Hello! My 5 yr old EE hen has a swollen itchy eyelid. Any ideas on how to treat it? The other eye is normal. She itches it often. Thanks!

My EE hen is about 4 yrs old, recently she began losing feathers on her neck, her skin is super red all over especially around her butt. I just washed her butt cus it was poopy and noticed her vent seemed to feel squishy and stuck out more than normal. She lays normally and poops normally and...

My polish hen is almost 7 this september, for a few years now shes been slowing down, sits often and isnt as eager for treats as my other younger hens. Recently though, shes been sitting much more, and when she would used to detest to me picking her up, she just allows it. She feels like she...

My 4 year old EE hen laid this "egg" after I massaged her tummy in a warm bath. I suspected a problem when she was standing oddly and acting quiet and abnormal. She wouldnt go to bed even if it was getting dark. After she seemed to poop this out she willingly went into the coop to go up to...

Hi, I notice pictures like these never get any responses or enough to say whats wrong with the chicken but my EE hen has missing neck feathers that NEVER grow back and now she developed missing spots on her bottom that seem itchy and bright red. No other hens (3more) have this problem and they...

Hi everyone. my 8 yr old doe nigerian dwarf goat snickers has an enlarged left udder. has been like this for about 3 years now and keeps growing larger. Vet said it was fine cus it was squishy and probably got activated from my neutered male goat twix headbutting it. im not so sure anymore as...

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is staying safe and distancing themselves from others! Well, my Buff Orpington Noodles turned 5 years old recently, and I knew that would come with health problems. A few months ago she started acting differently, her tail went down more than often, her comb was...

My 3 year old leghorn keeps laying shell-less eggs when shes ROOSTING. Yesterday she went up to roost to sleep, then I hear a splash and she laid a shell-less egg right there. I find them a lot and it must be her. She gets calcium, and eats like crazy, so what's wrong? and not every egg she lays...

My 1 yr old easter egger hen just started making those deep cluck broody noises and has been for a few days. I recall her doing this before for a bit. She makes the noises but never sits on eggs or actually goes broody. She eats and drinks and acts normal orherwise. Anyone else have weird hens...

This is gonna be a weird post. So basically im a senior in high school, and for my cultural studies class we have a world fair sort of thing where we each have a country and have a booth where students can visit and walk through, a lot of people I think. And my group's country is Swaziland, a...

After having two hens die all of a sudden and only live to 5 years old I really want to make sure my other hens live to atleast 8! I have never given my chickens dewormer.. maybe a pellet dewormer but can you deworm chickens as a precaution? And are there any all around disease/parasite killer...

My hen Nellie is about 5 years old, yesterday she was fine out and about and this morning she was dead on the floor of the barn. This is exactly how I found my hen Lacy (her sister) a year ago. But Lacy looked ratty and didnt want to eat before she passed, Nellie was in perfect health. Can...

Hey yall! Update on my EE chicks! 5-6 weeks now and they are growing fast. First picture is my pullet the dark brown one, and third pic is my suspected cockerel (the light one). They obviously have a major comb difference... but I'm wondering where his muffs and beard even are? I know easter...

Well I definitely have a cockerel on my hands, and I live in the suburbs. Has anyone hid a rooster before? And how did you do it?

Hey guys I have 2 six week old EE's here and I suspect the lighter one to be a cockerel. When do the hackle and tail feathers come in and what would they look like as baby feathers? Pics appreciated!

Posted this before but got lost, and got a better picture of her/his face.

Hey guys! These Ameraucana (probably EE's) chicks are about 6 weeks old, I got them from Big R labeled as pullets but I'm having a hard time believing one of them is a girl. Butters (the light colored one) is larger than Lemmiwinks the dark colored chick, and his/her legs seem a little thicker...

I got my first fart egg or really tiny egg maybe 1/4 the size of a regular egg! It's so cute and I haven't found the reason for it being laid. It was either my 6 year old hen Nellie or my three 4 year old hens. All the threads I read said it's usually from a newly laying chicken but it wasn't...

My white leghorn hen keeps laying shell-less eggs. I give my chickens plenty of outdoor space and give them back their eggs and egg shells so no lack of calcium or protein here. Her breed is naturally skinny so I'm afraid with her laying shell less eggs at least 2-3 times a month, her nutrition...

About 6 months ago I rescued 2 jumbo Cornish rock cross' from a boy who didn't know how to care for chickens. I knew very well how this breed grows at a rapid rate, but I just wanted to give these two chicks a nice life, one without abuse, and one much longer than the harvesting age of 48 days...
