    Possible sour crop?

    5 month old barred rock hen with possible sour crop? I found her dust bathing and noticed her eyes looked a little -off- just different...then noticed she is doing a motion like she is gasping for air but she is still vocal and moving around. Her crop seems lumpy and not globular like it usually...

    Tomato, veg, herb fertilizer

    Chickens have been getting into the garden that I just fertilized. 😩😩 I’m sure they’ve been digging up the ground and they literally ate all the leaves off of my peppers. I’ve posted the ingredients and brand. Chickens are acting fine but I know they are very stoic creatures. I also read that...

    First Egg!!

    Our first egg was laid this morning by my girl, Iris. Happy day!! She laid it perfectly in a big ol’ pile of poop. 🤔 Is this a Normal thing to do when they’re new to laying?

    Blue laced red Wyandotte?

    Help! I bought a blue laced red Wyandotte chick (or so I thought) from a feed store and looking back, I probably should have looked up what the chicks themselves look like because I’m not sure I have a chicken on my hands at all. 😳😳😳 She’s double the size of my silkie who I got 3 days before...

    Silver laced Wyandotte pullet or cockerel?

    Hi! I’m new here, this is my first time raising chicks on my own, my mother previously raised some but I didn’t live with her at the time. I have an SLW pullet that I bought “sexed” but I’m starting to think she might be a Roo because her tail feathers are longer than all my other hens. Pics...
