  1. Rose the Legbar

    Hey, I’m back again with my legbar hen thats having issues.

    I truly don’t know what is going on. Every year she molts, has some crop problems, looks like she is on deaths freaking doorstep, then bounces back after she finished molting. This year she molted, her crop stopped up like normal, I expected it this year and didn’t panic like the other two years...

    Cockerel question again.

    I have this cockerel who I think is 24 weeks old by this point. He only really mates one hen but he always forces himself on her and she screams LOUD every time. Like the “I’m being murdered” sort of scream. She is also sort of going bald at this point from him too. He does sometimes wing dance...

    Young cockerel question with behaviors

    I have a cockerel who is around 4 months old. He is deathly afraid of me and hates being near me and is otherwise pretty good and not human aggressive. However he isn’t the nicest to my hens or pullets. He will steal food sometimes just taking it from their beak or even pecking at the top of my...

    Please help, I am at a loss

    This morning my hen didn’t leave the coop. She was still on the roost bars and wouldn't come down. Her face is pale and she was panting a little bit. My first thought was egg bound but her tail wasn't pumping and she did poop, but it was just liquid. I currently have her soaking in an epson salt...

    Please help, what is this on her feet?

    It doesn’t look like bumblefoot but the scales are raised and dark everywhere else on her feet are fine, just those. I am going to soak her feet in epson salt right now but she doesn’t seem to have any discomfort from her feet. Her breed is salmon faverolles and she walks differently than my...

    Anyone know what could be going on with her feathers?

    Hello! This is my 1.5 year old Opal Legbar. A few weeks ago she had some pretty bad crop issues and lost a ton of weight. And of course at the same time she had to molt. But I noticed those few weeks ago in addition that her shoulder feathers looked frayed and curled. They are also very brittle...

    Please help with moving forward with this hen

    So I have a hen that has had a slow crop for around 4 weeks now. She hasn’t gotten better and her crop isn’t getting smaller even with me massaging it and giving her mineral oil. I’ve been giving her wet all flock feed. Her crop I believe has sand in it from eating her coop bedding but it...

    Chicken with impacted crop… again

    I have a hen who has an impacted crop. I thought she was just feeling awful because she is molting but I just realized that her crop hasn’t gone down in a week. But the weird thing is that she got the same sort of pre crop impaction “signs” and the crop impaction is happening at the same time as...

    Spitzhaubens, what are their personalities like?

    Hello! I am wondering about personalities of Appenzeller Spitzhaubens. I’ve seen many articles of them being flightly but a lot of spitz owners have said they are super sweet and cuddly. So, I have no idea which is true or if it was a few one offs. I plan on getting 6 chamois and 6 gold...

    Greenfire’s Spitzhaubens?

    Hello! I am thinking about ordering some chamois and golden spangled Spitz from Greenfire next year. They cost practically the same amount that cackle would after small order fees and I am pretty sure Greenfire has a much better stock. I am wondering if anyone has gotten Spitz from Greenfire...

    Chick’s comb dangling off her face and her beak is chipped.

    Exactly what the title says. I came home today to my favorite Favorelle chick’s comb being completely ripped off her head and the top of her beak being chipped. I think it was like that for about and hour and a half from the amount of dead tissue the comb had (photo below of when I just found...

    Is this normal while trying to integrate chicks?

    This is a lot of words and sounds like a essay, but I tried to document everything so I can see if I did anything wrong and how to fix it. I have 2 adult hens. Both a bit over a year old. I am trying to integrate my 8 week old chicks but it has been going very poorly from what little I know...

    Hens stopped laying?

    It’s been about a week now that my 1 year old hens have stopped laying. I gave them dewormer about a week ago and I also took up a quarter of their run space and started letting my chicks outside to try and start integrating them. Two days after the dewormer one of my birds gave me a egg but now...

    Is it normal for hens to sit and watch the chicks on the other side of the fence?

    About a week or so ago I took over a little bit less than a half of my hen’s run space to be able to start integrating my 4 (now 5) week old chicks using the see but no touch method. For a week now (the whole time the chicks have been there) my two hens just sit on the ground right by the...

    5 week old easter egger, is it a boy?

    A day or two ago the comb was under the fluff of Pueo’s head and the next day it looked like this. I’ve heard that 3 rows is 100% male… I hope this one isn‘t a cockerel, this is my most outgoing and friendly chick.

    Yellow urates? What does it mean?

    For 2 days my SLW’s urates have been very yellow. The yellow did start however after I gave her dewormer as she was acting off and I thought it could be worms (as i never had dewormed her until then). She is still acting fine and normal, pooping normal and all. The poop in the back was her...

    Will I be able to move my 4 week old chicks outside soon?

    The chicks will be outside with a little bit of air draft but I am making a place where they can still get under their heat plate that’s out of the draft. Is it okay to do this as there is going to be a heat source that’s out of wind draft? I really hope that i’ll be able to get them out of...

    almost 4 week old easter egger, pullet or cockerel guesses

    I really really hope this fluff isn’t a boy, it’s my favorite chick and will come to greet me and run into my lap. I have been noticing however that between normal chirps it makes a chirp that sounds like a squeaky door hinge and i know cockerels have different voices than pullets so I am kind...

    Chick’s wing is still looking odd and not sitting correctly

    She is around a week old at this point. Salmon flavorolle. I noticed this probem when she started getting wing feathers in (i’ll show those photos first) then i think it has gotten worse? Photos of each wing spread out as well. One of the photos is of her normal wing. The last photo is of her...

    Is this is a broken wing on a 4 day old chick?

    Background: I got this salmon flavorolle chick with a easter egger chick 3 days ago. At the time i didn’t notice her wing like this as the feathers weren’t grown in. But yesterday i noticed the wing feathers looked off. I tried to gently spread the wing but the very end of the wing wouldn’t...
