Hi guys. Firstly id like to say i do have a tendency to get a bit neurotic. We recently got a puppy so I've been googling worms in dogs and chickens. A few pictures came up of worms in eggs. I just cracked some in my fry pan and noticed funny little white things. They are sort of solidish to...

Hi guys. By the end of the week i will need to rehome my chicks. Unfortunately most are male but I am hopeful that these three are pullets. I am giving to a friend so I don't want to hand over roosters by accident. My black and white chick looks like a roo with comb but comb is a lot paler and...

Hi all. Recently I got some chicks for my broody hens. They are about 10wks old now. Just before Xmas I noticed one of my young pullets looked funny on her legs. Kind of bandy. Her legs kinda would give way every so often but other than that she was fine. She seemed to improve then a couple of...

Hi guys. I'm after some Lice advice. My girls recently had a very obviously lice out break. I dusted them with pestine, cleaned out coop, added pestine to nesting boxes and repeated 10 days later. That was maybe a month ago. I check my girls vents pretty regularly now and I don't see any lice...

Hi guys. I was just lying in bed listening to one of my girls carry on doing her very noisy and strung out happy laid an egg song. It's quite early here and I worry about the neighbours whos home is quite close to my coop ( having lived next door to kids who played drums at 6am I am aware how...

I got this gentle girl early April when I assume she was at point of lay. She came home with an isa brown who layed the day she arrived and every day since. I am pretty sure my Australop does not lay. Is this possible? I search the yard regularly for a nest i may be missing but have not found...

Hi guys. This is the last of my hatched birds from the begining of the year. I had all roos bar my little silkie. I have just noticed her tail is looking a little rooster like. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone. I posted months ago re the health of my chook. She has been very pale for a long time now. Scruffy feathers, and a lot pulled out on the back of her neck. ( I AM pretty sure she is not moulting as has been like this for ages) She seems pretty fine behavioral wise but today ive...

Hi everyone. My chook has a very pale/ brown comb. She used to have a lovely red one after she finished molting... but it has gone pale again I have noticed she often had dirty vent feathers too. I have just put wormer in their water in case worms but i have had close look at lots of their...
