    What the heck?? Egg has a new look

    Hello! I'm about 3 years in and have never seen an egg like this before! A google search says calcium overload, the egg being in a gland for too long, or stress/illness. But wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this and has any tips or advice? TIA

    Is this Coccidiosis?

    Hey y'all, My 2 year old Rhode Island Red, Patsy, is under the weather. She is usually high energy but today she's lethargic (to the point of falling asleep standing up), isolating herself, feathers looking rough near the tail feathers, and white and green liquid poop. I haven't seen her drink...

    Not sure what to call this

    Hi! Just out with my chickens when I noticed a bulge on my chicken's back. Further inspection under the feathers and I found this clump? Not sure what to make of it. She's letting me touch it and she's not acting out of character. Anyone know what I'm dealing with? Thanks!

    Hoarse Chicken

    Hi! I've been looking through old threads hoping to answer my question with no luck. So I'm posting a new thread. I have a flock of 5 pullets all around 8 weeks old. About 3 of them are sounding hoarse. No obvious wheezing or breathing issues. Just their voices are sounding hoarse. I thought...

    Cyst?

    Hello! My Rhode Island Red is about 7 weeks old and today I noticed a yellow pimple like mound on the back of her tail end under the feathers. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it and only picked around it while she was doing her usual cleaning. Online it seems to be a follicle cyst and makes...

    How to Raise Healthy Chicks

    Hi! So my partner and I started out with 7 chicks that we picked up from a local feed store 16 days ago. Unfortunately we had one die of unknown causes the first week and another die after two weeks from what seemed like brooder pneumonia. I know that it's common to lose a few chicks in the...

    New to the crew!

    Hello! I have always wanted to raise chickens since I was a kid and saw all the 4-H kids doing it. I'm finally living my dream at 28! We have a group of 5 baby chicks that we picked up at a local feed store and are going on week 3 with them. I apologize in advance for any spelling errors but...
