    Chicken has Bald Patch on her Bottom

    Alright. I've looked at some organic mite-killing sprays on Amazon (is that an okay route to go?), but I will do a thorough cleaning and spray the coop with something. Thank you so much for the help!

    Chicken has Bald Patch on her Bottom

    So I just did a quick sweep of the coop and there do appear to be a few tiny bugs in the wood cracks... I'll look around, but what should I do?

    Chicken has Bald Patch on her Bottom

    Hi! No, I haven't checked the coop for mites, I'll do that! There are 4 chickens in total, and their coop is probably 6x4?

    Chicken has Bald Patch on her Bottom

    Hello, This morning, I noticed that one of my hens has a bald patch on her bum (pictures below). I did a bit of research and there seems to be a variety of things that could be going on, so I'm not sure what's wrong with her. I picked her up and looked at the patch, and her skin seems to be...

    Chickens Ate an Egg

    Hi! I’m new to chicken keeping, so I don’t really know how to deal with this: our chickens started laying about 2 weeks ago, but this morning, I saw them feverishly slurping down an egg that had probably been layed on the ground (yesterday I found a ground egg too... is that bad?). This is the...

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    I looked, but it seems to have soaked in to the hay or something. I didn't see bits of shell or anything.

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    We've only had one egg layed so far (that we saw), and we ate it, and we'll be eating future eggs.

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    They're all the same age, but we did just switch them to layer feed.

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    Oh, sorry about that! I guess it's possible, but I doubt it. I think I'd see more carnage. Is it common for them to eat their eggs early on?

    Strange Discharge Appears after Hens Start Laying

    Hi! One of my hens started laying yesterday, and my other three are really close to laying, but this morning, as I checked for more eggs (there haven't been any so far this morning), I saw a small puddle of yellowish liquid; it looked a bit like pee (picture at the bottom). Does this have to do...

    Chicken Toenail Trimming Incident

    Hi! I was just trimming my 4-month-old chicken’s toenails when I cut a little too high and the nail started bleeding. I held it in some cornstarch for 30 seconds or so, and the bleeding slowed. She seemed to be fine, walking normally and not acting like she was in pain, but I’m still worried a...

    Dog attack! Split skin behind head/neck/back

    No problem :)

    Dog attack! Split skin behind head/neck/back

    I’m not too knowledgeable in that field, but, given the circumstances, I would really just try to let the wound heal on its own, but stay vigilant and deal with small problems before they get bigger. Keep it clean. If any bigger problems arise, perhaps reach out to someone you know who also has...

    Chicken Limping... Any Advice?

    What a relief! I’ll definitely do that. Thank you again!

    Chicken Limping... Any Advice?

    Thanks so much, this is incredibly helpful! She sits pretty casually and loosely, but that might be from the heat. That’s another thing— it’s been super hot the last few days, around 90 degrees f, would that have caused anything? I’ve been trying but keep them cool with the regular things like...
