    One of my buff girls died last night.

    Noticed yesterday she was distancing herself from flock and was just standing with feathers ruffled out. When I got her inside to look at her she had lots of poop on her bottom, what looked like a cut on her vent, and the whole area smelled horrible. I washed her and dried her with hair dryer...

    Rooster just sitting still with eyes closed???

    My Welsummer decided to get me this morning and I had to swing a plastic bowl at him to distract him. He jumped at the same time I swung and I hit him in the head. He didn't fall but it did knock him sideways. Now about 2 hours later he is just sitting with his eyes closed. I picked him up...

    I got an egg with two shells today.

    One of my 8 month old Brahma girls laid a very large egg today and when I picked it up from the nest the outer shell cracked. My finger went right through it and I just thought it was a thin shelled egg until I felt something hard under my finger. I took it in the house and sure enough there was...

    Light Brahm or Columbian Wyandotte?

They are very large now and are sparkling white with black tails and black and white necks. They are very calm and follow me around the yard. What is the...

    Big rooster fight today

    The "loser" is just lying around although I could not find any serious injuries. He had a little blood on his legs, feet, and head but no open wounds I could see. How long does it take to get back to normal?

    Need advice on combining flocks.

    I have 4 groups of rescue chickens (we are out in the country and my neighbor decided they didn't want their chickens any more and set them free only to have at least half eaten by predators) that I need to make into one group. Right now there are 4 roosters with 4 or 5 hens each. One rooster is...

    How long after stressful situation will hens lay again?

    We were evacuated for wildfire in Texas and had to leave 11 hens behind. We were gone for 6 days but they had plenty of water and feed. That was 2 weeks and still no eggs from any of them. I think we had lots of low flying helicopters dropping water about 1/2 mile away and a DC10 flying low...

    Update on injured hen

    About 2 weeks I asked for help and suggestions for one of my hens that had been attacked by 6 others. She was badly injured and her scalp had been pecked so bad it literally rolled down on both sides of her head to the ear openings. I just wanted to say thanks to those who offered suggestions...

    Badly injured hen, need advice

    For some reason in the middle of the night 4 of our hens turned on the 5th one and almost killed her. When I found her the next morning she was standing in the corner of the coop with blood all over her head. I picked her up and she did not fight me so I knew she was in bad shape. On examination...
