    What is this in a dropping?

    I went to clean the coops as I do bi weekly and found an unusual dropping. My birds have had roundworm before so we deworm annually but I don’t recall seeing this before. Is this larva of some sort or this something else? East TN, flock of 30, 1 rooster, free choice coop and large run until...

    Foot injury/not bumble

    My cousin just sent me this of her young rooster. They live in East Texas and he is about 24 weeks if I’m recalling right. They say he is limping and sent me this picture because I’ve had chickens for years. However, i do not have any feather feet breeds. To me it appears an inflamed erupting...

    What is wrong with Fluffy?

    I’ve tried looking for answers before posting but as I don’t even have a clue what’s wrong with Fluffy- it’s hard to search. I was outside in the runs at the coop doing weekly big clean out(removing feathers, changing bedding, refreshing sweetpdz, cleaning and filling waters and feeders) and I...

    Broken EE?

She has been laying green eggs, good sized, decent hardness of shell about 4 a week for 2 months. Our temperatures dropped this week and I’m...

This particular bird has been in a brooder coop with one friend. It is outdoors, covered, and mostly shaded. They eat organic chick crumbles and...

    Large swollen red bulge on behind- help!

    I have an almost year older BPR layer. My daughters noticed she had a dirty behind. I started washing her on the low shower setting from our hose attachment which allowed me to see she had dried clumps in her butt fluff. I ended up cutting away the clumps and that revealed her really red and...

    Several pullets with balding backs- anything I should do to help?

    Hello- We have a flock of 30 made up of 8-3yo hens, 14- pullers, 1 rooster almost a year and 6 new hatches. I’ve noticed within the last months that my black astralorps are loosing feathers on their back between their wings. A few of my comets have show similar feather loss but not as...

    What is THIS?

    So I noticed my chicken being lethargic today. She just stands around the yard. Doesn’t move when approached. Not her crop. Pretty sure she laid today based off amount of her color. I cleaned her butt off in case the little bit of poop there was the problem. Then I noticed her preening with the...

    First time dealing with round worm(?)

    Ugh. Hardly a year in and we’ve had sour crop, rounds and rounds of bubble foot, molting, and now this morning I found a VERY soft egg under the roosting bar and then just found a soft poo with 2 worms in it. They hopped up on an old brooder coop that they perch on sometimes. Clearly worms. Is...

    Lethargic / closed eyed/ low tail feathers

    The more chickens the more problems? 😩 My daughters beloved EE seems off. She’s 19w now. Not laying yet. Coop has plenty of ventilation and room to perch.It’s not over 65 degrees here so it’s not from heat. She is open mouth breathing, lethargic, and her left eye is often closed(last picture)...

    Worms?

    Ugh. I’m afraid my chickens(17w) have worms. They’ve been “molting” for 5 weeks. there are 18 of them so not sure if they’ve been molting this whole time or just one after the other. Or if the feather loss is a symptom of a worm issue? They look like healthy birds but I take their run every 2...
