I'm sure there's a thread in here about weird beak growths, but it's been awhile since I've been on here and had chicken issues---but I know where to go when I need answers! 😁
It appears my pullet is growing a horn out of her beak?!
It looks like maybe there was a small bit of damage and it left...
Howdy! Not sure if my guy has been poked/pecked in the eye by the other 2 fellas or if he's got an illness setting in. He keeps his eye closed and when we caught him, it was a bit gooey with yellow, stringy-ish gunk but was cleaned up easily with a warm cloth. He still roams with the guys and...
Howdy! We noticed an extra chicken and have NO IDEA where it could've came from. We've got no neighbors close so no one to really return it to! It is missing a ton of feathers and is scratching around the head so I'm guessing mites/lice. I've cooped it away from my flock but I'm sure I'll need...

Sometimes it starts by walking into TSC at the wrong time-or for me, the right time, which was CLEARANCE CHICKS! At $1 each, a dozen sounded about right! 😂 7 were sexed as pullets and the other 5 are anybody's guess.....but talk about driving right in! Here in rural Arkansas, chickens are...
