    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    Hey there. I came home today to find one of my little hens with this big bubble on her back. I brought her in and tried to do some research but I was panicked and so ended up doing something stupid. I tried to puncture the bubble to relieve the pressure. I used a sterile syringe and poked a few...

    Mama hen with single duckling - is she showing it food/water?

    Hey there! Been a long time since I have been here but I am needing help. I have a little Cochin Banty that has been sitting on duck eggs for a while. One of them hatched early, about 26 days I believe. The others have not hatched yet and today today is the 28th day. I have been leaving them...

    Did I make my chickens sick?

    I have three sneezing chickens, one of which had a runny nose (cleared up today). And I have one that is pretty sick, still active but with a swollen, bubbly eye. All except one are inside tonight. I'm sure whatever it is, my whole flock has been exposed. Recently, I took in two new chickens. I...

    inconsiderate people rant

    WTHeck is wrong with people? Yesterday my hubby and I took a long drive to visit some friends who for as long as I can remember have never come to visit us. Whatever. We get there, walk in, and the house smells like a wet dog, with a thick layer of dog hair on EVERYTHING. Before you go calling...

    Bantam Cochin folks: when do they reach their full size?

    I have three bantam cochins and they seem bigger than I thought a bantam would get but still very small of course. They are about 23/24 weeks. When do they stop growing? I can't imagine them getting any bigger...

    I LOVE my new OEGBs!!!

    I got them a couple weeks ago. Omg they are so cute. They are tough little buggers, too. And they NEVER go into the dang coop to roost. I always have to put them in myself...

    Is red in stool always cocci?

    Hello all I have two new chickens about 13 weeks old that are currently in quarantine. They are from a very reputable breeder who I trust immensely. When they arrived I confess I may have overloaded them with treats and one of them got diarrhea pretty bad. At least I assumed it was the treats...

    Quarantined chickens question

    Hello there! I have two young chickens that I got as replacements for two that I recently lost due to a dog attack (my dog). They are about 13 weeks old. The only place I had to quarantine them was a 100 gallon tank used for feeding/watering livestock with wire mesh over it. They are in the...

    Guess what this chicken is thinking...

    Would anyone like to take a guess at what this chicken is thinking? My guess: "E=mc2" (Can't make the little "squared" symbol from my phone!)

    Does this look like mites?

    I noticed my little RIR bantam had a little bit of what looks like dry skin or something on her face. Is this mites or lice? She is acting fine but I just want to be sure... Ps - Isn't that a scary picture? Lol.

    Hey there. I have 165 square feet of space for my chickens, plus their coop which is 11 square feet I think and elevated off the ground.

    Dumb question: did i get too much straw?

    I am very VERY new to the urban farm, or any farm thing and purchased my first bale of straw today to put as bedding in my run. Well, I got home and spread it all out after the chooks went to bed, so it was getting dark. I made a really thick layer of the stuff and barely scratched the surface...
