    Chicken has Bald Patch on her Bottom

    Hello, This morning, I noticed that one of my hens has a bald patch on her bum (pictures below). I did a bit of research and there seems to be a variety of things that could be going on, so I'm not sure what's wrong with her. I picked her up and looked at the patch, and her skin seems to be...

    Chickens Ate an Egg

    Hi! I’m new to chicken keeping, so I don’t really know how to deal with this: our chickens started laying about 2 weeks ago, but this morning, I saw them feverishly slurping down an egg that had probably been layed on the ground (yesterday I found a ground egg too... is that bad?). This is the...

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    Hi! One of my hens started laying yesterday, and my other three are really close to laying, but this morning, as I checked for more eggs (there haven't been any so far this morning), I saw a small puddle of yellowish liquid; it looked a bit like pee (picture at the bottom). Does this have to do...

    Chicken Toenail Trimming Incident

    Hi! I was just trimming my 4-month-old chicken’s toenails when I cut a little too high and the nail started bleeding. I held it in some cornstarch for 30 seconds or so, and the bleeding slowed. She seemed to be fine, walking normally and not acting like she was in pain, but I’m still worried a...

    Chicken Limping... Any Advice?

    Hi! My 3-month-old color pack layer has been limping for a few days, and I have no idea why or how to treat it (if I even need to). She’s been unusually low-energy recently, not like her usual self. Anyway, her right leg seems to be hurting her, because she limps and sits on the ground often...

    Chicken’s Beak Wounded

    Hello! My 2-month-old (about) Color Pack chicken has a big gash in her beak. I’ve been out of town for a few days, so I don’t know if the other chickens were pecking her or if she got cut on something. I assume the former, because their coop’s very safe and big. It isn’t bleeding, but looks a...

    Chickens Sleeping in Nesting Boxes

    Hi! I've noticed my 2-month-old chickens sleeping in their nesting boxes, and I know they shouldn't be doing that. Their are 4 of them, and the coop has 3 nesting boxes. They have roosting bars, which they sleep on sometimes, but I don't know if they're just the wrong shape, if they're too...

    Chicken Gender Help?

    Hi! I’m new to owning chickens, and this is my first batch. I have four 2-month-old chickens, 2 Blue Sapphire Plymouth Rocks and 2 color pack layers. I’ve watched a few videos on how to determine their genders, and I’ve attempted to do so, but I’m still not sure. If anyone’s got a guess, I’d be...
