    What is this? Cannot find any info. Strange feather or weird extra appendage?

    This thing is hard, stiff, and by feeling the base of it, runs up into her foot. The yellow sheath material seems to be in sections/layers. She will be 2 years old in March, Marans breed, so feathered legs. It doesn't seem to affect or impeded her at all, and she is molting now, with normal...

    Please help! 2 healthy pullets passed away out of nowhere

    I've had birds just drop dead with no prior symptoms. Sudden death syndrome. It's sadly part of raising chickens.

    Swelled up scab on waddle - need advice!

    It looks like a 'bumblefoot' on her wattle. You could treat it as such. There is probably a pus nodule in there, which needs to be taken out. If you can put a damp, warm compress on it for 15 min., then work around the scab, finally removing it and the underlying infection. She may also have an...

    Privacy GONE :( - Looking For Trees To Hide The View

    Yes, so true. It will take over if not contained.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We had quite the windstorm 2 nights ago, and it blew the covers off my dahlia beds, then it supposed to rain for the unforeseeable future. Have to go and recover them. Put up Christmas lights during the rain break yesterday. Had a power outage which lasted all night, so the house got cold. Lots...

    You have a tree? Those are so delicious. DH brought home his aunt's homemade fudge with black walnuts.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Have been dumping coop cleanings out onto the raised beds and big garden.. Mostly everything is done, except the giant kale and collards greens so we still have greens for us and the chickens. Finally pulled out all the support cages. Next free day, maybe finish pulling out the expired plants.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Sorry for not replying sooner. It only took one week for her to be healed, and I put her back in the run. She immediately flew over to the flock, which were grouped eating treats. She is doing well, and these white lehgorns like to dirt bathe, so are no longer white. New white feathers are...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    The boys are behaving in a civil manner so far, and have been doing their guard duties well. Just noticing tidbitting, and of course a little rough learning which hens to try and mount. They're not having it. Treatment has gone well and yesterday the prolapse did not pop back out like it had...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Whew! Thank you for the reassurance. No egg, and she is coming out of her molt, so I don't think she's laying according to how her little vent looks and her narrow pelvic distance. I am letting her have wild bird food(Yay, treats!) and not layer feed. It's not that cold here, for chickens...

    Hen died from sudden prolapse—what caused this?

    So sorry for your losses. Unfortunately, what you described tells me that she indeed had a prolapse, but with her insides laying beside her probably means that the other chickens saw it at the beginning, and proceeded to peck at her vent and pulled out her intestines. It is so sad to find any...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    The end of her comb is a bit bluish. Is this a sign of something else? To my surprise, she did not become anxious or jumpy, was just still and relaxed in her soak and blowdry without my holding her at all. How can I tell if she is trying to pass an egg? her belly didn't seem distended, and her...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Well, today found one of the hens have a prolapse and vent gleet. I saw it as she went to roost, so she was easy to catch. I had put her in a cage, went to do something and she had gotten out.! She got to roam the yard for awhile, and it was dusk, so I approached her, and she actually didn't...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Sounds like you have a great walk-in coop. We didn't think about that when DH built ours, so it is hard to reach the birds when they are roosting. Luckily, they don't all roost in there.
