    This is a lash egg right?

    So I have a three year old hen, Redrum (I think I posted on her about her before), who stopped laying eggs in March of 2024 and then laid a lash egg in June 2024. We don’t have vets near us to take her to and none will even see her. So last year I tried all the natural home remedies I could...

    Severe pendulous crop

    This is a long post! Sorry but I have a lot of info to share! I posted a couple months ago about my two year old black copper Maran hen, Truffles, and her battle with sour/pendulous crop. I had gotten some good advice and have tried just about everything. She has had sour crop since Dec 2024...

    Question regarding young roosters!

    Sorry this is a little long! We have two 7 month old roosters, Nicodemus (or Nico), a Buff Orpington and Graybeard, a Green Queen. They grew up together in the same clutch. They had another brother in their clutch who was a crossbeak, and we found a good home for him. We would like to keep...

    Is this sour crop and what should I do next??

    So I have a 1.5 year old black copper Maran named, Truffles. I noticed a little over a week ago that her crop seemed full when I got the hens out in the morning. She hadn’t had access to water or food yet at that point in the morning so I started worrying about sour crop. Her crop does feel...

    18 Week Old Green Queen Rooster Needs a Home!!

    I have an 18 week old gray Green Queen rooster in need of a flock to protect/lead. This is Graybeard. He’s a little timid and has never tried to hurt or attack us. We hatched four chicks this summer and three were roosters so unfortunately we need to find them homes. I’d like to find him a...

    Did I just hurt my chicken with permethrin 10?!?

    Has anyone ever had a chicken react negatively to permethrin 10 soak? I found mites on a hen and soaked her for one min diluting 1.5 oz in just over a gallon of water. She’s standing as if she’s sick and walking slow and funny and hanging out in the corner of the room. She’s also moving her...

    The infamous question: Roo or Hen?!?

    Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...

    Possible crossbeak chick…

    Hello! We have a hen who is raising 4 chicks. The chicks were hatched at a friend’s house who got the eggs from a hatchery. Anyways, I noticed one of the buff Orpington chicks’ (not sure yet if it’s male or female) beak looking “off.” I was able to pick it up and take this video. The chick...

    Is momma hen too aggressive??

    Ok so we have a one year old speckled Sussex who went really broody about two weeks ago which was perfect timing because I was getting 4 chicks this past weekend. I introduced her to the babies when they were a day old. At first she seemed a little overwhelmed but now she has accepted them...

    I think my chick had brooder pneumonia/aspergillus and she’s healed!

    I wanted to share this because I had a sick chick last week and couldn’t find anything that could help me. The day before Easter (4/8) my chick started breathing more heavily and faster than the other chicks. No one else in my family noticed anything so I figured, being a nurse, I was just...

    Bruised legs and can’t walk!

    Hi everyone! I have a problem with one of my hens and hoping I can get some suggestions! One of our buff hens was found by my dad about 8-10 feet from the road unable to put weight on her legs. I had seen her just and hour and a half earlier with the other hens and she was completely normal...

    Buff Rooster or Pullet?

    We purchased 4 straight run buff Orpington chicks back in June and they are about 6-7 weeks old now. I know it could be a little too soon but one of the 4 looks like it could be a rooster. It’s feathers have grown in a little differently than the others and it is the only one with a comb that...
