    Lavender orpington - I think I have a rooster.

    Hi all! I was so excited to see Lavender orpington pullets at my local TS. Decided to add 2 to my flock as they're a breed I've been wanting since I started my backyard flock, but I think my luck has finally run out and this time my "pullet" is actually a roo. It's already more aggressive (which...

    Hen laid 2 soft shelled eggs at once

    Hi all! One of my girls laid what appears to be 2 soft-shelled eggs at once into their poop hammock (I say it's one chicken because I collected 5 normal eggs and I've got 6 girls total). Everyone laid yesterday and they were perfectly normal. They get layer feed that has oyster shell in it and I...

    Poor girl can't catch a break

    Just a few weeks after nursing my poor girl Little back from what seemed like death's doorstep (coccidiosis and sour crop) I think she now has fowlpox (see pic) - am I right? I've been reading there's no cure so any thoughts on what I can do to keep this girl as healthy as possible would be...

    Our first egg!!!

    After a long and stressful week thinking 1 of our girls wouldn't make it (she's beating the odds!!) And another girl getting sick, our girl Hazel decided she'd bring us a little extra joy today and lay the first egg of our 6 girls!!! When I heard her singing the egg laying song I almost couldn't...

    Sour crop/coccidiosis -- is it time to go to the vet?

    My sweet Little hasn't gotten any better overnight. She still can't keep water down (has her Corid medication in it for the coccidiosis) and I've tried to feed her miconazole for the sour crop, but she's just not interested. Her crop is more swollen this morning than it was last night. I'm...

    Back again - NEED HELP! PLEASE!

    I posted earlier this morning about our girl, Little. We think she has coccidiosis based on her bloody stool and change in demeanor this morning. We isolated her and gave her corid in the hopes that it will solve the problem. I've been watching her throughout the day (so thankful to be working...

    Help! Weird mucous/bloody poop (pic attached)

    I went out to clean my girls' poop hammock this morning and noticed there was some bloody and mucous-like stool on the hammock. They were/have been given medicated feed, go out in their chicken tractor during the day, and get the occasional treat (grain mixes and the like). I have two girls who...

    What to do with a (possibly?) broken toe *pics included*

    It looks like one of my girls may have broken her toe somehow (see pic) and I'm trying to figure out what to do next...I've read that we can set it and splint it, but I have no idea how to do the first part and am terrified of hurting her. My husband thinks it may be dislocated and not broken...

    What's this noise? Do I have a rooster?

    Hi all! While my husband was outside this morning one of our girls (*hopefully*) made the strangest noise and we're beginning to wonder if we may actually have a cockerel on our hands...I'm including a video in the hopes that someone can tell me what it is and if she just decided she wanted to...

    Scared to let my girls free range

    I have 6 chicks that are about 9 weeks old now and I've been going back and forth on letting them free range. If I did do it they'd only be let out for a little bit and under my watchful eye. All that said, we live in the woods and there are a few hawks near us. I've never seen them with...
