    Seriously! What’s wrong with my girls?!

    I’ll post a video: These white crusty buns have been like this. I posted another thread about it, because one of the two black hens had some time of organ tissue come out of her. Unfamiliar and emergent, I immediately pulled it out, later to find out that wasn’t the best idea. She’s acted...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    So, I could write a bunch of words, but I really think the video speaks for itself! I waited a day to post to see if maybe it stopped, but it definitely has not. He's happy and (seemingly) healthy, currently checking out his handsome reflection in the dishwasher's collection of clean, silver...

    Please help — Circulation / Respiratory?

    I have an indoor/outdoor cockerel about 20-22 weeks old (guesstimate). He’s lively and very active. Last night, the back of his comb and the very tips of the top of the last few little spikes looked slightly purple and almost… deadening. I gave him water in case he was dehydrated and since I...

    Barred Plymouth Rock rooster/cockerel with BROWN feathers?

    He’s between 18-20 weeks and is going through a big molt. This molt is bringing in both really pretty brown feathers as well as feathers that flip backwards. Is this standard? Is there such thing as a mixed chicken breed? (I’m obviously new.) I’ll attach photos.

    What’s wrong with her bum?!

    So I have a small flock, and two of the hens, my two rustic ramblers, have this white stuff that keeps crumbling on their vent. They also let out air that causes a squirty sound (yes, sorry, I know, gross). It’s been like this now for weeks. One of the girls, I had a different post about her...

    Raising an indoor cockerel, advice?

    I have a cockerel (18-20ish weeks). We rescued him thinking he was a hen that we could incorporate into our small outdoor flock, as we already have too few hens. Since he’s a rooster, and we already have one, he would not last outside for a minute before being just absolutely destroyed. He’s...

    Prolapsed oviduct?! I JUST REMOVED IT!

    We are new to chickens, in other words, shamefully ignorant and not enough educated. One of my chickens had something disgusting hanging from her vent. Immediately I cleaned her and removed it. THEN I googled. Sounds like I just removed her oviduct. And everything online is saying my other...

    Fowl pox in chick 12-16 weeks old; vaccines/treatment?

    Hello, I have a happy, seemingly healthy young chick born mid April. She showed a few black spots on her comb. One quickly became inflamed and scabbed over. Now she has one on her eye and one on her chest. They get bigger daily. Is this fowl pox? If so, do I just use the sprays or vaccinate? If...

    How to introduce 7 week old chick to flock?

    I have a small flock of four chickens, one being a rooster. Two of the females are boisterous. They will likely fight as they have before in grown chicken introductions. This chick is very docile and small and will definitely be killed if I just toss her in. At what point, and to which method...
