It was a very tough texture, not squishy like I’d expect a membrane to be.

It was very tough material - not squishy like I’d expect a membrane to be.

Absolutely disgusting! Can someone identify the type of worm so I can use the right treatment?

The marks aren't from fighting.

Ugh, this all is just making me sick. I've had a closed flock since these guys were a week old (shipped chicks). I don't know how they got sick. I spent so much time and money on these birds and no return on investment yet bc they haven't started laying. I didn't even notice their combs...

There are no other symptoms- no sneezing, coughing, lethargy etc.

Although the birds have no other symptoms. No sneezing, rasping, etc. Also, I haven't introduced any other birds to my flock. These birds have all been together since they were a few days old.

I have several chickens with eye issues. It's so frustrating! I've scoured the internet for info and keep finding conflicting information. (Eye worms, sinus infection, respiratory disease etc....) Has anyone specifically seen this and can help? The chickens act totally fine apart from this...

Lesson learned - it wasn't regular poultry bands. It was a loom band. I should have removed it but my black copper maran has feathered feet and I couldn't see it anymore so I forgot about it.

Leg is not black at all - so hopefully I caught it in time!

I didn't realize the band was getting too tight and then we went on vacation! It looks really bad. I cut the band but it has grown into the leg and really started bleeding when I pulled. The leg is super swollen and chicken can't hardly walk. What can I do?

Thanks! I wish I knew how to configure something like that!!

I have a large coop (long rectangular shape) that we have just separated into 4 sections, for 4 different breeds. I currently have an ADOR automatic door opener and love it. But, now I will have 3 other run doors I need to open/close. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. Is it...

Thanks! I'm a photographer, so it was fun taking pictures of chickies for a change. :) We got chickens for the first time a couple months ago. :)

Maybe this is a weird place to post this - sorry if it is offensive! We are starting our dog on a raw diet. If you have any birds that you don't want (too old to lay etc.) and don't want to slaughter them yourself - I'll take them from you! (Or any other animal meat you have that you don't...

I'm from Lancaster PA and wanted to post something to that group. Are there any forum threads according to location on BYC? Thanks!

I didn't realize there were so many different kinds/levels of food!?

My chickens are 13 weeks old. Until a few days ago i had been feeding them chick starter. But the feed store didn't have any last time i was there, so they said layer feed would be fine instead. However the past several days their poop has been diarrhea and the sand in the coop has been much...

darn! Thanks for all your help though!

At 6-8 weeks the BR still had their baby feathers and were still tiny! They matured so much slower than the other ones.
