    Parts of comb turning white

    Thank you. I’ll pick up some fungal cream tomorrow. I don’t remember seeing black prior to this and I’d be very shocked if someone was able to get a peck in on her. She’s the queen bee over here and she runs her flock with an iron fist. No one ever challenges Hazel. I don’t even think they look...

    Parts of comb turning white

    My black Australorp has something going on with we comb. A small area was white for the last week. Today I’m noticing a larger area is white. It doesn’t look dry or flaky, it just looks like the color was sucked out of it. Like a snow cone that was sucked of its coloring. It’s been cold at...

    Please help .. abnormal stool?

    I posted about this before and didn’t receive any responses. One of my hens, who only started laying in the last 3/4 weeks and has only given me about 5 eggs, has been having yellow stools. She’s acting normal otherwise. Should I be concerned by these?

    Coccidiosis or vent gleet?

    I have been finding loose, yellow stools on my poop board where the same hen roosts. She has evidence of it on her bottom so I know it’s her. I was questioning vent gleet, but I have other chickens with stools that are making me question coccidiosis. Here’s why I’m seeing ... I wasn’t...

    Worms?

    I’m sorry for the photo, but can anyone tell me if this is normal chicken poop? I just got two new EE’s last weekend and their poop looks different and smells horrid. Not sure if it’s just because they were in different food from my current flock, but hoping they didn’t come with worms?

    11 week old Light Brahma hen or roo?

    11 weeks old. Not friendly. Always trying to chest bump me. I actually have two of the same breed and age and this one is just more defensive/aggressive. I also noticed his/her legs are much thicker than the other and the face is getting red while the other pullet is very pale pink still...

    Hen stopped laying

    We added our 11 week old pullets to the flock a week ago, but they had already been living in a grow out pen located inside the coop for weeks prior. They were out there weeks before she even started laying. It has been hot here. Possibly the heat I guess?

    Hen stopped laying

    My 23 week old Australorp laid her first two eggs last Sunday and Monday. She has not produced an egg since. Is this normal? She’s acting 100 percent herself and showing zero signs of anything being remotely wrong with her.

    Super Loud Australorp - Experiences?

    My Australorp is the loudest chicken of my entire flock. She also has a loud yell that she does for most of each day. It sounds similar to what you have described. She is also the head of the flock and always in charge. She has never minded being held. She even enjoys rubs under the chin and on...

    Introducing new chickens to “older” chickens

    I currently have two different flocks. My first and oldest flock consists of SL Wyandotte’s and 1 Black Australorp, all 21 weeks old. My second group is a mix of (2 of each) Buff Orpington, Light Brahma, Cream Legbar and Olive Eggers just shy of 10 weeks old. The “babies” have been in a grow...

    5.5wk old chicks

    Its the first thing I do when I get up. I let the dogs out and head out to the coop to let the older flock out and hang their food and put out their water. I will be giving the younger flock their food and water at the same time. Thank you!!

    5.5wk old chicks

    I have 5wk old chicks(6wks on Monday) who moved into the coop today. They are in their own space to separate from my 17wk old flock. I had food and water inside with them all day, but removed both this evening. My intentions are to put the food and water back in the morning and continue to...

    Help! Chicken falling over!

    Did you ever figure out what was going on with your hen? I have a 12 week old Wyandotte who has been like this for 2/3 weeks now. She eats, drinks, keeps yo with her flock. I can’t find any visible injury. She falls backwards like she’s losing balance then sits down. At night, she acts like...

    All flock or later pellets or feather fixer??

    I currently have 9 and 12 week old chickens eating grower/finisher. I have new baby chicks coming next week. I know the babies eat starter feed, but when they eventually join the rest of the flock, how do I feed everyone when I will at that point have lying hens and still young non laying hens...

    Roosting issues

    They spend a lot of their day in the coop right now , but I have yet to see them up on the roosts on their own, day or night. They always huddle together in a corner or anywhere on the floor. Tonight, I went back out to check on them after I had previously put them on the roost. One of them was...

    Roosting issues

    We have 9 week old chickens who have been living in the coop for a week now. They can’t figure out the roosting bars. We have two roostings bars ( 2x4’s ) over a poop board. Every evening , I go to the run and corral them into the coop. I place them on the roosting bar, but first I place each...

    Please help! New chicken owner and possible sick/injured chicken

    Her feet look great. No cuts, bumps, spots, nothing suspicious. It’s impossible to get a photo of it because it happens quick. She will be walking normal and then look like she lost balance and her toes come up, her feet roll back so she looks like she’s on her heels and then she quickly lays...

    Please help! New chicken owner and possible sick/injured chicken

    I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte who is 7/8 weeks old. We moved everyone out to the coop this weekend and when they were in the run, we noticed one chick was walking funny. She will walk normal and then she rolls to the back of her feet and quickly lays down. She looks like she’s losing balance...

    Mice/rats

    We are new to having chickens. It took me quite a while to convince my husband to let me have them. He keeps reading things on the internet about mice/rat problems with owning chickens. Is it a guaranteed thing that we will have mice/rats if we own chickens? What are your beat tips for avoiding...
