    Pullet started laying, them stopped?

    I have an EE pullet, not sure her exact age but she was hatched this spring. At the beginning of August she laid a tiny blue egg (I know it was her since she’s the only one that could be laying blue eggs), and in the next few days she laid a couple more. Then suddenly, she stopped laying and...

    Breathing problems after dog attack? And questions about feather regrowth

    I have a Brahma rooster, about a year and a half old, who was attacked by a dog about a week ago. He had several open wounds, one that tore his skin open enough that I could see the muscles underneath. Thankfully his wounds are healing very well (with daily cleaning and isolation in a hospital...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    Hi, I’ve treated bumblefoot into the past but this looks a bit different. I have a year-old Faverolles rooster with a weird black spot on his toe, right under his nail. It’s hard to the touch - the whole pad of his toe feels hard - but not hot. He’s not limping or anything, acting totally...

I’m pretty sure she’s too big to fit into the nest boxes I have now. Anyone have any recommendations for...

Last week, I was pretty sick after getting my COVID vaccine booster, and I didn’t clean their coop as well as I should have. I left the air vent closed and didn’t clean up...

    Hen attacked by dog, lost feathers - what should I do?

    A week ago, one of my hens, a 7-month old Wyandotte pullet, was attacked by a loose dog. She was very lucky, since the dog was pretty small and didn’t break the skin when it grabbed her. She didn’t have any wounds but she is missing a bunch of feathers and has a big bald spot on her tail...

    9 week old pullet - yellow diarrhea and lethargy

    I’m keeping chickens for the first time, and this is my first time dealing with a sick chicken so I’m a bit anxious. I have a 9-week-old Faverolles pullet that’s not wanting to get up and walk around, and is having yellow slimy diarrhea (pic below). Yesterday she was totally fine, and this...
