Hi!
A couple of days ago, I noticed that one of my Jersey Giant hens had passed a few tapeworm proglottids. Today I planned on ordering Equimax to treat it. I have some Safeguard (fenbendazole) that I have been using to deworm for the last few years, and it worked the last time I had tapes in...
Hey y’all. So today I noticed two of my Easter Egger hens have these weird blackish lesions on the tops of their feet. I did some research but it doesn’t look like bumblefoot or anything else to me. I have no idea what they are, so I just decided to keep an eye on them.
Then, a couple of...
Hey y’all. So today my mom found a baby dove laying in the yard. We looked around above it and found what was left of the nest. A little bit later I found the other baby (it was covered in ants) and what was left of one of the parents.
It looks healthy, I think it’s around a week old.
I fed...
Hi,
This is probably going to make me sound really bad and inconsiderate but I would like some advice and peace of mind.
So today before I drove back to college for the week, I was outside spending time with our five week old EE cross chicks. We just introduced them to the rest of the flock a...
So I’ve got a white leghorn hen who has not been laying for a couple of months. The molted back in October, and hasn’t laid since. Her legs are beginning to turn yellow and her beak is now solid yellow. I don’t know if maybe she’s come to the end of her laying time or something else. I have no...
So I found my rooster dead today. I don’t know what it was. He was found inside the run area. I think it was a hawk but I’m not sure.
His name was Tiny and he was a Red Pyle Old English game bantam. 😭

Hey y’all.
So I’ve got a hen that has scaly leg mites and they’re hurting her pretty bad. She refuses to walk on her left leg because of one of her toes. I’m only home to put Vaseline on her two days out of the week (I’m at college the other 5). Today we soaked her legs in warm water with some...
So hey y’all. I’ve had a White leghorn hen that has been out of laying commission for a while and now I think something is actually wrong. I’m gonna try and elaborate..
Mrs Prissy quit laying about 3 months ago (late May, early June). She was in a normal healthy condition and then one day it...
Hi all. So we have some quail eggs and two chicken eggs in an incubator. The quail eggs pipped yesterday and one of the chicks actually just hatched. We think the other chick died because the egg quit developing. The quail eggs have yet to finish hatching
So my question is what do I do about...
Hi all. So I know this is a chicken forum, BUT I have found lots of information for other things (and this is the only place I can think of that has so many polite people willing to share knowledge).
This isn’t urgent. I’m just curious about what kind of plant this is.
The leaves look kind of...
Hi all. So today I went out to collect eggs and put my chickens to bed and when I went into the coop area I noticed one of our WL hens, Charmin, was acting strange.
The first thing I noticed was she was sitting on the hay and not on the perch with her sister.
Then I noticed her looked off...
I went out to my chicken coop today to collect eggs and I looked at one of my hens poop because she has been sick and I noticed these little things in her poop. They look like sand burrs but they are ALIVE. I have no idea what these are, and I need help quick! I already have at least two...
Hello, I have a Golden Sex-linked hen that I bought from tractor supply about two years ago. I noticed yesterday that she was acting lethargic and not wanting to eat anything other than grass. I gave her some water with electrolytes and she seemed to perk up a little. Her poop is a greenish...
