    The Nuzzler laid 2 shell less eggs and other egg material today.

    Lots of photos. All in edit: descending order of emergence except for the brown dish photo. The Nuzzler is near 6 months old and recently started laying eggs that have been hard shelled, some hard to candle even. Her first confirmed egg was on October 4th but I think she really laid jer first...

    Hardened poop feathers under vent.

    I don't know if this is in the right place because it isn't an emergency or an illness. Is there something safe I can apply and rinse off without soaking her whole bottom in water? This stuff is so solid and right against her delicate skin. I don't know if dawn is ok to dab there without...

    Albendazole sold in smaller amounts.

    Upon finding wiggling worms in a cecal poop from Dove, I need to get some dewormer for my 5 chickens. The price for a full bottle of albendazole is steep but I prefer to start with it because one dose seems much easier than a 5 day course and also the possible feather issues with...

    Cyst or mass on the outside of knee.

    Dove, the whisperer of golfballs, the "Don't touch me." bird, who is also soon to lay her first egg has been found to have this on her leg on the outside of her right knee. It is about the size of a large blueberry and was not as round or visible yesterday but was felt when my daughter checked...

    Is Big Red almost ready to lay her first egg?

    Sold as a "Production Red". She has been really ramping it up and wandering around between the coop and the nest box under the ramp so I added a bit of a curtain. Day 3 of this and no egg. She doesn't appear sick but a bit anxious. I checked her vent area because I saw a few very small streaks...

    Bloody feather under Dovie's humerus, elbow joint?

    Is there something I can prepare with household items to clean it tonight before adding triple antibiotic ointment? I really don't want it to get infected and she dislikes being handled as it is. The handling to inspect this feather has already got her a little stressed even though the area...

    Scaley is skinny, pale, and her eyes are different colors.

    My favorite chicken who actually approaches and melts when held and petted but something might be wrong. This is Scaley who is at least 16 weeks old, maybe 18 weeks. I got her May 21st as an "Americana" pullet and she looked to be about 4 to 6 weeks at the time. She seems to have excellent...

    What mix is my rooster?

    This is Cleatus. I bought him at a feed store for $9.95 labeled as a "Rooster". What do y'all think he is mixed with? How do I care for his feet? I thought the feathers were so cute before but now I feel that they require more care than if they were normal feet. He holds one up sometimes and...
