Some updated pics of her eye and after removing the scab. We rinsed the small hole with saline and tried to see if there was pus but nothing came out. For reference her other eye looks completely normal and clear, large black pupil and brighter color around the pupil

Yes thats what I’m referring to. I will try that and see what happens. She definitely smells like she could have an infection and now she has blood dripping from the vent after she poops. Fingers crossed that this helps!

Thanks for your help. I’m sorry I wish I had better pictures and better answers but I have no one to help me hold her right now so that I could clean her up and do a better assessment. It might be her vent itself that is swollen. When I lift her tail it looks like the opening is at the bottom of...

This was taken after her soak

I have an 11 month old speckled sussex hen who has just been going through it the past couple months :( Back in February (around the 18th if I had to guess) she started showing signs of not feeling well. She was puffed up, lethargic, not eating or laying eggs, and panting. Isolated her and had...

I could really use some advice! We had a raccoon attack our flock 10 days ago and lost one hen and found two more injured. One of them had a small cut on the red outer part of her eye and that eye was swollen shut for a day or two after the attack but the eye itself looks fine. She was clearly...

Yay! That’s a first for me 😂

Posted these babies a month ago and wanted to get more opinions now that they’re older. There’s 6 total. I’m mostly confused about the black one, it’s a 10 week old barnyard mix (you can kinda see dad in the background but don't know who the mom is). The others are probably 11-13 weeks old, the...

This is what i needed to hear thank you!!

What is it that makes the sussex look like a cockerel in your opinion? I’m still learning and I know there are different ways to tell so I’m just curious. Thanks!

I’m not sure on the ages, they are all different, but I’ve had them for 5 weeks. I would guess they are 6-9 weeks.. I know the grey one is the oldest. All these pictures were taken on the same day. Starting today, sometimes the Easter Eggers combs are red and sometimes they aren’t which has me...

Good to know, thank you!

Not sure the exact breed. The dad was sold as an easter egger but looks like a barred rock and not positive who the mom is but i do have a cuckoo maran. I’m pretty sure my cuckoo lays brown eggs and this one hatched from a white egg so I don’t think she’s the mom. Thanks for your thoughts :)

Thanks that makes me feel a little better. Someone commented on this picture saying “He’s so cute” so I was like is it the chest making them think it’s a roo or what lol

Do rooster chicks have bigger chests than hens? I have one 4 week old chick that hatched from one of my hens and is being raised by her. I also have some older chicks that are sexed pullets (hopefully) from the store that are different breeds being raised away from the mom and single baby. The 4...

Are these roosters or hens? I got these two as chicks and was told all they had was Silver Laced Wyandotte sexed chicks females only. Apparently they were wrong about the breed and I heard someone crowing this morning so now I am questioning if they are even hens 😂 They are around 10 weeks old...
