Sometimes I think she's also trying to be a Turkey. Is there something wrong with her? She's laying eggs 2 or 3 a week and I think she's dealing with a low-grade wet pox infection...she's got some black spots on her comb too and they've been there for at least a year...although some of them...

I am now hoping my little bantam rooster will be ok. He just broke his beak - I didn't see it happen - but it must have happened sometime between today and last night. The upper beak is cracked all the way around, but it's still attached. I don't know how it happened but it probably has...

My new (older Bantam) hen has been showing some signs of heavy breathing - particularly at night. She's been in her own run and I've been bringing her in at night - since she's new to the area and she's a bit under weight from having just completed a big molt. In any case, her nostrils are...

I just acquired a bantam hen - she lost her bantam rooster. I put her in an adjacent run next to my 2 chickens...I have a Golden Sex Links hen and a bantam rooster together. This new hen can walk right up to these 2 other chickens - and they can socialize through the poultry netting - which...

I acquired another hen yesterday (she needed a home) and so I put her into a run adjacent to my other hen - Thinking they could not fight through the wire fencing between them (and they can't). HOWEVER, my hen went CRAZY when she saw this new hen and charged the fence and I think she tried to...

I have a great rooster - the only rooster - the rest are hens. Several months ago, he broke off his left spur and it bled a lot so I used some contractor's line chalk to stop the bleeding - It worked great and now his spur is over 2 inches long and there's still some of the blue chalk stuck to...

She is about 1 1/2 old and last year she had some kind of respiratory disease that resolved with antibiotics. Early on she had egg laying issues (and inflammation at the vent) that I believe was related to the respiratory illness. Since then she has been laying eggs consistently, but they've...

I have a Golden Sex Links hen (a young hen) and she's been producing stools with some orange to sometimes pink intestinal mucus - in spots (not the whole poop) and it seems to be somewhat often...not every poop, but certainly at least 1 or 2 of them per day. Is this normal to see that often...

I've been looking at similar threads and I don't see exactly what I'm dealing with (probably not anyway), so I decided to post a new thread. I have an older hen and her crop hasn't emptied for the last couple of days (maybe 3 days). It's not full (maybe a bit more than half full), but there's a...

Hello fellow chicken lovers. I have been researching bumblefoot on this site and I am now ready to start asking my own questions. I apologize for the long message to follow - I will try to keep her history brief... I have a hen with bumblefoot and she's had it now for about 6 weeks. I...
