For my 3rd picture, I wanted to show my rooster Pipsqueak (although not much of a pipsqueak now lol). He isn’t a barred rock that’s for sure, but his father was (we had to get rid of him because he was too mean :( ) Pipsqueak must have been paying attention though and learned from his father’s...
I present to you Gertrude (left) and Nosy (right). Why Nosy you may ask? Why because this dear loooves to see what us humans are doing. She isn’t afraid to say hi when you come home (she’s jumped into the car!) and she even looks through our screen door to see what’s going on. Gertrude is a...
Well, the headline pretty much says it: These past months, one of my hens decided to be broody. One of four eggs ended up hatching (we didn't candle them) and she began raising her! But just this past week, I have now found 2 eggs left in the place her and the chick were staying. I was told that...
So right now I have a mama named Dorthy ann who is raising one baby chick. The chick is about 3 weeks old. When should I reintroduce mama and interduce the chick? and also, today I found an egg in the place that they are staying. Should this be a concern? It would be great if you could answer...
I looked into the tylosin powder thank you for helping. Will this tylosin powder have any side effects at all? like how long should I give it to her or just until visible signs of her feeling better?
Maybe a month ago I had problems with my chicken named Popsicle. She's an EE. she was having trouble breathing and couldn't seem to make regular chicken noises except what some people called sneezing and coughing, whatever it was, it wasn't good. Now she's back at it. I found her sitting by...
This afternoon I have my first baby chick. Yes, just one. We started with five eggs but 3 broke and two got lost and thrown out. She already has some fluff on her but I'd say she was probably born this morning. Out of the two broody hens I have, the black austrolorp is the one who had the chick...
i think i found the crop. either i did and found nothing in it or i didn't find the crop and im still not sure how to find it then. I watched a video on how to find the crop and did the same instructions but nothing turned up
I double checked her beak for canker, plaques, and lesions but found nothing. I did notice that she only breathes out of her mouth and doesn't or can't breathe out of her nose though. However, there aren't any snot or watery eyes. And mabye your right she is sneezing but she will not squawk like...

sounds awful! but how do you feel for the crop? what are you looking for? I've never had to do this before so not sure what's going on. I have looked inside her beak and didn't find anything unsual although I'll look again after this. I will look at her eyes and nostrils although I haven't...
Just as I was waiting for response so went and took a video. I also found a website that helped explain a lot of possible chicken issues. I did look into her mouth but I didn’t find anything abnormal. She doesn’t run very far and her breathing is very labored the video attached is me going to go...
Recently I've been noticing that one of my chickens named Popsicle has been making a weird squawk. She can't even or doesn't make the regular hen noises that anyone with hens would hear. Today I decided to separate her from the flock and take a closer look. After putting where I put my...
