Got to her before they did, but upon checking there's a fluid where the egg should be. I'm certain that egg has broke. I...

    Chicken walking funny

    I have a black Sussex that's walking, standing, etc. As though she's always squatting. I would assume she's egg bound but she's been like this for about 5 days. She has a protrusion from right around where a bound egg would be, but it's not solid. I don't know what the deal is. It could be some...

    Human foods that are safe for make-shift supplements

    I had a health issue with a year old hen, I have copied the relavent info just hereafter. her comb is a bit pale, though her breast bone is no different to her mer hefty flock mates. I don't think it's servere enough for a diagnosis, but her symptoms see to fit Perosis, and the heat likely...

    Odd behaviour that could be bad

    I have a chicken that once separated I noted that so long as she doesn't need to react to anything she's fine. However she acts almost like it takes her like 1.5 seconds too long to realize she needs to correct. Her balance is fine on flat land, but if she has to "scurry" she'll stumble, and I...

    Wound the may develope into bumblefoot

    So I have a hen that has been limping now for the second day. I have applied that blue antiseptic- I can get the name, but it's not with me right now- and just now poured peroxide to it, but can't find the wound. She doesn't flinch no matter where I prod, and I couldn't find it from peroxide...

    Odd skin coloration

    To start off the bald spots I believe are from bullying. But thanks to them I've been able to notice these odd spots on a couple chickens. The worse one is by far the most prominent. I asked about the bald spots in another post and was told I should check them for parasites to be safe. For the...

    Bullying problems that I can't figure out

    Alright we have a flock of now 18 birds. Split evenly between Bluerocks, Black Sussexes, and Easter Eggers, with maybe 3 more BS's than the others. I've had bullying problems since about October. We didn't have enough space, but have expanded to a figure recommended by a user here. This has not...

    Chicken gone limp

    I have a chicken that's gone mostly limp. What I mean is that when I put her down she immediately falls like she can't balance. Falls forward then transitions to sitting posture. She lets me extend her wings completely and do things that usually freak them out to no reaction. She has some touble...

    Consistent bullying issues

    We've had our flock for soothing like 24 weeks, and had a consistent problem with bullying. We started off with 26 birds, but this is our first time and 6 were meat birds we just didn't have the know how to keep alive. Lost one to gangrene, one's heart outgrew him, one to intestinal problems...

    If something is wrong I'ld like to catch it early

    I came out to my coop a few minutes ago andnoticed very dark somewhat runny poop- and somewhat more than I'ld expect from our 19 birds. I heard one poop and gave it a look: it was alittle foamy, but for all I know a little foam occasionally may be how chickens pass gas. I give them some apple...

    Helping a sprained hip without separating

    I have a chicken whose been limping I'll say moderately. I know she doesn't have bumblefoot- her feet are the same temperature and free of sores. I probed her legs just hard enough to get a reaction out of an injury, and it's just above where her "furry" feathers start. I panicked at first as I...

    Obligatory post

    I'm a first time chicken owner. 22 years old,my grand parents decided we needed 20 chickens. I wasn't against it or anything , and decided that I would care for them so my grandparents didn't need to. If I ever get "overly" worried about them I tell myself that I'm the only one who can be vocal...

    An unknown ailment that's spooked me.

    I have a flock of 20 birds; they're around 18-20 weeks old. Moving on to the actual problem. One of my Easter eggers starting yesterday morning seemed lethargic. I dismissed it, but by evening it became enough to be somewhat alarming. I have a dowel rod posted just under knee high, and our main...
