    Dead chick in egg

    I had the best hatch rate with this batch so far. 11 out of 12 hatched perfectly fine… this guy was the 3rd to pip through the egg and later on in the day I realized there was no movement at all, no chirping and didn’t react to chicks hitting his beak or the egg. Surly enough he was dead when I...

    Elector PSP

    I’m sure this has been asked a million times. However… I have been battling Red Roost Mites and lice for a while now. I seem to get it under control and then they are back. I finally ordered some Elector PSP for a final attempt. Just curious, how long will it take to get the mites out of the...

    Red roost mites

    I’ve had my first run in with these nasty little suckers. I’m relatively new to chickens (my oldest birds being just over a year). I started suspecting something was going on when all of my hens stopped laying completely. After reading a bit, I went out with a flashlight and sure enough, mites...

    Swollen eye

    What on earth is this? It started out small to where she looked like she got punched in the eye a few days ago. I separated her and continued to spray vetericyn on it. I missed yesterday due to a bunch of appointments I had going on and today it’s like this. I’ve read on coryza which I started...

    Laying in mud

    So my hen will go to the shallow spot in my pond and sit in the mud. It’s 50 degrees today. I will move her and she goes right back and just sits there with her eyes closed. Any idea why she is doing this?

    Bleeding beak

    I’ve noticed that two of my chicks have beaks like this. This particular one is hunched over like it has coccidia. I have already started treating for that however I find it strange that two birds have beaks like this. My other chicken that has this going on has started to limp on her left leg...

    Strange colored egg

    I found this two toned egg today and I’m wondering why it’s like this? It looks like it’s been bleached by the sun but that’s definitely not the case. This is a fresh egg that I gathered from my chicken coop.

    Snake?

    I went in the barn to put the chicks up for the night and found one of my 7 week old chicks like this. Her legs are straight back like her body was put in that position (I’m thinking a snake wrapping around her) and her neck looks as if she was trying to be swallowed but was too large so she was...

    Scaly leg mites?

    I’m not sure if this is what’s going on or not. None of my other birds feet look like this. I haven’t dealt with a molt yet either so I’m not entirely sure what that looks like. Just curious if I’m dealing with scaly leg mites or if her feathers are falling out due to molting? She did have a...

    Wyandotte to OEGB

    So my red laced black hen apparently has a thing for tiny guys. My Old English Game Bantam is the only roo she will let mate with her. I am just curious if I hatch an egg what the possible outcome could be!

    New hens

    Picked up 7 new laying hens (due to owner moving). Just curious on what I have. I guessed on a few and others I have literally no idea. I did see the “Olive Egger” lay a mint green egg. Can anyone help me figure these out?? TIA

    Worms

    Picking up 7 laying hens do to owners moving. One has worms but I would like to treat the whole flock including my current chickens. What is the best most effective and easiest wormer for multiple chickens? Thanks in advance.

    Wyandotte’s

    For my Roos I have a black laced red and I also have a silver laced. My hens are blue laced, silver laced, gold laced, splash laced, and black laced red. What chicks could I end up with from these combinations? Of course I know RLBW to each other and SLW to each other. I can’t seem to find...

    Coccidia

    I have some chicks that aren’t even a week old and I have noticed them pooping blood. What can I do to try and fix this before it kills them?

    Age

    I purchased 6 bantam chicks on June 13. They already had wing feathers so I was confused on the age! Can anyone tell about how old they are based on feather growth in these pictures? 2.5-3 weeks old possibly?

    Cream legbar lame foot

    I have a cream legbar that will be 2 mos old on the 9th. About 2 weeks ago I noticed her having trouble walking on one leg so I looked at it and thought possibly bumble foot. I treated her for that and it’s just gotten worse… her foot is completely curled in and she can bare no weight. Eating...

    Cornish and Wyandotte

    So I thought I had all slw eggs… I woke up this morning and apparently my silver laced roo got to one of my Cornish cross hens. I clearly ended up with one of each. However, I’m not sure what breed of chicken the yellow one will be! Any ideas??
