    What is she doing?

    My 3 year old olive egger hen is opening her mouth when she’s breathing. There is no rattle. It almost sounds like a click when she’s breathing. I can’t attach a video to show what she’s doing. But when she breathes it looks like this. She hasn’t laid in about 10 days. Her comb is red. I can...

    Rattling lungs

    I have been fighting double bumblefoot in this 3 year old polish. One is healed the other is been a battle. I gave her a dose of antibiotic last night after soaking her and today her lungs are rattling. I’m not sure if she aspirated the meds or what. She sounds horrible. It came out of nowhere...

    Bumblefoot

    I have a 3 year old polish hen while treating my flock for lice found she has bumblefoot. I have been soaking, wrapping all the things to no avail. It also stresses her to the point I feel its contributing her not healing. The swelling in mostly on the top between her toes. She can walk and is...

    Huge eggs.

    My one year old EE hen maybe weekly and bi weekly lays these HUGE double yolk eggs. Tonight she was majorly stressed and I thought it was the heat as it went from 40 to 80 In SW Idaho in 5 minutes. I was worried. 30 minutes later she comes out of the coop and I find this. I’ve been told within...

    Huge egg

    My 1 year old Easter egger hen laid this today. I will say it’s maybe her 4th one in the year I’ve had her. She’s the one in the front of the pic. Should I be concerned? She is a bigger hen…bigger than all of mine and in the 6 years I’ve had chickens I had one barred rock lay one like this one...

    Hen wobbly

    I have an approx one year old EE hen who was absolutely fine at noon today. Checked the nesting box and noticed she laid an egg. I didn’t see her in the run. I found her in the coop sitting in the corner alone. She doesn’t ever do that. She is quite an anxious hen and pretty much at the bottom...

    Any thoughts?

    She has the Yellowest legs I’ve ever seen and her feet are webbed. It’s so odd.

    Feather pulling.

    I have 4 16 week old pullets all raised together. Over the last few days I notice one has lost all of its tail feathers. I have found the culprit. Her flock mate ( 2nd pick ) she’s doing it to all of them. I see trying to be the top of the pecking order. How can I stop this? I don’t see blood or...

    What is this?!?!

    Mean polish.

    I have three older hens. One polish was bullied but has made her way and is good in the pecking order. I got 4 chicks in March. Let them into the run with the older hens after a few weeks of separating them in the run in a tractor. The polish is now the bully. She goes after them any chance she...

    Curling toe

    She’s two years old and i just noticed this. Her other foot does it as well but not as bad. It doesn’t affect her at all but it’s odd. She’s a white crested black polish hen I’ve raised since she was a few days old.

    5 week check in.

    I think I have 3 cockerels out of the 4. Slow to feather. The first one I’m positive is a roo. Still early. EE type. They also seem smaller than others their age. Help. I know I’m annoying with this. Just trying to make preparations.

    Pecking Order.

    I have two older hens, speckled Sussex and Barred Rock. Also one white crested polish. She’s about 2. Older ones nearly 6. Had 5 but lost 2 to a skunk last august. The sussex really beats up on the polish. She’s definitely at the bottom. The barred rock tolerates the polish. Lately the polish...

    Look at all those chickens!

    4 week old EE chicks. I think 2 may be roos. Hard at this age and this type of chicken. Super cute though. Always fun at this age. One of them bites though 😂

    It’s a roo huh.

    I bought 4 pullets. Pretty sure I have two Roos. Pics aren’t great. The first one I’m holding is an EE. That comb is big. The second one is an Ameraucana. Big feet. Stands tall. Bites. I know it hard to tell so soon especially with these types of birds. I’ll rehome them. I have bad luck buying...

    Bully hen.

    I lost two hens last week to a predator. One was of my original group of 3 someone was giving away. The other one was of 2 added later. The younger polish is being bullied relentlessly by one of the originals. The polish has always been picked on more but now she is the focus of it from one...
