    Frost bite or ?

    Hello. We have a 4-5 y/o hen who we noticed wasn’t doing well about 2 weeks ago. We brought her indoors and isolated her. When we found her she was weak and wobbly on the floor of the coop. Her feet looked swollen and her legs red. We wondered about scaly leg mights so soaked her feet and coated...

    No egg laying

    Hi - we have a blended flock, 3 pullets aged about 4 months old, and 7 hens in the 3 - 4 year range. Our days are darker and our temps cooler, and our older ladies have stopped laying now for a few weeks. The younger gals have laid sporadically but we’re not seeing the daily eggs we thought...

    New chick with wry neck?

    Hi - We have a new chick (2 days old) that arrived curled up and with what looks like wry neck. That’s a guess b/c we are new to this and I haven’t dealt with it before. We are working on hydration, warming and calories - and the chick is perking up but still very curvy in the neck and needs...

    Hard moult?

    Okay, that’s good news. She is 4 years old. We acquired her as part of a flock in March, and when we moved the flock (7 hens) to their new coop and run, their was some chicken bullying drama. We curtailed that behavior and they’ve settled in nicely, but she has just looked like a Dr Seuss...

    Hard moult?

    Hi... this lovely lady lost a bunch of neck feathers and feathers on her back near her tail this Spring. She has been bald and bedraggled looking all summer, but laying and otherwise seeming to be in good health. Now we see what looks like new growth coming in? But is taking forever. Is this...

    5 week old pullet died

    We have an older group (4 years) of hens who are kept in a separate area. We did not notice any unusual poops (we know to look for cocci). She was kept in a brooder with a heat lamp and let out in an closed off space during the day. Fed chick starter and water with probiotics. Felt her crop to...

    5 week old pullet died

    Hi — we had a little one die this morning. We’re not sure why. She always seemed a little smaller than chicks from the same hatch, but she was a hen with 2 roos so we didn’t think much about the size difference. Today she looked like she was having hiccups, or maybe choking, then just expired...

    Hens or Roos? We’re confused.

    Thanks for the help. They are Silver Laced Wyandottes. Now we’re wondering if they donturn outbto be roosters, if they can cohabitants or if one will have to go. They definitely seem more masculine than the smaller chick. Bulkier. Thicker legs. Etc..

    Hens or Roos? We’re confused.

    Hi - we have 3 SLW that we thought we sexed as hens (hatched from eggs, used pin feather sizing at day 1-2). But now that they are a few weeks old, two are clearly bigger than the third. We’re wondering now if we have 1 hen and 2 Roos? Pictures are the pin feathers, and then two next to each...

    Blueish comb

    Hi - we’ve noticed one of our 4 y/o laying hens’ comb is blueish (purple?) at the edges in the evenings. In the morning, it’s red and seems fine again. We’ve been watching this for a few days now. She otherwise seems fine. Is this an issue?

    Can you name these microscopic worms / parasites?

    Hi - we’re learning about our chickens and are wondering if someone can help us ID the organisms in these images? Fecal float with 40x magnification. We are new to this and learning and aren’t sure what we’re seeing. Thanks!
