    Eye Laceration Pain Relief?

    Last night due to some bullying, my girl Chilli got her cornea scratched. I brought her in and rinsed the eye with vetrycin and gave her some antibiotic eye drops that apparently work for chickens as well as humans. The eye is less bloody today but I can tell it hurts like hell. She’s the most...

    Sudden Loss of Balance and Head Bobbing Hen

    I don’t know how to attach videos here so I’m just going to describe it the best I can for now. Other users seem to have had this problem with their hens before but never figured out what it was or posted if their hens lived or not. My barnevelder Vera is about two years old and is the only...

    How long to separate hormonal rooster?

    I have an almost 5 and 1/2 month old huge speckled sussex cockerel named Versace who until yesterday acted almost like a hen. Yesterday he mounted the top hen (my favorite) who was not receptive and fought back. I foolishly hoped he’d know better when the time came since he’s usually scared of...

    Agave poisonous?

    Maybe I’m not googling hard enough but I’m having a hard time finding out if agave plants are poisonous to chickens. Seems like they can cause irritation to their mouths and throats but but not much more than that? My teenaged pullets (about 22 weeks) seem to have eaten a fair amount of an agave...

    Easter Egger Top Hen Losing Feathers- Stress?

    Pretty sure this is stress, I just want to know how bad it can get because this is my favorite hen and I don’t live anywhere near an avian vet. My Easter Egger Chilli (in my profile pic) has stopped laying and started losing feathers in the last few days. She loves to be held so I picked her up...

    Seeking A Chick Around 5 Weeks Old in NorCal

    I’ve been trying to build up my flock (2 full grown hens, 2 teenaged pullets) so I got some speckled sussex chicks at around 5 weeks old at the farm store. I didn’t even have them for 48 hours before there was an accident with a hawk who somehow got ahold on one of them through the cage (she...

    Alchemist Farm Azure Egger female or something else?

    Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what’s going on with my azure egger Megan I got from Alchemist Farm. I paid to get a female since I’m not able to accommodate a roo in my area. Franchesca of Alchemist Farm is very knowledgeable and this is her autosexing breed she created over time so...

    Two chickens enough?

    I started out with three hens (T-Boz, Chilli and Left Eye) who I raised from chicks three years ago to be pets (w the added benefit of eggs!) About a week and a half ago T-Boz was killed suddenly. Now I’ve upgraded my fences and I have two chickens left. They seem to have adjusted well (for...

    Sick chicken: worms, scabs on comb, fluid in beak

    Heads up, I’m including a pretty gross photo of worm infested chicken poop at the end of this. My chicken, Left Eye is a Plymouth Barred Rock and she had a rough day yesterday. The temperature got to be in the 100’s and although she’s usually has no problem dealing with heat she was suffering...

    Please advise on excessive bullying during hot months

    Hi, this is my first post so I wasn’t sure where to put it, especially since it is a two-part question. Excuse me if it’s in the wrong forum or if it’s too long! I have three 2 yr old chickens, T-Boz (Sussex,) Chilli (EE) and Left Eye (Plymouth Rock) all have very different personalities but...
