    Mucoid poop, beginning lash egg, soft-shelled membrane...???

    Hey, my girl Poppy's been under the weather for the past few days. Yesterday, she stayed put in the nesting box. Her belly was swollen - not massively so, but enough to be noticeable when I touched it - and she seemed like she was trying to lay and couldn't. No penguin walking/sitting, though...

    Fowl pox...?

    Hi friends! I'm pretty sure this is fowl pox, but wanted to get a second opinion. My girl Aubrey has had these for a couple weeks. Behavior is totally normal; weight, crop and appetite are healthy. My other 3 hens all have noticeably new pecking marks on their combs, but no signs of anything...

    Watery eyes, yawning, occasional head shaking, otherwise normal.

    Hey y'all. I just adopted three pullets two days ago, after losing my beautiful girl Custard in June. One of the girls has watery eyes, yawns quite a bit, occasionally shakes her head. These girls are about 4.5 months old, and they come from a local family-owned farm with a stellar local...

So I have three chickens: 1 Easter Egger roo (Plum), an Easter Egger hen (Custard), and an Ayam Cemani hen (Aubrey). Plum was one of those "totally a pullet, 100% a lady, trust me bro" situations, but...

    Hen with soaked underside, mostly sits in the nesting box

    Hey y'all, my girl Custard had some watery -but otherwise normal - poop last night. Then today, I noticed she never left the coop after I let the others out. After 4 hours of looking at the security cams (I'm that kind of chicken mom), I rushed home to check on her. She was in the nesting box...

    Adding 1 or 2 to a small flock of 3?

    Hey y'all! I know there are a million threads on whether to add or not, but I have a pretty direct question about whether it's better to add 1 or 2 hens together. My coop and run has enough space for two more chickens, max. I would personally rather just get one hen to maximize the space for...

    Hiya!

    Hi friends! I'm Marj, a first-time chicken mama with three chickens. Back in June, I brought home two week-old Easter Egger chicks, Plum and Custard - my sweethearts. I raised them in my kitchen til they were big enough to be in the coop. It was a little hard letting them go outside after...
