    My 8 month old hen stopped laying and her feathers are odd.

    This girl started laying at about 6 months old. She went on to lay eggs for about 6 weeks then has stopped. I’ve watched her and dewormed her and just been waiting it out. Now I see that she has lots of new feathers coming in and several coming out easily. Could she be molting or what am I...

    Tapeworms. Help!

    this photo is from the day I found them. But today I’m on day 5 of treatment and I’m still seeing some tapeworms. Maybe less? Not sure but still there. I used the chicken SafeGuard. What do I do now? Different medication?

    Hen with bright green poop

    I have a hen who isn’t herself this morning. She is moving slowly and just kinda pecking at her food and not eating it really. She is blinking a lot and I noticed some green poop under her vent. Their water grows moss within a day or two of cleaning. She also seems to be flicking her head. Like...

    Bantam Cochin hen or roo?

    I asked about this little one a couple months ago and everyone thought girl. Her tail is growing and has me a bit worried. Maybe it’s just her fluff ball growing in? Hatched early Feb. Thank you!😊

    8 week old bantam Cochin gender??

    I have two of these little ones. One is very obvious Roo and I’ll include a picture of him to compare. This other one I think is a pullet but I don’t remember them getting color by their comb and wattles at this age. What do you think? Thank you!

    Pecking off feathers and eating them?

    It started with my rooster rubbing off the feathers on their backs and wings. So I got rid of the roo because my girls looked rough. Now the backs of their heads have bald spots and 3 have lots of missing tail feathers. I’m so upset they look so bad. I’m out there all the time and never see...

    I need inspiration! Show me your chicken fencing!

    I have two coops and two separate runs. Chicken math has got me and I’m at capacity so I want to branch out and give them supervised outside time while we are playing outside in the afternoons. But I want it fenced. Can you show me what you’ve used to fence off around your entire chicken area!?

    Speckled Sussex and Welbar. Hen or Roo?!

    I have two 5 week old! First 3 pictures are the Welbar and last 3 are the speckled Sussex. I’m not familiar with either breed and am stumped. Sussex legs seem thick and he/she comes at your hand to peck it. But I’m hopeful!? Both were sold as pullets.

    I can hear my chickens heartbeat from a couple feet away

    I went to let the girls out this morning and I noticed one was missing so I went in the coop and saw one of my red star girls crouched down and kinda waddling. I first thought “oh no she’s egg bound”. It was quiet in there since everyone else went out and she was on the floor of the coop. I...

    Which is speckled Sussex chick and which is Welbar chick?

    I am new to both breeds so I really cannot tell. Does anybody know the breeds well enough to tell? They were both labeled female and from what I can tell Wellbar can be told by their patterns so that’s why I’m wanting to know. One of these comes at my hand and pecks it every time I put it in...

    5 day old chick with a wound

    I have a chick who has a mysterious wound and is not using that leg well. Still eating and drinking but getting pushed around a lot. I have absolutely no idea what could have happened to this little guy. There was never any blood and just suddenly wasn’t walking well and keeping leg out to the...

    Chicken laying egg with no shell

    I have a mixed flock of Easter eggers, Red stars, and one red Cochin bantam (who I’ve never seen lay an egg). They all hatched in May and started laying end or November to early December. Three times now I’ve had a mess in the nesting box. Today it was obvious an egg was laird with no shell...

    Hens comb gone light?

    A couple of my Red Star hens have recently had their combs get a lot more pale colored. Everyone is healthy. What causes this? Pic uploaded. The hen in question there is the red girl on the right.

    Would you keep chicks that have a crackle sound?

    I have 7 week old chicks that when you hold them close to your ear you can hear crackles. Been hearing it on and off for weeks. Nobody has shown any signs of not feeling well. All eating, drinking, and active. My thing is the rest of my flock that is a year old and never been sick. We love them...

    7 week old chicks have very faint crackling sounds

    I have 5 bantam chicks that I am/was so excited to finally get. For 3-4 weeks now I’ve heard very faint popping/crackling sounds when I put my ear to their backs. You can hardly hear it without putting your ear up to them. No mouth breathing, all are eating, drinking, and active. Since ive heard...
