    Bumblefoot? Foot injury?

    Hello! I'm hoping to get some confirmation in my thoughts and guidance. I got home for my lunch break and found one of my girls was limping pretty badly. She's about 6 months old and a barred rock (currently laying). My husband and I grabbed her to inspect her foot and found she has a fleshy...

    20 week old pullet laying two eggs AT ONCE

    I have a 20 week old barred rock pullet that yesterday afternoon was laying in the run, puffed up, eyes closed and not wanting to move. I brought her inside, gave her a good warm soak and when picking her up out of the water she passed a soft shelled egg and what looked to be a completely...

    First egg!! Which chicken laid it?

    So today we found our very first egg! Our pullets are 18 weeks old today so this is very exciting, we weren't expecting anything for a few more weeks at least! Now.. hindsight is 20/20, but looking back I should have gotten chickens that laid different colored eggs to help my sanity in figuring...

    Help! Lethargic chicken

    Hello, I have an 18 week old barred rock pullet that appears to be extremely lethargic today, puffed up, falling asleep standing up and has green tinged, oily looking diarrhea.

    Supplemental heat - chicks standing up on roost at night

    Hello! This is my first year with my chicks and I feel like I'm overdoing it, so I'm hoping I can get some insight/wisdom (my husband will sure appreciate it because I'm driving him crazy :idunno). I live in Oklahoma and we just got a nice little cold snap in our weather. I moved our 6 chicks...

    3.5 week old barred rock, pullet or roo?

    Just curious if anyone is wanting to take a stab at this. She's about 3.5 weeks old and a major cuddler, so we're hoping she's here to stay. :)She's got the start of a comb but no redness to it that I can see. We bought 10 chicks from MPC that were sexed female that I plan on splitting with my...

    5 day old chick - Swollen vent, possible slight prolapse after pasty butt

    I have a chick that has been having problems with reoccurring pasty butt. My mother in law was over yesterday to help with the chicks and I think may have scrubbed a little too hard when cleaning her. Now her little vent is swollen and every few hours it's dry and crusty. I have been cleaning...
