Hi, we have a hen that I had asked about that may have MG, that med finally came and I will be starting her 5 day treatment today. Is MG contagious? I don’t remember the long name, just that everyone always puts (MG) for the abbreviation. I ask because another of my hens had watery, bloody stool...

Hi, we have a little Easter Egger Charlotte. Last year right around this time (I think earlyJune last year) she had a swollen ear and her eye swelled shut. We tried everything, we asked for advice here, but we didn’t realize her ear was swollen until someone asked us in the thread and we...

Hi, One of our favorite girls, Elliott, didn’t come out of the coop this morning and I found her in the corner. We took her out and checked her over, everything looks fine but she’s breathing a little heavy. We looked in her mouth and there seemed to be mucus in the back but that’s the only...

This is Charlotte, she is a little Easter egger. I just went out to their coop and was holding her and realized that her eye is goopy and she’s keeping it closed. She also seems to be missing some feathers down that side of her neck but I see not sign of injuries and I haven’t seen her fighting...

Hi, We have 6 laying hens and I’m about to give them fresh pumpkin from when our kids carved pumpkins last night. It’s just the seeds and “innards”. We also have 4 chicks, they are about 5.5 weeks old and mostly feathered already, they aren’t in the same area as our hens but I thought I would...

Hi, We just had a hurricane come through our area (FL) and now after I’ve put the girls back in their coop they are being swarmed by mosquitoes every night. There are so many that two nights we’ve put them back in the crates they were in during the storm and put them in the garage to get them...

Hi, We currently have 6 hens that are about 6-7 months old. They get along for the most part, we do have one that is definitely the top of the pecking order and she does peck at some others at times. I’ve read horror stories about chickens being scalped and pecked mercilessly when added to a...

I have had posts where I didn’t get a response so pardon my all caps… I just wanted to make sure it got seen 😄. I have a sweet hen named Elliott that is being picked on by our two biggest hens (who are kinda mean to everyone and I’m about ready to rehome them, but they go after her the most). I...

I’m sorry that I don’t have better pictures, trying to hold my chicken and take a picture of her feet at the same time was interesting 😅. So all our chickens legs and feet look great except Betty, she’s got these weird black things where it looks like the skin broke open and black is coming out...

Hi, our chickens, well pullets, are about 14 weeks old and neither my DH or I have had chickens since we were kids/teens so we don’t remember much… our girls are not overly active, they lay around a lot and I guess I just pictured them moving around most of the day. We have them in their covered...

Hi, we are pretty new to chickens and our pullets are almost 14 weeks old 😄. This is Betty White and she seems to have a scab on her crow. I’ve been watching the girls (we have 6 hens) and no one seems to be messing with her, I’m thankful for that! But I wasn’t sure what I should do to treat it...

Our chicks are about 4 weeks old and I got some pictures today and thought I would see if anyone can tell what breeds they are now that they have wings? They’re all brown egg layers, that’s all I know. I’m pretty sure the one is an Astrolorp but otherwise we don’t know. Both of our black chicks...

Hi, I have almost 2 week old chicks, one of them was doing this weird thing tonight as I sat there talking to them and watching them… I am hoping this is normal or just that she was acting weird because I was there talking to them (they all go crazy when I get in there with them, every time...

Hi 👋🏻 I’m new here and we just got chicks a week and a half ago! They’re super cute, I have no idea what kind of chicks they are only that they lay brown eggs. I got them from the local feed store and she told me that they get left over brown egg layers from a hatchery after they fill orders. I...
