    Saying goodbye to my baby

    I always knew the day I lost one of my four hens was going to come soon. They are all 4 years old, and have grown up together all their lives. I brought Waffles to the vet after noticing her gout was bringing her so much pain. It seemed like she finally couldn’t hold in her pain anymore. She...

    Chicken foot help (sprained ankle + scaly leg mites?) Please help

    Waffles, age 4.5, was really healthy and active, perfectly fine 3 days ago. She’s one of my most healthy, happy hens. Suddenly mid day day something mysterious happens and she starts acting very unbalanced and begins to hobble. I conclude her left leg must’ve been strained or sprained, as she...

I suspected egg bound, but she laid a perfect egg in the morning. Comb red, clear eyes, no cough or sneeze. Poop seems...

    My chickens as of 2025

    All 4 of my hens are now 4 years old :) They are all doing well, even Clementine who was diagnosed with carcinomatosis for more than 9 months now. I don’t know how she’s still holding on, she’s the strongest chicken i’ve ever darn seen. And she’s rocking an amazing healthy colored comb! Lukily...

    Chicken slow crop turned sour

    My hen has had a slow crop for 3 weeks after a particularly hard molt. I’ve been massaging but it stays pretty full. Today I went out and she was acting a bit less energetic. Her crop isn’t firm and is kind of squishy. Her breath smells slightly fishy, but only if i take a really deep whiff into...

    This is about my molting hen. At first I thought her crop was slow from the feather regrowth, but her crop has been getting more and more full and not emptying fast enough. it doesn't empty overnight. I've massaged her crop like twice a day for 3-4 days now! No change! She has not eaten any...

    Lethargic hen, puffed, sleepy

    My hen has never laid an egg in her 4 years of life dispite being healthy. She is like a chicken mystery. No she does not have any reproductive issues known that have affected her. Her belly is flat. Today I noticed she is acting sleepy, with puffed head feathers and a downwards tail. She’s...

    Cancer chicken is feeling good, but really green poo

    My hen has had diagnosed carcinomatosis for 6 months now! However she is still chugging along. She eats and drinks just fine and she dustbathed earlier today. Overall I think she is not in too much pain and she is doing fine. But her poops have been green for many many months. Usually they are...

    Mysterious loose, squishy crop

    My EE is 4 years old and she is a regular layer. She acts completely normally and her poops are fine and solid. I massaged her crop gently ONCE and it became very loose and squishy since then, seeming to lose its elasticity. It does not hang low but it does more so than my other hens. At the...

    Chicken honks/wheezes when breathing

    I will try to get a video later. She is not lethargic. She is able to squawk. She eats and drinks water. When I saw her, she would do a high wheeze when she breathed in, and I noticed she breathed a bit more heavily. I gave her a little olive oil and made her drink water and it stopped for a...

    Hen beak cracked, exposed tissue and blood

    Something just spooked my hens and caused one to presumably crash into a wall. One side of her beak cracked and a piece kind of bended away from her beak, leaving a sharp edge with exposed tissue. Blood has kind of flooded the area between her top outer beak and the top inside palette. There...

    Keeping chickens sure is hard 😅

    Nothing could have ever prepared me for the emotional toll taking care of even a small flock can have on you. I tend to struggle with anxiety over health related issues, so when my chickens inevitably go through patches of illness and troubles, I began to feel hopeless and scared to go and clean...

    Deworming struggles

    I am using Safeguard (1.5 mL) for a 8 lb chicken. She seemed to improve a bit in activeness after 2 days. However, my schedule is super inconsistent. I missed a day a few days ago so I just went on, and now I am hesitant to give her another dose today because I am unsure if her crop is...
