    Pullet's beak does not fully close, top is shorter, should I trim it?

    Good Morning, I have a EE Pullet that's beak doesn't fully close due to her upper beak being shorter than her lower beak. We had another EE with this issue before her and Charlotte's wasn't as bad so we never really needed to address it. This is Bea (I'll add some pictures), she is super sweet...

    Hen keeps standing on one leg and limping when she walks, she also started crowing like Rooster. Not sure what’s going on!

    Hi all, I wasn’t sure which thread to post this under because obviously by the headline you can see there is multiple issues going on with her. We just added chicks about 4-5 weeks ago, they started sleeping in the coop about 3 weeks ago but they are separated at night in the coop by mesh...

    9-10 week old chick "gaping" on and off and all 3 chicks seem to be breathing heavier

    Hi, I wasn't sure whether to put this in this forum or the sick forum, but I'm not sure they're sick. We got 3 chicks almost 6 weeks ago and they were about 3.5 weeks old when we got them. We have a brooder for them inside and we kept them inside for about 3 weeks and then started putting them...

    Just brought chicks home and seeing bloody stool, thoughts and ideas?

    Good morning, I just brought chicks home yesterday from a local breeder, I saw their chick brooder that they were in and it was clean and I didn’t see any concerning poop in there. They were on a different food that I wasn’t able to find (a higher protein and unmedicated), so I brought them...

    Egg Bound or Water Belly? Please help

    Good Evening, I’m hoping that some people are still up and on the thread, it’s 10:30 pm where I live. I have a hen that is either egg bound or has water belly. I originally thought for sure it was Egg Bound because she’s laid some massive eggs this week and then a “shell-less” egg where it was...

    Necropsy Pictures- Warning Graphic! Third hen I’ve lost so I cut her open and I need experienced eyes

    I just had our 3rd hen die of the same thing in 4 months. So I cut her open after she died, all 3 hens got an impacted crop and her gizzard was impacted. I finally worked up the nerve to do more than just check the crop after they died. I didn’t find anything that looked like it would have...

    3rd chicken to die with this…. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Good Morning, In the last few months we’ve had 2 chickens have to be put down and now a third has the same issue. I’m just waiting for the vet to open to see if we can get her an appointment to be put down… what happens is their crop gets really hard and full, but you can still somewhat move it...

    Vet put my hen with sour crop on antibiotics… should I/can I also give her monistat?

    I have several other threads for this hen, but I was worried that no one will see my newest response since it’s been a few days since I posted. I ended up taking my hen Charlotte to the vet and because she had diarrhea and we’d already lost our hen Evelyn to the same symptoms the vet tested her...

    Please help!! Second chicken with this weird issue and we had to cull the other one!

    I just posted about my hen Charlotte last week, we thought maybe she needed to be dewormed but now she is showing signs of whatever our little hen Evelyn had and we ended up having to cull her because she was slowly starving. No one could seem to pinpoint what it was and everyone else seemed...

    Can you deworm a chicken while they’re molting? I have one with running poop!

    Hi, we have a little Easter egger named Charlotte that I’ve asked questions about before. She gets bubbles in her eye and her ear is swollen on that same side. We treated her with everything that was advised on BYC and it never went away but she acted normal. We live in FL and my girls are free...

    Lost a hen a week ago and now another hen is pooping grass too… any ideas?

    Good morning, Last Monday we had to finally cull our little hen Evelyn, after 2+ weeks of her having an impacted crop then sour crop, then impacted again. We never could get it to go back to normal and she was slowly starving. My question is this, can fermented feed cause crop issues? Or seeds...

    Crop issue… was impacted and now pendulous? Need advice

    Hello, We have a little hen named Evelyn 🥰 she’s a really small little Easter egger, she usually weighs about 3 lbs on a good day though she’s lost some weight due to this ongoing issue. About 2 weeks ago we were treating our chickens for mites and so we had to catch even our speedy littlest...

    Bloody watery stool!! Need advice!!

    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?

    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...

    My chicken is sick and I need help please!

    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...

    Not sure what’s wrong help!

    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...

    Can chicks have fresh pumpkin?

    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...

    Massive amounts of Mosquitoes every night!

    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...

    Introducing New Hens

    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...
