    6 week old chick with wry neck

    Hello I need some help determining how much to feed our little one (6 weeks old) with wry neck. Right now we do have to feed her by syringe since she won't eat much by herself so we have been giving her 1cc of rooster booster and an egg yolk or two via syringe. Is that enough she's a jersey...

    Older chicken not doing well

    Hi I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do. I'm currently watching someones sick chicken while they are out of town and before I started watching them their parents noticed they were lame but with no signs of bumblefoot or leg injury. It's largely her left leg and it seems to randomly do better...

    Early Mite Treatment: Diatomaceous Earth and Garlic Juice?

    Hello! The other day we picked up new chicks and put them in with our broody mama in a hamster cage in our garage (semi quarantining). We started noticed these past couple days incredibly tiny bigs scurrying around the cage. We are pretty sure it's mites and we are pretty sure we've caught it...

    Lets play who's the mama

    Our little silkie hen just hatched out three eggs from our mixed flock and at first glance I was pretty sure I knew who was from who.... however we think the grey chipmunk looking one might actually be from our silkie since they have feathered legs and only our silkie has fancy feet. But the...

    Heat Exhaustion?

    So I'm a bit worried about our Easter egger Hawk she's a pretty fluffy gal and doesn't do well with heat at all. We provide shade, water and "peepsicles" but we went outside and she was super lethargic. Occasionally she would get up and wander around rather listlessly typically with her eyes...

    What color would you call this chicken?

    Hi wasn't sure where to post this so here will do I guess! We have a cockerel that is a barnyard mix (Starlight green egger x olive egger) who looks absolutely gorgeous and is like 8 different colors. We've been calling him Van Gogh but I'm curious if this is like an actual pattern or if he's...

    Chicken going to nesting box after dark?

    I'm not sure if this is an issue yet but the behavior was so odd it had me worried. Basically tonight at around 10:30pm I went out to feed our horses so I stopped by the coop like normal to count chickens and noticed one was "missing". I checked the coop and found her sitting in a nesting box...

    Probably not serious: Black dot on pullets comb

    It's probably nothing but we noticed a hard black dot on our pullets comb. I'm assuming its a scab or something that maybe healed weird but it's definitely not something that would come off. I'll include pics but I basically just wanted to post this to make sure it wasn't something to actually...

    Mild Wry Neck in Chick?

    Hi one of our two week old chicks seems to be pretty consistently tilting her head towards her left shoulder. It's rather mild and she does seem to be able to move it in the other direction as well it almost seems like she defaults to tilting her head. I'll post pictures we have increased their...

    Couple day old chick with naval protrusion

    We hatched our first eggs these past couple days and this little one has been concerning us. She's completely bright eyed and bushy tailed and seems like a perfectly normal chick.... minus the bump. We gave her an extra night in the incubator but I'm a bit worried that might've made things worse...

    Rooster Mating Feather Loss

    Hi! This isn’t a super big problem just yet but it’s not getting better. One of our hens has been showing signs of feather loss along her back. We looked at it and decided to get Baba Yaga (the hen) a saddle. Well we got one for her and idk if it’s just that it doesn’t fit great or if we need...

    Silkie hen hatching/brooding questions

    Hi! So let me start off by saying that this is all still rather new to us so I have a couple questions. So we have a little silkie hen who has recently started to go a bit broody. We've still been taking the eggs but I'm starting to think about if we should just let her keep a couple and see if...

    Hen laid soft shelled squishy egg

    So one of our hens Goldilocks was acting strange last night. Looking on our cams we saw she was sleeping on the ground which she’s never done before. She was also up on and off until approx midnight. I have a vid of her trying to possibly pass an egg (and failing) from last night though I don’t...

    My flocks weirder behaviors

    So I kinda wanted to ask people what they think of a couple weirder things that our chickens will do. Misty our oddly broody laying machine™️ actually gets up hours before sunrise just to go sit in a nesting box? She will stay in there for a couple hours but it’s been weird how consistently...

    Rooster acting up

    Our rooster Ducky (5 months old I believe) has recently become a lot more…. Hormonal? Basically as his ladies have gotten closer to laying he’s become a lot more protective. He seems to believe I am challenging his rooster status. I think he might have also done this with my mom but only like...

    Possible ingrown feather?

    Hi! Recently our rooster got his tail feathers ripped out. It for the most part just looks normal however one part of it looks red and maybe swollen? It also seems that small feathers are growing from it. I don’t know if it’s an ingrown feather or just a feather growing back normally? Honestly I...
