    4 month old Pavlovskaya pullet.

    I have a 4 month old Pav who has been under the weather. Three days ago, I noticed her being kind of listless and hunched over. She has never been a ball of fire like the Swedish Flower hen and Hmong roo I got at the same time from Sugar Feather Farms. I have started her on poultry cell. She is...

    Wildfire Smoke?

    I live in North Dakota and we had a few days of critically dangerous air quality here. Keeping the chickens inside wouldn't have been helpful since they don't have a filtration system. The smoke has abated somewhat. Today, I noticed my Cuckoo Marans hen (4 years old but typically amazingly...

    1.5 year old Brahma hen passed egg white from vent.

    Jean harlow, my year old brahma hen had trouble with a lash egg 6 months ago and I administered antibiotics (250 MG Cephalexin 2x a day for 7 days). She had no issues after that until today. She seemed kind of droopy and not herself (just today) and was standing in front of me and looked like...

    These two are confusing.

    Chicken hock or hip problem?

    This girl in front is Grace Kelly. 3 year old Ameraucana. She is walking with a weird limp that is NOT bumblefoot. I think she may have injured her hock. Yesterday I gave her Loxicom and an epsom salt soak. No change. Today I wrapped that hock loosely with 3M drawing poultice and vet wrap, gave...

    Mites, depluming mites, lice

    I have issues! Can I get a one-stop post for my questions from people who have dealt with this before? I found these crawling on my easter egger near her back end and vent. It is lice, correct? I also saw crawling black specks like pepper on another. That is mites, correct? I also have a hen who...

    Three year old Cochin hen with maggots/worms in vent

    It finally happened here. UGH. My cochin bantam Lucille Ball was in the nest for too long (she has tendency to get broody) and I made her come out. I found she had dark brown stains in the back feathers, took a look and saw white maggots or worms (my worst ick). I got her out of the nest and ran...

    Introducing a single 16 week Icelandic pullet

    Does anyone have experience introducing a single pullet about 16 weeks into a flock of 24 hens (various ages, sizes and breeds). I have limited space and winters are sometimes harsh here, but I would really like to have this Icelandic hen.

    Two light Brahma Pullets

    But are they both pullets? These two, Veronica Lake and Jean Harlow, are 14 weeks old tomorrow. They are growing fast (or slowly-for brahmas), but they are starting to NOT look identical in the tail feathers...

    3 year old Starlight Green Egger

    This girl is having issues. She has a hard red abdomen and red feet. I have given antibiotics (fish mox)for three days and she is pulling out of something slowly. I have given her warm epsom salt soaks and 1000 mg calcium for maybe being egg bound. Her crop empties . She was looking like she was...

    Strombergs?

    Has anyone ordered from Strombergs on here? You can't really choose shipping date but they have low minimums. I've sent them several messages with no reply. I tried calling once with no answer. Just wondering about your experiences with them.

    I am having a rooster issue.

    I have a sebright rooster (less than a year old) and his son, a sebright Belgian bantam mix, six months old. I had several hens go broody in the last couple of weeks and one was a buff Orpington, about 2.5 years old. She was formerly at the bottom of the pecking order, but no one went out of...

    Water coming out of my chicken's beak.

    Bettie was feeling kind of down today. Her crop isn't really hard but when picked her up to put her ina a cage water came out of her beak and she was kind of gurgly. Just two weeks ago. I thought she had a soft egg because yolk was coming out of her. I gave her calcium and fish mox for three...

    Egg Bound Easter Egger

    I think I have an egg bound Easter Egger hen. In the last month, she started laying (I now assume it was her) huge blue eggs that were kind of thick and grainy with strong shells. These were almost the size of goose eggs and double yolkers and there were about three. Then I thought she went back...

    Post Surgery for Bumblefoot.

    I treated my easter egger hen for two months for bumblefoot with soaking (betadine and alternating epsom salt), one small surgery, antibiotic powder on a pad and wrapping. I finally got her in to the vet in town (mostly because I can't stand to cut them and my husband is reluctant to help...
