It's already cold where we are, about 6-10 degrees C. In coops warmer. Not sure what's going on. Her age is uncertain, she came to me from a...

    Dead egg?

    No, my light isn't that great. Even on my phone. I haveaways check like this and have always had 100% success with all eggs. First eggs 2 last year, and 3 eggs 2 months ago. All my eggs are my my hens and my rooster. Roosters have changed each year.

    Chicken looking bald

    I have had chickens for over 4 years now. I haven't seen it look this bad. Or even close to this. They eat chicken feed that has all their vitamins for laying hens and lots of fruits, veggies, and grass.

    Chicken looking bald

    Hi everyone, I have a chicken that is looking very bald. Not sure why. All my other hens are fine. Minus a few spots... due to rooster I assume. This bald chicken is not being picked on. They all get all great. Any thoughts?

    Broody to moody mama

    They were in a large cage for a dog inside the coop for around 2 weeks. During the day I would let them out and lock out the other chickens in their outside run. They the last 2 weeks the chciks have been with mom in the outside part of the coop which is also covered and shielded. So the other...

    Broody to moody mama

    Thank you for such a detailed response. The chicks and their mama hen are currently in a seperate enclosure from the rest of the flock. We have a large rooster, so I'm not very sure he'll be nice to them. I read that I can only let the chicks out to the rest with rooster after 12 weeks. The...

    Is this normal?

    Any idea what this may be? If she is internally laying wouldn't she feel bad? Like tail down and sitting upright? If it's water belly, why isn't there fluid coming out when I tried draining her? She looks ok... Like I said before she gave an egg yesterday. Ant ideas?

    Is this normal?

    Well, she is inside and eating, drinking. Her lump is still there.. and I'm not sure how I can "drain" it... or if I should do anything with it. She laid an egg because maybe she warmed up? It's-14degrees C here, in the coop it's about +5C and inside its 23C. Any recommendations on what I...

    Is this normal?

    I am keeping her in. Today she laid an egg... she hasn't in over a week. Does this info change anything? I don't live in the states. In in Belarus. Not a lot of vets here for chickens.. usually if any issues people just send the chicken to soup. :( I'm trying to help her live a nicer and...

    Is this normal?

    Update: So I tried to drain the fluid from ascites with a hypodermic needle, but nothing was coming out... it was like a vacuum in there. But the sack is very jelly like. There was 1 drop that was yellow in color. I did this 3 times, with no hope. Not sure if I was doing it wrong or what. There...

    Is this normal?

    Hi everyone. My chicken has plucked her bottom feathers out... I want to say within 48hrs for sure. I also noticed a big lump... (maybe where the egg is located?) But would it be so visible? She's acting normal, eating and drinking. I have one white egg this morning, like hers...but I also have...

    Sick chicken?

    Unfortunately my chicken isn't doing well. She's very light feeling. Meaning she's probably not absorbing nutrition:( she does seem to have an appetite. Her dropping are normal looking. Meaning there is dark and white and chciken poop looking. But I guess since she's so weak and ill, the other...
