    What are these bugs?

    These tiny bugs are infesting the chicken yard. Does anyone know what they are? I have a video that shows them better, but I can’t figure out how to upload a video. Are they mites? My children get covered in them when visiting with the chickens. I can’t find any on the actual chickens, but I’d...

    What is this bump?

    This just appeared recently under her vent. Any idea what it is? She doesn’t appear to be in pain, she’s acting normally, and still laying. Any thoughts? What should I do?

    Nystatin cream for sour crop?

    I have a chicken that, I’m almost positive, has sour crop. She was lethargic all yesterday and today, almost no appetite, sitting the the yard puffed up with eyes closed. With a gloved finger, I checked her vent and there is no egg in reach. I felt her crop in the late morning. It is huge, and...

    Raccoon attack

    We have a backyard flock of 15 chickens and just received a rescue Buff Orptington hen. The previous owner no longer wanted her because she was attacked by a raccoon. She is still walking around, eating, and seems to be ok, other than one side of her face being quite torn up. Her eye is swollen...

    Red eyes, red feet/legs, lethargic

    Anyone have any ideas? This is Barbara. She’s been very lethargic for the past week and just keeps still, all puffed up. I noticed yesterday that her eyes turned red (they are normally orange) and her legs and feet are changing color from pale yellow to red as well. We are all worried about her...

    Any idea what this is?

    Can anyone help us? Our usually very outgoing chicken didn’t come to say hi today. I found her hiding under the coop, which is very strange. When taking her out, I noticed that her chest looked like this. Her crop feels empty, and it’s evening now, so I expect she didn’t eat much today. We...

    Bloody egg shell

    So every day, for about a month now, I find one egg that has the shell smeared with blood. We have a flock of ten birds that are 8 months old. None appear to be acting different. I can’t see any indication, on the vent, of which bird is even doing it. We are all worried about her. What can I do...

    Naked chicken necks

    So we are somewhat new to chickens, is this normal? Our ladies are 8 months old and are all starting to look like this. Is this molting? The feathers around their necks are disappearing. We haven’t seen any of them pecking each other, they all get along very nicely. What could this be from?

    Rooster crowing

    So we just inherited a 5 month old rooster, Foxy. We have 10 pullets, but they are only 6 weeks old, so they are still in the brooder inside. I’d like to move the bigger ones to the coop with him (any tips on putting them together would be appreciated). In the mean time, he’s in the coop alone...

    Any clue on this chick?

    This is six week old Olive. She is significantly smaller than the other 9 chicks we have, varying breeds, but all the same age. Everyone else is fully feathered, she’s very scrawny, poorly feathered, and probably only the size of a robin. She’s lively, but usually is hanging out in the back...

    Any idea on breed or gender?

    This is Rose and she (hopefully) is 6 weeks old. She is much larger than our other chicks, but they are a mix of random breeds, so not a good comparison. Any guesses if she’s a cockerel or pullet? Also breed? Thank you so much! I’m new to this!
