    Bubbly eye

    I have a 19 week old pullet that has a bubbly eye. I noticed she had dirt around here eye yesterday so I flushed the eye out. I figured she’d be back to normal today as it happened pretty early yesterday but it’s still bubbly. She doesn’t have any other symptoms. It’s not swollen there’s no nose...

    Alchemist farm line moss egger

    I got 2 moss eggers from alchemist farm. Francesca said stance is usually how to tell them apart but that’s not really helping me. They are both 6 weeks old. The white one is bigger but s/he hatched a day earlier than the grey and they both had “female” wing feathers at a day old. Not sure if...

    Double silver laced barnevelder 6 weeks

    I have 2 dsl barnevelder chicks at 6 weeks old now. They were bred to be 3/4 size. I checked their wings at a day old and they were opposites so I’m hoping I have a pair. They are both very sweet but the smaller one that had the “male” feather quills does seem a bit jumpy and take chargey. The...

    4 week old black copper marans

    This is my first time with BCM and I only have one so nothing to compare exactly. S/he is very shy but the legs and comb/wattle got me leaning towards male. When s/he hatched the comb and wattle were about the same size as now but they were yellow now s/he’s sporting a very fleshy pink color. I...

    Is this normal?

    I’ve had chickens lay down and stretch like this for a second or 2 but I’ve never had a bird lay out like this. Is this a normal posture or should I be worried? She has had a little diarrhea but it seems to be within the normal scope. I’m just being extra cautious as she’s new.

    Rescue chicken

    She was found a few days ago in not awesome shape and we couldn’t find an owner so I took her in. She seems docile enough and has been getting on well enough with my other girls but I have no idea what breed she is. She could be a mix she definitely doesn’t look like she’s been well taken care...

    Little black comb spots

    This morning when I let the girls out I noticed that my barred rock and australorp both had little black spots on their combs and wattles. Last night was our first 50 degree night and I haven’t added any extra bedding yet because days are still getting up to 90 and they’re all just about old...

    How can I keep chickens out of my garden?

    I have a 4ft fenced in garden. So far my pullets have snuck through the pickets and jumped over it. I’m not so concerned with the sneaking through since they’re not fully grown yet and my oldest pullet is starting to have trouble fitting but I can’t have them jumping in. They have already...

    Feed switch question

    My older chicks are ready to switch to grower feed but they are living with younger chicks. Should I wait 2 weeks for the younger ones to be ready before switching? Will it hurt the younger ones systems if I just switch them all now? Or will it stunt or have any other negative effect on my older...

    5 week australorp

    My australorp chick is now 5 weeks old. I’ve definitely seen her on sentry duty and she does a lot of neck stretches that look like she’s trying to take a closer look. She acts different enough from the others that I am still suspicious. She’s got a little bit of a comb but no sign of a wattle...

    Gaping chick

    Please help! My 3 week old australorp started stretching her neck out and opening her mouth. It almost looks like she’s going to throw up. She’s shaking her head a lot too. She’s still fairly active and eating and drinking and her poop is normal but I’m worried it could be gapeworm or something...

    Droopy wings

    I was just wondering if it’s normal for chicks to let their wings droop. I had a chick death a few days ago so I’ve been being extra vigilant and I’ve noticed 2 chicks occasionally droop their wings. It’s usually just one wing drooping like it just got slightly too heavy. Is this normal...
