Hi guys! One of my polish hens, Georgette, must have fallen in the mud yesterday during the rain. Today when i went to see her she has a TON of mud cakes onto one side of her crest. I have tried to wash it with a washcloth but cannot get it off. She's extremely skittish and fidgety. Any tips for...
Hi everyone! This afternoon I noticed my silkie rooster limping a little bit. Tonight I went to go check on them and noticed that he was laying outside in the run. He never went in the hen house with the others. Now he’s just refusing to walk. If I hold him he can definitely grip onto me with no...

Hi all! Some friends of mine rescued some bantams. I apologize for the poor photos but we are trying to figure out the breeds. There are 3 of these girls that are identical, they all have black tips on their tails.
She won’t eat it off my finger or the syringe period. I’m not able to pry open the beak alone and I don’t have a second set of hands.

either way, is the green poop associated with sour crop or something else entirely?
I’ve been told to not use play sand under any circumstances as it’s bad for the chickens respiratory health. I honestly just don’t know the difference and want to make sure I don’t buy the wrong stuff
Hi everyone! I’m looking to switch over to sand in my coop and run. I’ve read that you can’t use plays sand which leaves me really confused… I didn’t realize there was different types of sand? If I were to go to Lowe’s can someone show me a picture (of the package) of exactly what type of sand I...

Thanks for the info! Either way I’m definitely keeping him/her. Extremely friendly and calm temperament. Let me pick it up with no issues it doesn’t cause any trouble with any of the other chickens… Kind of just does it’s own thing.
