    What is this bulge? / Not Laying Eggs

    Meet Cammi, a sassy 1 yr old Cream Legbar chicken. She and her other cream legbar have always had a hefty sack back there, so i never thought anything of it. (The other cream legbar died though because of egg peritonitis.) Over the last couple weeks or so, i have noticed we dont have her...

    Bumblefoot Treatment - how long?

    About two months ago, Cammi got bumblefoot on both her feet. This is our first time treating bumblefoot, so we don't really understand the process I guess. We did several epsom salt baths and pulled out white things a few times. For about a month, we pulled of the scab and redressed it almost...

    Rooster Broken Spur Injury

    One morning, about a week ago or so, I found my rooster (1 yr old) bleeding from his spur. Since we are currently dealing with bumblefoot, we had the first aid kit handy. I took him inside and doctored it up. I am not sure where it came from, but the blood track started on the floor of the coop...

    Cream Legbar (1 yr) Has Odd, Non-Contagious Symptoms

    This is Petra and Cammi, my two cream legbars. Recently, over the past month or two, Petra has been developing some odd symptoms. I hope you can help me figure it out. First, she was laying down all the time, tail tucked, and we noticed she was not laying eggs. She also had some build up...

    Breeding with Speckled Sussex roo

    We got 4 "breeds" of chickens and can't help but wonder what baby chicken offspring would look like if they crossed with my Speckled Sussex rooster. I mostly wonder about how to breed egg color. Any ideas? We are not attempting to get into breeding as of now, but can't I dream? lol Speckled...

    Ari's Eye

    I've got a 10 week old Easter Egger who is having an issue with her eye. Likely I am just an overworried "mother hen," but wanted to make sure it isn't anything more serious. You can see in the picture that her left eye is closed, none of the beard is irritating the eye. Yesterday and today are...

    Luffa Sponge Gourd Tracking

    I live in zone 5 (on the edge of zone 6) in Missouri and we are trying out sponge gourds in our garden this year. I know sponge gourds can be very difficult to grow, almost as if its luck that determines if you get a gourd or not. This is our second year for trying them - the spring 2021 had...

    Day 13: Questions about ID, treats, crops, etc.

    New parent here... so many questions! Q1. We have been having trouble with some runny poop / diarrhea. But not everyone has it. I am creating a poop diary to see if we can pin down any connections. The Easter Eggers are easy to tell apart, but the three other breeds have two very similar...

    12 Chickens: A Meaningful Number?

    My partner and I recently moved to Missouri in 2020 and finally just started our chicken family this year in 2022. As of right now, we have our first 12 chickens: 2 cream legbars, 4 easter eggers, 3 speckled sussex, and 3 splash-laced red wyandottes. We turned (are still turning) an extra, old...
