    Pullet pooping blood

    My 4+ month old pullet barnevelder didn't want to come out of the coop today. Just under her is a pile of bloody stools. She eats everything and has a tendency to over stuff her crop. She has to wear a crop bra all the time now. She isn't laying eggs yet. I'm wondering if she ate something...

    Pendulous crop

    So I have a 13-14 week old pullet. She started out with a problem of eating a full bowl of grit. I treated her for several days with nothing but water to help her remove the grit until her crop was empty. I put her back and then she filled her stretched out crop with food (all the food). After...

    I think my bantam rooster ate a small mouse whole. Is that normal?

    I found a small field mouse in the chicken run. I tried to catch it and my rooster went after it. It was cornered and my rooster was in the way to see it and it was gone. I think he must have eaten it whole. Is that safe for him? Can they digest a whole mouse? So disgusting

    Our first egg!!🥚💙

    Our sweet Easter egger Maid Marmalade was the last one I expected to lay the first egg. Her comb hasn't even really grown out yet she isn't even squatting yet. I figured it was going to be our Australorp who has been guarding the fake eggs. It turned out to be the cutest little blue-green fairy...

    Hen or roo?

    I have a barnevelder and a legbar I noticed skin showing where waddles tend to grow on both. I thought I got hens because they were the most feathered of the chicks. They are around 4weeks old. Could this be roo waddles forming?

    Does anyone know any tricks on barnevelder sexing?

    I read that an early tail means it's a boy and then I read the opposite. Just got it from wilco I think it's 2 weeks old not sure though.

    Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde bird

    Are sudden behavior changes normal? So suddenly my 9 week old sweet little cuddly roo decided to act like a crazy testosterone raging angry bird.
