    Rats/Mice?

    I went to tuck my rooster in for bed and saw a rat or mouse scampering away when my flashlight hit it. It escaped though a hole in the coop door, the door couldn’t close properly because it absorbed the rainwater. I didn’t see whether or not it ate/drank from my rooster food. His food was filled...

    Poopy hen

    I’m thinking about letting my hen hatch more eggs next year, but the last time she did, she pooped herself and the chicks ended up smelling like poop too. She wouldn’t leave them for even a second, and the babies were chirping so loudly when I tried to clean her up. This time, I’m considering...

    Scared Rooster

    Recently my rooster has been acting strange. I always check all of my chickens’ crops before bed to make sure they’ve eaten enough (I’ve done this since they were chicks and never had any issues), but now my rooster has started pecking at me. He’s also stopped sleeping on his roost and has...

    Buff Orpington?

    There is a what I believe could be a wild or abandoned chicken in my city but I don’t know what breed it is, these are screenshots taken from a video so they may be blurry. I would like to take her in but I’m afraid she might have pests that could transfer to my girls (I don’t really know how...

    What happened to her tail feathers?

    Recently my smallest chicken rattlesnake has been very vocal. I thought she might have wanted to lay an egg but even at night, when I fill up the food and water, she begins to sort of squawk. (I say squawk but it’s really just her “speaking”) I don’t know what it could be because all of my other...

    What is this?

    There is something at the base of my roosters comb that looks like a pimple. I touched it and applied a light amount of pressure but I’m not getting much of a reaction to know if he’s in pain or not. The hairs by the “pimple” thing are sticky but I’m unsure if that’s from the watermelon I gave...

    Possible health risks?

    I went to let my chickens out of their run and noticed that one of my hens had crazy feathers. I thought this could be from dust bathing but I noticed there were also broken feathers. Could she be lacking any vitamins or am I just overthinking ?

    What breed is this?

    Got these chickens from a friend, but we’re not sure what breed they are. Any thoughts? I’ve added photos of them as chicks, cockerels, and full grown adults

    Rooster 1st toe injury

    I’ve noticed that my rooster has an injury on his 1st toe, it looks like a poor trimming job but I’ve never cut his nails until now (which is when I saw it). Does anyone know what it could be or if it’s infected? “1” is his other normal foot “2” is his injured one

    Lump under beak

    I just recently notice that one of my mamma hens had a bump under her beak near her waddle. I don’t know what could have caused this (Im thinking maybe the chicken wire I use?) is it okay to be with her chicks or should I separate them, they frequently peck at her beak when she’s eating like normal.

    Baby Chick bone poking out

    I’m unsure of how my baby chick got hurt but the mamma was getting stressed and we believe she accidentally hurt her baby when she flew out her cage. Is there anything we can do to stop the bleeding? The baby has began picking at it tasing the blood. Her wing also looks limp.

    Receding skin

    My bully chicken has been harassing my flock for quite a while now. I decided to put chicken blinders on her, once I placed them on I checked up on her the first few days and didn’t see any problems so I continued to keep them on her. I have now realized that her skin seems to be receding on top...

    When should I give my chicks food?

    My hen hatched one egg yesterday and another one today. The 1-day-old chick seems interested in eating, but I’m unsure whether I should give it food now or wait until all the chicks have hatched?

    Disinfecting injuries

    I just took off my chickens “cast” and it’s all scabbed over. When you disinfect a chicken injury is it okay to use alcohol?

    Rooster Comb

    My rooster has his own enclosure because he’s too aggressive with the other girls. Today I took him out and noticed that he has a blister on his comb. I don’t know how this could have happened, does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Crazy Rooster

    I have a 8 1/2 month old rooster and he’s the sweetest to me. However whenever he’s near my mom he attacks her (I always hold him when he is near her). He usually doesn’t attack my sisters but whenever I am not there they are always saying how he bites them. Why could this be?

    Broody Chicken

    I have a broody chicken and was checking to make sure she was okay when I noticed she had saggy skin? It’s loose and feels a bit rough, she has been broody for about a week now. Is this something that I should be worried about? (The images are of her belly area)

    Black eye?

    I was going to put chicken blinders on my bully chicken and noticed she has a black eye? None of the girls usually pick at her but they occasionally do. Could she has gotten a black eye by one of her sisters? (Edit: I googled it and some are saying she could possibly have bird flu! Has this...
