She's fairly new and a bit skittish sorry I couldn't get closer. She is was vaccinated for pox and a few other things. I have experience with fowl pox and I am confident this is not that.
Some background she JUST started laying. she's about 9 mos. She is acting normal, drinking and eating. It...
Hello I spent all last night reading every thread about swollen eyes and most don't look the same as my 2 girls. The poor things are all scabby. I don't think it is a respiratory infection because there is no boogers or sneezing or weezing when they breath. The mites startedin September and have...
The place I got her from said they had checked mutliple times to make sure she was a girl, but the last time was at about the 2 month mark. I don't even know if it is for sure a leghorn, that is my guess. I was looking at hen leghorn pics and they have big floppy combs too not just the roosters...
Hi all,
I did find a post on this from last year and I looked at the book they suggested and it says sandpaper eggs are due usually to disease or lack of water. But My girls have plenty of water and she has always laid eggs like this &as far as I know she is healthy. It's only my EE that has it...
Hi my chicken Bouillion I believe had a prolapse but I don't have a photo, I've been reading up on it and I think that what it was. I noticed it yesterday and she was acting totally normal, there was just a small red/pink protrusion with some poo on the end, like she went to poop but more came...
Nugget an 8 months old Barred Rock. She squaks in the the morning and my yard is very small, the coop is right next to the neighbors bedroom. If I had a bigger yard I could keep her but she is a little too noisey for us. She still isn't laying. She's Bouillon's best friend but I don't want to...
I have 2 BRs they are almost 6 months old. Nuggets waddle and comb started getting really red and got larger a good two weeks or more before Bouillon. So we thought Nugget was older or at least she seemed to develop earlier. Now Bouillon has been laying eggs for about 2 or 3 weeks but Nugget...
I'm a newbie chicken owner. My girls are only 6 months old, I thought that was a little young to be laying but Bouillon has layed eggs since last weekend. Nugget hasn't layed any. I think it's really wierd because Nugget was always larger and her comb and waddle got larger and redder about a...
These are my girls, they are almost 4 months old. I was told they were hens but I'm really worried because I am almost postitive Nugget just turned into a rooster. It seems like overnight her/his comb and waddle turned red and got really big comparred to Bouillon. I'm so bumbed because I can't...
Hello fellow chicken lovers!
My fiance and I are total newbies to chickens, I got 2 dominiques as a much wanted gift for christmas. I'd like to formally introduce Nugget and Bouillon. They are wonderful, I thoroughly enjoy them, they are quite funny too. They have a brother Dewi, he's a ferret...
