Hi, today I watched one of our birds lay an abnormal egg, which we believe is a lash egg. We’ve done some looking around on the internet, but everything is very vague and there isn’t much information. Is it salpingitis? If so, is it treatable? What can we use to treat it, or does it require a...

Hello! So we're thinking about ordering some chicks this fall, so we're wondering what the best year-round hatchery would be? we're interested in ordering around 5-6 bantams.

Hello! So we have 4 roosters, and not enough hens. So as much as it kills me, we're going to have to get rid of 2. They're both good roosters, one is a black Silkie, and is about 24 weeks old, and the other is about a year and a half, and is a Silver Duckwing OEGB. (Both are bantams). Einstein...

Howdy- my eldest chicken Ethel, a buff Orpington, has been acting quite strange the past few days. She hasn’t been leaving the coop, she’s just been staying in there all day. Not on a nest, on her roost in the very back corner. She constantly clucks, and randomly screams for no reason. She’s...

Hello! I have a little rooster in need of a new home, as we already have a rooster and our flock isn’t big enough for another. He’s about a month old, we call him Nugget or Dancer, (most of our chickens have multiple names because we can never decide on one). We believe he’s a Crele OEGB, but...

Hello! So, I recently bought four bantam chicks from farm and home, and we believe one is a rooster. Sadly, we already have a rooster, and our flock is too small to keep two. We’re looking for a nice home for him because of this, and seeing as how lucky I was to re-home Jasper (our other...

Hello! Recently, I bought four bantam chicks from Farm and Home. I’m unsure of their genders and breeds, as well as their age. I believe they’re 2-3 weeks old, so I might be a little bit to soon to tell their gender. We are suspicious of one or two This is Nugget! And this is Bessie Bee...

My 3 year old buff Orpingtons toe has been cut off. We had noticed some blood around the coop yesterday, and today we saw her foot. It’s all scabbed over, and we should probably clean it but I don’t know how— since it’s already hardened. How can we help her?? We don’t know what to do...

We found out our hens eggs are fertile! We want to hatch them, but this is our first time incubating eggs. We have yet to get an incubator. Do you guys have any incubator preferences? Like ones that worked better? Also, do you have any tips of incubating?

Hello! I have a six month old hen here, and we are not sure what she is. At first we thought she was an EE, but we don’t know. Her feathers look like a dorking. From where we got her, she was labeled straight run. Do you guys have any ideas on her breeds? We’re pretty sure she’s a cross of some...

Hi! My 2.5 year old buff orpington, Ethel, has had some issues. She has a big personality, but lately she hasn't seemed herself. Her behavior currently is anxious, and scared. She normally struts right up to me, and the flock, but now shes acting terrified. She has a lot of feathers missing from...
