    Growth between feathers?

    Hi all, two questions…. Found this growth on one of my ladies, between her feathers. Initially thought it was a tick but upon further inspection, appears to have feathers growing from it. Do you know what this is, and as I’ve been super lucky with the health, does anyone know if the dark spots...

    Egg problem?

    Hey all, I have 7 ladies but have not been getting more than 1 egg per day for the last several weeks. Most usually it’s the same gal laying. I’ve changed the food to see if that makes a difference and know weather changes and/or molting can cause less eggs but this just seems really unusual...

    Worm in poop?

    Hey all, have a flock of five which recently grew to 8. I’ve treated the pullets with Corrid as a precaution prior to introducing and have waited three weeks before fully integrating. The ladies have all been recently treated with ivermectin. Today, I found what looks to be a type of work in one...

    Help integrating

    hi all, I have five hens (about a year old) and in the process of adding 3 (eleven week) pullets. The lady on the lowest level of the pecking order made sure to ‘bully’ the new girls chasing and pecking them at every opportunity upon introduction yesterday. I separated them last night as I...

    Worms in egg or safe?

    hi all, noticed some strange white, threadlike strings in our eggs today. Can someone please share whether these are worms or something else, and what steps I may need to take? Thanks!

    Fecal question

    Hi all, this could be a very stupid question but one of my ladies seems to have poo stuck to her feathers beneath the vent area. It’s been cold here, and as a relatively new chicken owner, not sure if this is something I need to worry about or if I have to clean that for her?

    22 wk old hens, haven’t laid eggs yet but making “nests” in coop

    Hi all, this is my first flock and I’ve been loving every minute! Of course, still waiting for the big moment for one of the ladies to lay their first egg.... they are now 22 weeks and I’ve noticed that they have been going into their coop and pulling the material from the nesting boxes, along...

    20 wk orp missing feathers back of neck

    Hi all, my flock of five just turned 20 weeks. The buff orp who seems to be in charge, also seems to have lost some feathers at the back of her neck. I havent witnessed any fighting (though all the ladies do go head to head with each other), and none of the others are missing any feathers. Is...

    Day 3 Corid, and not sure it’s working.

    Hi all, started The flock on corid 1.5 tsp powder per gal on Friday after meeting with a local chicken owner. They shared that with the pullets being 9 weeks, probably better not to take a chance but I’m still seeing a lot of runny, brown poops. One was complete water. Any help is appreciated...

    New chicken mamma

    Hi from Georgia, new chicken mamma here! We have two EE, two buffs, and one OE. They are going on 9 weeks old, and we are just so in love with them. One of the EEs looks like a hawk with her coloring, while the other has a grey, almost square or boxy type head with a ombré beak. The OE is pure...
