    Thin and Lethargic Pullet

    Bump because I'm still worried about her. She is stable and eating and drinking but has been standing around with her tail down. Can it be coccidia with no diarrhea? Is this looking like Marek's?

    Thin and Lethargic Pullet

    I brought her inside. She is acting better (mad to be away from her flock) and eating like crazy. Her poop looks solid, but suspicious for parasites?

    Thin and Lethargic Pullet

    Thanks to everyone for your time and attention in trying to help our precious pets. 1) Easter egger pullet, 12 weeks, thin and bony, vaccination status unknown. 2) Mildly lethargic, hanging back and lying around a little more than the others. 3) I just noticed yesterday before bed. I gave her...

    Splay leg/knock knees at 4 weeks old

    Thank you very much. Does that mean I didn't cause this? That's reassuring. It doesn't look too bad, hopefully she will just have a long, limping life. I very much appreciate the input. Do y'all think pullet or is it still possible she is a he?

    Splay leg/knock knees at 4 weeks old

    I kept chickens years ago and took a long break but decided to get back into it this year. I'm still relearning all the things I forgot. I have a little flock of four and only recently noticed that one of them is walking with their knees together. They are getting along just fine but with an...

    Snake-bitten hen!

    I have heard of a "dry bite;" whereby a venomous snake bites but for whatever reason venom isn't released. However, that's unusual and cats are common. I agree it sounds like a bad infection, so you need to get her some good antibiotics either way. You might also look her over carefully for...

    Fluffed up pullet

    My flock just turned 21 weeks on Monday, and one of my BO's just gave me her first egg yesterday. The same pullet freaked me out a week or two ago by being all fluffy one afternoon. I was scared she was sick or injured and her vent looked red. After I started prodding her and examining, she made...

    First Egg Countdown

    Take heart! After finding the first egg this morning, there were TWO eggs in there! Camilla must have laid her first one yesterday, because there was another white one as well as a light brown one! Both tiny, a little smaller than the first. I'm guessing Lil'Buff laid the brown one, because...

    18 week Leghorns and still waiting

    My white leghorn turned 21 weeks yesterday and today I found her first egg! Hang in there, I know it's tough.

    6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and now 1 egg per day, from 8 birds

    I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but they've been counting down. Tomorrow your chickens will explode. That or the molting thing.

    Bloody egg?

    If she's still acting off, you might crosspost or ask to move your post to the injuries section for additional opinions. Edit: I didn't see that she's acting normal now. That's great!

    Bloody egg?

    Go check her vent. Right away. Try and take a picture if it doesn't look normal.

    First Egg Countdown

    Quote: Me too, I feel your pain! I've even put golf balls in the box, nothing. When all your girls are laying one egg a day, you may have to buy a recipe book for eggs only!! Hahahaha!!! BJC Actually I have neighbors lined up outside my door waiting! (Not really, but I am getting a bit tired...

    First Egg Countdown

    My 20.5 week flock is making me crazy! I have Camilla (white leghorn), Lil'Buff and Big Buff (BOs), Queenie (RSL), Al and Peep (white wyandottes). Twelve days ago, Camilla started squatting for me, and she does it readily and consistently. Lil'Buff will squat maybe one time in three, while...

    What's the longest you've had to wait between squat and egg?

    What's the longest you've had to wait between squat and egg?

    My 20.5 week old white leghorn first squatted for me on 9/4... 11 days ago! Her form is perfect like a statue, distinct, wings held out in a very unnatural way... but still no eggs. She does it every time I so much as wave a hand over her. What's the longest you have had to wait between first...

    Do chickens sneeze?

    When my chickens sneeze it sounds exactly like a sneeze, not a squeak.
