    Using CFL lightbulb for a break from cold?

    I live in Denver, CO and it has been REALLY cold this winter! It is -5F this morning and one of my girls isn't looking so hot. I do not heat the coop and they have been fine even when it got down to -20F, but when I see them looking all cold and miserable my heart just melts! I read an...

    Impacted Crop

    I had a hen with a very impacted crop. The thing that ended up helping her in the end was just giving her a little bit of grit mixed with some water, yogurt, and olive oil then continuing to massage. Keep her warm too- if you can put a warm wash cloth (not wet) on her crop that may help as well.

    Molting hen won't go into coop at night

    I have a 2 year old leghorn hen who began molting and refuses to go inside the coop at night. She instead sits on top of the chicken run (my girls generally free-range) until I get home (after dark) and am able to put her inside. I know it's a matter of time before a predator gets her and since...

    Brahma Thread

    My light brahma Ophelia is having some feather issues. I think she's going through a molt (this is my first bird to molt! eek!) but her feet feathers have been gone for a couple months. I can't see any sigs of mites, bumblefoot or anything else but I do notice her picking at her feet. All the...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    No, no snakes. I think I discovered what happened- I have one with a respiratory infection all of a sudden. I think my GLW wasn't maybe showing the normal signs that I could catch (the wheezing/sneezing/gaping) and that her lungs filled with fluid. Hopefully I caught the infection soon enough...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    Hello! I had a 1 year old GLW , Grape, who I sadly found dead in my yard yesterday . Does anyone know any breed specific information that could have played a role in her death? There was no sign of sickness, stuck eggs, nor attack. It looked as if she literally just fell over dead. The only...

    Introducing a new hen?

    I was given last night a new hen named Lucky. She is WAY bigger than the rest of my flock and they aren't getting along so hot. Even my super loving ameracauna went after her! In the past I have kept the newest member in some sort of enclosure so that the other girls can see and interact with...

    Young americana with pale comb, diarrhea and lethargy!

    Help! My favorite hen Bo Peep is sick. She is just over 1 year old and has always been the energy of the flock. Today she is just laying there trying to sleep, her butt is all gunky, her poop is clear with some green and white, her comb and around her eyes is very pale, her tail is down and...

    Blind chicken

    HI there, I too have a blind chicken due to a fox attack. I adopted her because she was starving and very dehydrated. Chickens sseem to make such miraculous recoveries as her sight in one eye has finally come back. She gradually adjusted to her environment and does well. Since yours seems...

    Crop problem! Please help!

    I have a leghorn who is probably about 3. She is mostly blind and for the past few days was acting funny- isolating herself, not ranging, making no noise, not eating/drinking. She also seems to be blinder than usual. I noticed her crop was extra large and had been for a couple days. When I...

    Worm on hens skin?!

    Hello! I have a hen that has some sort of tan object poking out of her lower back. It looks like a little worm, but I'm honestly a little scared to go poking at it before researching. Anyone have an idea of what this may be?!?! Thanks!
