    Sick hen and death

    I’m not super well versed on chicken breeds but I believe so. They all came from tractor supply. I know the one we found dead on the roost last night was a leghorn. The one that was sick for a brief period looked like our Rhode Island reds except she was orange. It’s unfortunate but what you’re...

    Sick hen and death

    Hi there, Kind of a shot in the dark but hoping someone might have a guess as to what is going on because I’m at a loss. We lost one of our hens last week, she appeared sick for the week or two prior to her death. She wasn’t very active, wouldn’t roost, stopped laying, lost weight but was still...

    Limping hen

    I’m not the most experienced chicken owner but I can tell you after keeping our hen in a large crate within the coop for three weeks she was back to her normal energetic self and free of any limp/discomfort. The only thing we changed diet wise during her isolation was a water supplement to...

    Limping hen

    Our coop is pretty large, we switched her over to a larger dog crate so she has more room to move around. Thank you for the help!

    Limping hen

    I put her in a dog crate with food and water inside the coop; she has room to move around but should I let her out periodically?

    Limping hen

    My year old leg horn has developed a limp. She’s won’t put any weight on her right leg but continues to walk/run around the coop if necessary. She doesn’t appear lethargic. I checked her foot thinking maybe it was bumble foot but didn’t notice any areas of concern. I did notice a black almost...

    Moisture issue

    So this is our second winter with chickens. Last year we did have a couple frostbitten chickens in our flock (combs and wattles) but our rooster had the worst case. He developed severe frostbite this year. We know we have a moisture issue going on but have been struggling to identify the...

    Frostbitten rooster

    My roo has developed what appears to be severe frostbite on his comb. We have 12 in our flock but the roo has the worst case (almost all of them have some degree of frostbite). Any suggestions on how to treat it?

    Rooster problems

    So a little background; we started out with five chickens that came from a family member (who is also new to chickens) so we didn’t have concrete answers on their breed or sex. We received them at roughly eight weeks old and were immediately able to identify one as a rooster. While we were right...

    New chicken owner

    Hey everyone, My boyfriend and I are first time chicken owners; we’ve had our current chickens since June of last year. Our desire to keep chickens started when we bought our current home which came with a fully equipped coop, ready for use. Unfortunately, we aren’t certain of the breed of our...
