Hello, my chicken has a pale comb, is extremely lethargic, has a rock hard and seemingly full crop, and is skinnier than normal I believe. My flock is currently molting, but I believe she has an impacted crop. I checked for and did not find any external parasites. I'm planning on keeping her...

a hen of my has been acting lethargic and having her tail feathers down, so I checked her abdomen and it was absolutely massive and relatively hard. I checked for an egg stuck (lubed glove up vent 2 inches) and there was nothing. She is breathing with her whole body and was eating and drinking...

We hatched some eggs recently and have two males that need to be rehomed. They are both olive eggers. One is a barred olive egger who started to attempt to crow this morning (6 weeks old) and the other is a 2 week old sex-link olive egger. The sex-linked is the chick on the right standing on...

Hey all, I've read plenty of articles about when to assist and all of that, but I'm worried she is stuck, because she only unzipped about a quarter of the shell, has been trying to push out for 12 hours, and has most of her head outside of the shell.

Hey everyone, my buff Orpington has been sitting in the nesting boxes all day. I have a flock of 20 hens, not roosters, and I took the eggs out from under her this afternoon. Yesterday there were no eggs under her when she did this. At night, I have to take her out of the nesting box to put her...

Hello everyone, I just recently took my Rhode Island Red to the vet due to a prolapsed vent. I had tried to fix it before hand but it kept coming out. They checked for an egg (not with x-rays or anything) and reported none. She ended up getting stitched up to keep her vent inside, and she has...

I’m chicken lover who convinced his mom to get 20 chickens! We have had them before, but there’s always more to learn, so I decided to join the website in case I had any concerns.

Quick story to give any knowledge you may need: I have had chickens before, but had to get rid of them when my parents divorced. We got 13 from one hatchery, and a week later got 7 more from another (because I wanted Cochins). We had a divider in the brooder for a few weeks until they were...
