    What is this gross “poop”?

    Just found this in the nesting boxes. No hens are showing signs of lethargy. Any ideas? Just to add, it’s obviously not poo it looked just like raw chicken meat 🤢

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Hello my 6 month old Brahma hen has been developing this lump in her face for the last couple months. The lump is not rock hard but not super soft, kind of feels like a mix. She had no runny eyes on nose, no wheezing or coughing or goopy / crusty eyes. Appetite and energy level are really...

    Coloured egg layer?!

    Is this chicken an Easter egger or any other breed that would lay coloured eggs? I thought I only had one EE but have been finding two blue eggs in the coop each day so suspect this one is laying a blue egg too. About 5 months old. Thanks!

    Bald eagle attacked one hen

    Hen losing chin/neck feathers

    Hello, I have a 9 month old hen and over the last 1.5-2 weeks I noticed the feathers on her chin/throat area are gone, like a complete bald patch. Every night it looks like new feathers are about to grow out from the skin and then a day later they are broken off again. One day she had a little...

    Rooster wattle / comb keep changing colour

    We have a 10 month old rooster and just last night we noticed all the skin on his face a dark purple colour. Went to grab something inside and by the time I went back out to the chickens it was pretty much turning back to red before my eyes. Next morning it looked more purple again. He has...
