    Are they starting to molt?

    I’m wondering if these are signs of my girls starting to molt or something else? They are about a year and a half so this is their first time molting as they didn’t last year so I’m curious what to expect! One girl in particular has been looking pretty rough. She was broody for a couple days...

    Broody hen help?!

    Hi! I have a few questions on broodiness, specific to my hen. We went away for a couple days so didn’t collect eggs for about 3 days.

    The amount of posts I’ve made recently with chicken issues is ridiculous 🤦🏼‍♀️ I noticed today one of my girls broke her beak. From the research I’ve read, it seems like it will grow back? It doesn’t look like anything is exposed as it’s hopefully just the tip and she ate grass and mealworms...

    Chicken laying cracked egg?!

    My second post in less than 24 hours with chicken worries- is this normal? 😂 Yesterday around 5pm I was letting my girls out to free range for a little. I noticed they all went crazy over something. One was running around with a half of an egg shell. There was egg whites as the girls were...

    Bumblefoot for the first time- help!

    I’m dealing with bumblefoot for the first time. I have a total of 6 chickens and 2 of them have it. 1 year and 1 month- both golden comets. I noticed a significant limp in one girl so checked her feet. I noticed the black scab associated with bumblefoot on the foot she was NOT limping on. I...
