    What color Wyandotte is this chick?

    I think they're about 6-6½ weeks old. I got them from Tractor Supply. It was an assortment of Wyandotte colors, but I don't remember which ones were listed. I think Ruff is gold laced. Tuff has a lot more black and a little bit of white. But, she looks quite a bit different than the silver Laced...

    Dog attack, injured chicken

    I just got home and found my dog trying to eat/play with the chickens. I found one (Dottie) that I thought was dead. She's still breathing. I don't think any organs are punctured. She's not gasping for air. Her crop is punctured, and food was slowly coming out. I stitched the hole closed (not...

    Chicken has super swollen frozen feet

    This morning my dad found one of our hens with really swollen, frozen feet. All the others are fine and they were locked up in the coop all night so I don't know how she got this cold. She can balance, but it takes a little while for her get fleet balanced. She can't really walk. My dad had to...

    My 2 year old buff orpington's eyes aren't dilating. We checked the whole flock over last week and found that 1 eyenwas like this. Today we checked them again and both eyes were like that. She's getting around fine and doesn't seem blind. She's acting totally normal. I have one bird who hasn't...

    Chickens attacked, 2 dead, one injured. GRAPHIC PICS

    I think an owl attacked my chickens last night. My younger birds are smart and like to sleep on top of the coop, which is surrounded by fencing and netting. If something crawled up there from the ground it would have been loud and the birds would have gotten away. I had 27 chickens. But only my...

    Swollen foot and limping

    One of my 7 week old barred rocks has a swollen foot. She's been laying around a lot the last 2 days. She's still eating and drinking and seems otherwise normal. There's no scab, so I don't think it's bumblefoot. I was wondering if she broke or dislocated her toe. It stills out at a different...

    Chick found hanging upside down

    I found one of my 4 week old BR hanging upside down on the outside of the pen about 6 feet in the air. I thought she was dead, bit then she chirped so I rushed to get her untangled. She was gasping for air and was limp. There was a lot of poop on the netting and on her so I assume she was there...

    Coccidia or intestinal lining

    I have 10 chicks that are 3.5 weeks old. They'll be 1 month old on the 20th. They are all vaccinated for coccidiosis, and we're on medicated starter for just over a week. Since then they've been eating all flock. This morning I noticed quite a few poops with blood in them. Do you think it's...

    I ordered 15 chicks that hatched on Monday and came yesterday. 14 of them are doing great. The Andalusian chick is a little lethargic. She's not eating much, but still drinking. She has a hard abdomen. None of the others do. I'm not sure what to do. She sleeps a lot just like any other newly...

    I found yellow urates

    Over the last week or 2 I've noticed a few poops with bright yellow urates. Other than the urayes the poop looks fine. I wasn't able to get a picture before they were smashed. I don't know exactly which bird it's coming from. I have a hen that has been having a lot of crop problems and suddenly...

    I think my chicken has sour crop

    When I went out to feed my chickens this morning I noticed that one had a really dirty butt. I caught her and looked her over. Her crop is full and squishy. Sometimes her crop doesn't fully empty overnight and she still has a little food in it in the morning, but it's never been full. If we can...

    First egg not fertile, could the others be

    The first egg my peahen laid didn't have a bullseye in it. She's laid 3 other eggs and hasn't laid for a few days. If the first egg wasn't fertile could the rest of the clutch be fertile?

    Hen stopped laying

    I have a 2 year old RSL. She hasn't laid an egg in over a week. I felt her abdomen, and it doesn't feel like there's an egg inside. Nothing has really changed. I put our peafowl in the run several weeks ago because their pen was badly damaged by really strong wind. We just got that pen back up...

    I was dusting my chickens this morning and found a big scab on my chicken's stomach. It's about the size of a nickel. She is a 2 year old Black sex link. She also has a bald spot about the same size on her side. I have another bird who is missing all of the feathers on his chest and the front of...

    Should my peafowl free range

    My peacock is 6 years old. We've had him since he was 3. The hen is 4 and we've had her since she was 1. We've had them in a pen that's 250 sq ft. We were planning to almost double it. We had really high winds a few days ago that destroyed the tarp and netting over the pen. The hen flew out, but...

    Chicken got bullied severely and has a little bone sticking out of her wing

    My pullet has been picked on off and on for about 2 months. At first she only got chased. They started plucking feathers a few weeks ago, but it wasn't bloody so I left her in. Last week her back got really bloody, so I made her a saddle. Now her back is healing, but yesterday everyone was...

    My rooster hurt his beak and his toes

    My 1 ½ year old turken rooster did something to his feet and beak. He had gotten into a fight with my other roo about 6-7 months ago and his injuries aren't any better. He's not limping, but one toe has a nasty cut and the other is swollen. We can't get anything out of the swollen toe, so we...

    Can I use pick no more in freezing weather

    One of my pullets is getting picked on a lot. She's had a small bald spot for a few days, but this evening I noticed some blood. She was doing really well at first. Recently, the roo has been mounting her a lot and she really freaks out. After that some of the other hens started picking on her...
