some advice? My new little girls (about 3.5 months) have been in with the big girls for 2 days. As of this am no issues. They were separate but next to each other through a fence for 2 weeks prior to this. The little girls pretty much keep their distance. When I got...

    How old are these girls?

    Hey all! We picked up some new girls last weekend. They are said to be Americauna and Olive Eggers. She said they were “around 4 months” but they are much smaller than I think They should be for that age. They still peep, no clucks. What do you think?

    Cold weather

    Hey all! Wondering if I need to work about the negative nighttime temps were supposed to have this week? All my birds are cold hardy breeds except my rooster (who’s been pecked bald a bit but is slowly regrowing feathers). They have a heater panel in the coop. I’ve been hesitant to heat the...

    Learn from my oversight!

    Hey all! Lots of you have read and responded to my recent posts-sudden chicken death (very skinny and malnourished) And extreme feather pecking....after all changes/upgrades I have made that should fix behavior issues, I thought today maybe there was a medical issue even though they all seemed...

    Another problem

    Back again! One of my hens feathers tonight gave an awful smell, like stuck on my hands after washing them twice smell. There is come blood around but I don’t see any on her. The blood looks to be a broken toenail on my rooster. Any ideas why she would stink so bad?

    Please help

    So I’ve isolated my bulky chicken (see still pecking post). Apparently the other girls have decided picking the roosters feathers is fun and now he has no wing feathers left. I’ve tried sprays, vicks, toys, treats, etc. it seems to be worse at night. Any suggestions how to keep him safe until I...

    Still pecking

    Hey again! I posted before about one of my Cinnamon Queens eating my roosters chest feathers. I thought maybe this was out of love but it is getting worse and worse. He has several that are just down to the quill and this morning had some bleeding. I put vicks on his chest per the hatchery...

    Gravel?

    Hey all! We’ve had some serious moisture here and the chicken run is a muddy mess. Is gravel okay to use in some spots? I put some down today in the really Squishy spots. There is still Plenty of gravel free mud. I started second guessing tonight wondering if gravel is bad for them?

    Eating rooster feathers

    I finally figured out who is pecking the frizzle roosters feathers. I’m getting concerned as some are down to just the quill (?) and she’s starting to pull them from other spots. I’ve caught her pecking other hens too. They have plenty of logs to play on/peck at, 2 swings, several roosts, a...

    Skinny

    Is it normal for chickens to thin out a bit over the winter? I have 2 girls that seem thinner than they used to. Both of their combs are pinker and scalier than the rest. They don’t feel malnourished around the keel bone and have full food pouches at night. Neither are on the bottom of the pack...

    Molting or bullying?

    Hey all! I currently have a flock of 13 (12 girls and a boy). My girls are a variety of breeds. My rooster is a frizzle. Tank (the roo) has over the last week appeared to lose feathers on his chest. The patch has gotten larger. He’s not bald there (at least not yet) but seems to have downy...
