I noticed this scabby lump on my chickens belly almost in the area between her legs. Any ideas on what it could be? The skin between her legs is all red and flaky as well. Had a quick google but couldn’t find anything? Anyone got any ideas? she’s a year and a half old. Acting completely fine...

I’ve had a chicken with an impacted crop that’s gone sour. It’s been about 5 weeks since the whole thing started. It used to be a tennis ball size and how it’s about the size of a golf ball and it is hard but still pliable at the same time. She’s lost a heap of weight and is very particular...

Hi guys! My chicken Matilda has been having crop issues for about 8 days now. I noticed when she was pooping basically nothing but water and her crop was bulging. I thought it was an impacted crop so I isolated her and stopped feeding her and I added Apple cider vinegar to her water. 2 days ago...

Hey guys, So I took my chicken Disco to the vet yesterday. She is very lethargic, not eating, only drinking small amounts when I prompt her, diarrhoea, making gargling noises somewhere inside, vent moving as if trying to poo or lay an egg and just over all looking awful. At first I thought...

Okay so 2 hours ago she was fine. I came out to find her lying in the coop looking not so great. Eyes squinting shut, runny poo and when I tried to get her to walk she is lifting her legs really high and is off balance. She keeps going off to lie down. I am seriously considering taking her to a...

Hi guys, I have 3 hens that are all 1 year old. I noticed this bubble like sore on Discos wattle yesterday and I did some googling and thought it could be the beginning of foul pox? She seems to be running around happy as usual but I’m not sure what else it could be? I also found that a lot...

Hi guys! The other day when Matilda was laying an egg I noticed a couple drops of blood dripping from the nesting box before the egg came out. I was a bit worried but figured that maybe it was just a larger egg than usual and she had popped a vessel or something. I didn’t worry much about it...

My 3 girls have just started laying a few weeks ago and ever since then one has been getting picked on by the other 2. Matilda is the biggest bully always shooing Disco away from her food and pecking at her sometimes causing her comb to bleed. Gertrude sometimes picks on disco too yet Matilda...

Hi guys! I recently got my chickens and know that manure is good for the garden so I’ve been putting it straight from the coop, on to my vegetable patch and fruit trees (Passionfruit, citrus, rhubarb, corn, potatoes ect). I was then informed that you should compost it first or it can ‘burn’...

Hi guys! First time chicken owner here. I have had my (hopefully) girls for 6 weeks now and they are currently 12 weeks old. 2 of them have normal single combs but one has almost no comb at all? They are from the same batch. Not sure on their breed but they’re from a farm so I’d say they’re a...

Hi guys! I am a first time chicken owner and I've had my girls for 9 days now. I got them from a friend when they were 6 weeks old and they didn't know what breed they were. They could possibly be a cross breed because it looked like they had a few different ones around the farm. So if anyone...
