I was able to see her vent. No maggots or bugs of any kind but her vent looked.... bigger. I don’t know how to describe it. May need to take a pic of that too
She’s maybe 3yrs old? Hard to keep track to be honest. I have so many and at this very time, there’s no way I can afford a vet visit. I don’t know what to do but I definitely don’t want her to suffer
I’m thinking it’s the heat since all this started when it got SUPER hot outside. I know they have no mites or lice. We always check them and clean out there coop every weekend (scraping poop out, new bedding in the boxes) and we always dust everything and every chicken with DE
I haven’t been able to give her a full once over. When you pick her up she just pulls all her body together and makes it impossible to check her out. But she stinks? Like any parent that’s ever had a child with a stomach virus will know the smell I’m talking about. Smells like rotting trash and...

We don’t know what to do with him. We have huge hearts and cannot just kill him. But at the same time I feel like I’m doing him wrong being where he’s at
I had two roosters in the beginning. Falcon and his brother nugget who never fought and did share the hens. They each had their own hens. About maybe 10-11 each. Our coop and run is big enough for at least 50 chickens all together with them still having ample space. The hens we have now were...
we just introduced a new rooster into our flock. We only have 4 hens and pullets that are not of age. We knew the new rooster (foghorn leghorn) and our rooster (falcon) were gonna fight it out. (We were watching to make sure they weren’t in any danger) well foghorn won and falcon definitely is...
