    What are these weirdos doing

    They don’t roll around so they aren’t doing a dust bath… they just occasionally seem to become paralyzed in the sun and then puff up and pancake out. Sometimes they do it as a small group sometimes it’s solo… if they do it when I am not looking my heart sinks into my butt when I see them laying...

    Found Chicken (hen)

    This is a lot of great information and thank you for it. It would be very unlikely she came from a commercial farm. The local tractor supply regularly sells the ISA breed so I’m confident she was either dumped or wondered from a backyard. Regardless she is laying… have had an egg each day since...

    Found Chicken (hen)

    I have her set up in a pen by herself outside near the others and yesterday one of my established girls picked a fight through the pen. So she is for sure feisty. I don’t exactly have the ability to totally quarantine unfortunately I recently inherited a puppy who is slowly figuring out what...

    Found Chicken (hen)

    Hello Backyard Fam! I am currently hosting a chicken that was found wondering the neighborhood. I have communications out hopeful to be able to get this sweet girl back home. But, in preparation for the potential of having to integrate her… I need some advice. I’ve successfully integrated babies...

    Please help!

    Noticed yesterday one of my very active hens was withdrawn and quiet. Today she was still in the coop in the morning which is not her at all. Brought her in the house and have been watching her. She isn’t moving much but is very alert. She is breathing fine. But haven’t seen her eat or drink. I...

    Yellow around vent.

    They have been eating a lot of yellow squash this week. I did wipe and nothing yellow came off. She isn’t scratching or bothering it so I never even thought of an infection.

    Yellow around vent.

    She laid an egg yesterday… but I know she took a break while she was malting. We got double hit it got very cold quick and that was right as she started to malt. And the last two weeks weeks weather have been gloomy and dark mostly rainy coupled with the lack of sun this time of year anyway (we...

    Right! I’m trying not to worry myself but as I am searching I’m not seeing anything along these lines.

    Yellow around vent.

    Hello everyone. I have a hen who just went through a minor malt. Her behavior hasn’t changed… she is eating, drinking, and foraging as usual her comb and waddles are a normal red for her. She is just not as chatty as normal and is acting shy. I check all their vents every so often just to make...

    Hard boiled eggs

    I have a small flock of assorted brown egg layers. I have noticed over the last few months that the darker eggs peel perfectly and the light ones are a mess. Wondering if it’s just a crazy coincidence or there is some reason behind this madness. Adding a picture just cause she is cute!

    Down to a tail feather

    They are still on chick feed and that is 20% protein.. but I do have vitamins left from another chicks case of wry neck so I’ll throw that in some scrambled egg. I think I’m just being a nervous mother hen. My flock is all different breeds so they seem to be hitting certain milestones at...

    Down to a tail feather

    I guess my concern just sits in the fact that none of my other ladies seem to be having the issue. But the RIR breed seem to mature early. I will hard boil some eggs see if that works. I have some vitamins that I was giving when one of the girls ran head first into the wire mesh and gave herself...

    Down to a tail feather

    My Rhode Island Red is about 16 weeks old and while her tail was never very thick she is down to one sad feather, but no bald patches. . I thought at first it may have been one of the other girls but I spend a fair amount of time around them and there is not any excessive or aggressive amount of...
