    Egg laying after sickness

    Hi! We’ve had a crazy spring with sickness and my girls have drastically reduced their egg production. We went from approximately 15/16 (17 hens laying age) a day to maybe 4-6. Is there anything we can do to promote laying again? We do have two roosters, as well, so I want to be sure it’s...

    What’s going on with this eye?!

    Y’all. We have had a heck of a spring here. Coccidiosis treatment, upper respiratory, mystery illness, and now one of my RIR girls is walking around with her eye shut. She was fine this morning, but when I went out a couple of hours later, she was like this. Nothing else appears to be happening...

    Egg bound? HELP!

    My year old lavender Orpington was acting strange this morning. Just standing alone and staring. She is usually right up in my business and never turns down food, but she didn’t even acknowledge me. Brought her in for a soak, felt around, massaged, and nothing happened. When I went back to clean...

    What am I dealing with?! Coccidiosis or something respiratory??

    We’re dealing with our first flock sickness. Oldest members just turned one and the youngest are around 9/10 weeks. Started Monday with noticing one of the newer pullets was acting off. Yesterday I observed bloody poo from her. We thought coccidiosis and started Corid. Now my older chickens are...

    Weird humming?

    A couple of my girls have been making a humming sound the last day or so. It’s pretty constant. I’m not sure if something is wrong or not. I just had to start treating for coccidiosis in the last 24 hours as well. Could it be related?? I’m kind of freaking out.

    Poop question

    Hi! I have a 9/10 wk old pullet that we’re transitioning to the big run and I’ve noticed her acting a little off. I isolated her yesterday for a bit and she perked back up so I kind of chalked it up to stress from moving. But I’m seeing these poops this morning in their transition area. What am...

    What is this comb?!

    Ok, this is my girl, Waffles. We aren’t sure on her breed… she was supposed to be Speckled Sussex but she’s clearly not. We thought maybe a Wyandotte, but still not really sure. Her comb has me confused, too. It doesn’t look like any of our others (single comb, pea) or any pics I’ve seen. Thoughts??

    Weird Silkie feathers

    I picked up our little silkie roo the other day (trying to make him love me) and noticed these extremely hard, brittle spots on his wings. Is it just really intense pin feathers?? Or something else? He’s about 6 months old.

    Beginnings of crossbeak??

    We picked up these sweet little Easter Eggers earlier in the week and I was looking them over tonight before bed and it looks like this baby’s beak may be a little off kilter. Not the best picture between a wiggly chick and my basement lighting… but am I seeing things? Or are we going to have a...

    Comb Type??

    This is my girl, Waffles. We aren’t sure what breed she is (possibly a Wyandotte or Welsummer cross). Her comb is super flat and looks unlike any pictures I’ve looked at trying to identify the type. Thoughts??

    Silkie help?!

    This silkie started crowing this morning. 100% thought it was a hen. Is “she” a he?! Or a crowing hen?? I’ve added some current pics and a few from about a month ago.

    Silkie Roo with standard hens?

    We have a sweet little silkie roo in our flock that has hit puberty and he’s a tiny fella (smallest in our flock). All of hens are standard size except one silkie and she’s still 2x his size. My question is, is he going to be ok with our bigger girls? Or is he going to need a smaller flock of...

    Girls ganging up

    My hens have started hanging up on one of the other girls. They’ve all been together since day one. Not real sure what’s changed other than they’re about 4 months old so hormones are raging around here. She’s sitting on my shoulder to avoid everyone else 😭 Is there anything I can do?

    Two roosters

    Well. It happened. This morning I heard our rooster crow. Then I heard ANOTHER crow from a different one. I had suspect that this different one might also be a rooster, but now I know for sure 😅 My question is, can they live together peacefully? One is a Lavender Orpington and the other is a...

    What’s this?!

    What do you think Waffles is?? She was *supposed* to be a speckled sussex, but obviously not. I’ve been thinking a Wyandotte mix? But I’d like other opinions! She’s right at 4 months old.

    Black Brahma

    Anyone have a black Brahma?? I’d love to see pictures if you do!! Not dark; BLACK. I got this one from a breeder who is working on their own line of Isabell Brahma. It’s the only one out of 5 that survived. I’ve tried searching online for other black Brahmas, but can’t seem to find any.

    Chipped Beak

    I noticed this evening my littlest silkie has somehow managed to chip it’s upper beak. It doesn’t seem to be in pain and is eating and drinking ok. Is there anything I can/should do to help??

    Normal chicken legs??

    Is this a normal foot/leg?? I’m so paranoid about scaly leg mites 😬

    Buff or light brahams??

    I was thinking we had one buff and one light Brahma, but now I’m not so sure. They’re starting to look more similar. What do y’all think??

    Expanding TSC Coop?

    Has anyone expanded/converted a Producer’s Pride Sentinel coop+run from TCS into a larger coop? We are looking at having ten-ish hens total and it’s getting too small QUICK. Our flock current range between 6-10wks, so it’s not crazy crowded, but it won’t be long. My dad gifted me this coop, so...
