Hi there, Does this look like scaly leg mites? I was looking at my rooster's spurs and noticed that his legs don't look quite as smooth as I was expecting. I can't say I noticed them looking really smooth lately, but I was a bit concerned when I saw them. He is about 2 years old and otherwise...

A month ago I hatched some chicks and when I spoke to a vet recently, he said it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them amprolium. The feed I use is unmediated. I’ve used powder Corid in their water in the past, but I can’t remember the dosage to use. If anyone could tell me how much of the powder...

Recently I’ve been noticing some unusual poop in my coop. It’s runny and yellow/green and a few of my hens bottoms have been getting dirty. One of my hens has completely stopped laying and her face is looking a bit pale. Is it possible that she has worms? How do you tell if that is the issues...

I just noticed one of my hens has an injured eye. I don’t know how it happened, I’ve had her separated from my flock for a couple weeks now because she’s been aggressive with the other hens, so it wasn’t a fight between chickens. There are bees in her area, but I’ve never had a hen get stung...

I have a 10 year old hen who started showing signs of soup crop yesterday. After looking up the symptoms I’m pretty confident that is what she has (full, squishy crop, “vomits” when I pick her up, wet droppings, low energy). What is the best way to treat sour crop? I was also wondering how to...

I have one Buff Orpington chick that I think is about 6 or 7 weeks old (correct me if I'm wrong), and when I got it, I was told it was a pullet, but I've been worried she's a he instead. I only have two chicks at the moment, the other is a younger EE mix who I was able to feather sex when she...

One of my hens hatched an egg and I took the chick to raise because my coop is not set up for little ones, but I can’t be around the chick all the time and I’d like to try to find some ways to help entertain her while I’m away. I’d get her some siblings if I could, but finding a couple two day...

I found a chick in my coop this morning that had hatched and died, and I suspect my broody hen had something to do with the death, so I took a pipping egg from her to try to hatch and save the chick on my own, but I have no incubator and have never hatched eggs before. I’ve been sitting with a...

Hello!! I have a 3yr old Egyptian Fayoumi hen who I noticed isn’t doing well. Her lower stomach/bottom area, between her legs, feels round and firm, her energy levels are about 75% lower than they usually are, she’s letting her tail hang low, and her feathers are puffed up as if she is cold...

I have a Buff Orpington hen who will be ten years old this spring and I'm beginning to grow concerned about her health. She is still fairly agile - she'll come for foods, follow me around, occasionally bully the younger hens - but some days it sounds like she has breathing issues. I can hear her...

This afternoon I noticed my hen was looking very lethargic and wouldn't stand up on her own. Her face was paler than usual, and her backend was a little rounder than usual. I though she might be egg bound, so I put her in a warm, dimly lit room. I checked on her every now and then, but she was...
