    Is there anyway to confirm if this is waterbelly?

    Okay, that's a huge relief. Thank you 🩷 You see all these videos online where they show the ballooned out bottom where you can see the skin like that and it's kind of scary. The extra fat pad makes the most since to me since she might be the heaviest bird I've had to pick up lol

    Is there anyway to confirm if this is waterbelly?

    It was hard to get picture of Carolanne since she doesn’t like me much but I saw her in the run today and realized that her back end sags a lot more than the other birds in her flock. I've heard of waterbelly and didn't think I'd have to worry about it for a while but we have no idea how old...

    Persistent Gleet?

    She was dewormed when we got her along with the rest of her flock. I want to say it was back in fall of 2025 but none of the other chickens have shown any signs of parasites. She doesn't seem unhappy or low energy either, it really just looks like the worst case of pasty butt

    Persistent Gleet?

    That's good to hear, we've been giving it to her when we can but her butt looks really bad still. I think we're going to have to soak her again but I was thinking and I wonder if this is some kind of re-infection type of issue. I wasn't able to clean her up a bunch with my concussion and her...

    Replying to my own post so people can more easily see the original pictures I posted. So we went to scrap this stuff to burn it and I kid you not, it started turning into a black powder. We have no idea what it could be, best guess is some kind of fungus. We can't just blow torch the side of the...

    Need a larger chicken door?

    The current door is 9.6 by 8.2 and it's mostly height. Also thank you for answering all those other questions.

    Need a larger chicken door?

    So last night we discovered a new problem with our coop design (they are numerous) our rooster, Chadington, is too big for the automatic door we have. He can get in at night but last night decided to try to stay out for the night and while encouraging everyone to go inside, we watched how he's...

    We have these! They're a bit interesting to put together and you should look into layering the soil for long term use. I foget the term but my brother layered old firewood at the bottom of our big one so as it broke down it would help the soil. They're really good raised beds and the ones we...

    Anyone have any thoughts on these weird eggs I found on the side of one of my garden beds? I'm tempted to say crush them and clean it off but my brother thinks we should hold off in case they're something beneficial.

    My chickens back is bald but the flock won't let me put an apron on her

    The ones I have are definitely cheaper quality but the design is almost identical in function which makes me feel a lot better. I'll look them over for loose threads and anything wrong with them but will most likely saddle them up in the next day or two.

    My chickens back is bald but the flock won't let me put an apron on her

    Hello again, took me a minute to get pictures of the aprons so I could ask proper. Are these going to fit them alright and not going to come off? The bands go around the wings and are elastic. Best I can tell the size is correct, I'm more worried about the quality and them not being up to the...

    Persistent Gleet?

    Okay, I checked her crop this morning and it was just as empty as the others. So she is processing food okay. Everyone got a good bit of yogurt, my cousin bought plain greek yogurt so I hope that's the right kind. Once they got a bit everyone was happy to grab another lol I checked on her before...

    Persistent Gleet?

    Persistent Gleet?

    I'm a bit dizzy but otherwise doing alright enough. So I counted back the days on Carolyn and it's been 9 days since we started treating her again. We went passed the 7 and tomorrow is the last of the 3 extra days. I'm not really sure what to do with her since she's still discharging and smells...

    My chickens back is bald but the flock won't let me put an apron on her

    I kind of figured it might be something like that. Feels like a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway, does this mean putting one on the rooster? I'll be honest, Chadington is quite large and scares me a little lol They're a mix of patterns but are majority white, with black and red...

    My chickens back is bald but the flock won't let me put an apron on her

    I don't know if this is the right section of the forum but a few of my girls are getting a bit more attention from our rooster, Chadington, and one of them, Jolene, is basically bald on her back. I can see where she's gotten scratched a bit already so I figured I'd put on of those chicken apron...

    Persistent Gleet?

    Okay, th Okay, then I'm just going to watch her and hope her butt stays dry. It's pretty cold her right now. And yeah, so far they say I'm okay. Apparently, I have a concussion but should be alright without any medical intervention. I should have been watching where I was going but that door...

    I don't know if this is the thread for posting updates on our gardens but I wanted to tell you guys how it's been going. It's been a lot of raking and pulling weeds but I got the firsr two of the raise beds cleared out. Found about 3 cutworms while I was weeding and can confirm, chickens love...

    Persistent Gleet?

    So I checked the coop today and I don't think she laid today but the sun has been hiding again so it might be normal? As of today her back feathers are dry again and she doesn't look like she's having the watery drips. I wasnt able to get a picture of her droppings (I'm not sure how helpful it...
