    Sick? Mareks?

    Hi everyone. I have a hen (two years old) who suddenly is struggling to walk. I’ve checked for bumble foot and her feet pads are clean and normal. I’ve checked for mites (none) She will walk but she seems to kind of lean and if any of the other hens pick on her she’ll fall over to her side. Most...

    "She's" crowing...?

    This is Rice. Rice is about 16 weeks old and this morning I watched "her" crow. Rice is an Easter egger and was purchased from a local farm where I've gotten most of my hens from. I've also added my Oliver egger (grey bird) who seems to have many curved tail feathers. Thoughts?

    Potentially end bound?

    Hi everyone. My 10 mo old buff Orpington hen is acting pretty strange. I noticed her kind of "off" just not really scratching the ground and closing her eyes at one point so I tried to see if she'd eat and offered her a mini half of a tomato. She then began twisting her neck in the oddest way...

    My girl caught her first worm

    Just wanted to share because I was so proud! She has a weird neck and I'm happy she's moving around and doing things normally. I treated with vitamin e, vitamin e & a little selenium and her neck is still just like that. Not sure if it's a physical deformity? Or if she just needs longer...

    First chicken death. No visible assymptoms?

    I came home from work today and one of my black australorps was laying down in the run and wouldn't really move. When I lifted her, she felt cold.

    Favorite hen ate a screw- Hospital stay

    Hi everyone! Not sure if it's the right place to post as it's not an active emergency but we sure did have one. I noticed on Thursday that my favorite (shhhh) hen Midnight was acting a bit odd. Not entirely too different but she didn't come to me when I brought a tomato out and she was kind of...

    Still concerned over 2 week old chick

    Hi everyone. I made a post last week regarding my spring chicks. I got 3 chicks from a local farmer. One olive egger, Easter egger, and an accidental Polish. The Polish died overnight and I contacted the person who reported they are not selling them anymore due to them being in poor health. I...

    Hi everyone. I received my spring order of chicks late yesterday afternoon and woke up to a dead chick :( She was actually not part of my order and was accidentally given to me instead of my actual order but I went back to get my additional chick, and decided to keep her. She was the loudest...

    Are these mites?

    Hi! Are these mites? I checked twice and couldn't see anything moving. I was able to take some off and looked at it very closely with a flashlight and it just looks like dirt. I checked his neck which was clear and didn't have any. I checked his lower back and there were some tiny specks but...

    Is this impacted crop?

    Hi everyone. I have a hen who was being picked on. I brought her in, cleaned her up and checked on her yesterday morning. I noticed her crop was full (I bring their food out every morning so they have no access to food until morning) I thought maybe it could've been because I fed her later in...
