    Yellow Rough Skin on Crop after impacted crop

    My hen had impacted crop, what felt to be a small amount of wadded grass in there. I gave her some coconut oil and electrolytes and kept massaging it and it went down significantly. This morning only a tiny amount remained and most food and water that I’ve been giving her is not sitting in her...

    Hen open mouth breathing and lethargic

    My welsummer hen has been acting sick since yesterday morning (that I’ve noticed). Very lethargic, not eating or drinking, and opening mouth breathing. I can tell she’s having a hard time breathing. But no discharge from eyes or nose. No coughing or sneezing. She did have some runny poop...

    8 month old rooster or hen?

    I have what I thought was a rooster but he is 8 months old with a small comb and barely any waddles. My girls from his batch have way bigger combs and waddles and have been laying for a while now. He hasn’t laid any eggs and I haven’t heard him crow. No other roosters. He doesn’t act like a...

    Turkey Hen or Tom?

    This is my 14 week old Royal Palm. I’ve always though she was a hen. I’ve never seen her strut and never heard her gobble. She does talk a lot, but no gobbles. Does it look like I’m right, she is a hen? Or is she a he? 🤔 Thanks!

The first day they seemed to drink it OK, but yesterday and this morning they seem to be avoiding it. I added quite a bit of sugar and a little...

    Chickens eyes swollen/respiratory illness

    My chickens I have now are 12 month old brahmas and 4 month old Wyandottes. I noticed diarrhea about a month ago in my brahmas so started trying to treat that symptom, thinking it was probably cocci or worms. Now I think it is probably linked to a respiratory illness. One hen got very sick about...

    Are these eggs fertile?

    Do these eggs look fertile? It’s been a while since I’ve had a rooster and have seen fertile eggs. We got a rooster about 2 weeks ago, but I have only seen him mate maybe one or two of my hens in the 2 weeks he’s been here. Of course I’m not out there all the time, so hopefully he is doing his...

    Chickens have Diarrhea

    I’m a bit of a newbie chicken owner, I’ve had chickens for about 3 years now but I haven’t ran into any problems until now. My Brahma hens and Roo have diarrhea. They are about 11 months old and act healthy other wise. They are eating and drinking fine. I’m in Texas and the weather has been...
