    Please help— Chicken has an abscess/puffiness on one side of face

    Please help me- I have a younger serama hen who has an abscess (?) on one side of her face. She has lots of energy, no mood change or weakness (so I’m really hoping it’s not part of a disease). I recently got back from a week away but she wasn’t like that when I left, I feel bad :(. See the...

    Help with mites prevention

    I have a dust bath with diatomaceous earth, but the chickens always bathe in the bedding. They just got mites again (they’re better now) but I’m sure they’ll just get them again if they don’t use the dust bath. How can I get them to use it?

    Help with weak chick

    Hi I had a serama chick hatch yesterday morning, she occasionally pecks at the food but never eats it. She drinks but only when I dip her beak on the water. I gave them sugar water earlier. She tilts her head farther back with her eyes closed. She walks around kinda funny, falls over on her back...

    Chicks not Hatching

    I have 2 broody hens, they have 2 eggs each. It is day 24 and none have hatched! I candled them last weekend and all seemed well. I saw one of the eggs wiggling a bit on day 22 but it hasn’t even pipped yet! Is it possible that I need to do something to help the chick get out, or could the chick...

    It’s Molting Time

    With fall comes some patchy chickens! Post your photos here. My chickens are just starting their molt, but I’ll put some pictures here anyways. This is Patricia, just missing most of her tail feathers. Here is Dondelion (not dandelion lol).

    Candy Corn or Crele Polish?

    I bought a bunch of chicks, 2 of them are supposed to be cuckoo polish. The first one is actually a cuckoo polish, but the second one looks candy corn/crele? Are they the same thing? Are cuckoo and candy corn polish in the same “breeding area”? Here she is!

    Sexing Silkies

    I got 19 new chicks in May, a lot of different breeds! Three of them are silkies. Everyone is now 3 months old, and I know everyone’s genders except the silkies!

    Polish chickens can’t see through large crest

    Hi! I’m sure this question has been asked a million times... But my polish pullets are getting very full crests and don’t seem to be able to see. They keep on running into me! I would rather not cut their feathers, is a ponytail/headband an option? I’ve seen ponytails on silkies but they have...

    Are silkies bantams in Canada?

    I understand that regular silkies go by bantam in some countries, but i'm just wondering if standard silkies are bantams in Canada. Please tell me if you know the answer, or if I'm just confused and I don't know what I'm talking about. Thank you so much!
