    Hen with purple comb

    I’ve got a 1 and two month old blue Andalusian who gets a purple comb on the back and tips. (Pics included, but it looks darker in person). It isn’t all day, just usually in the evening when she’s moving around a lot more. I wasn’t too concerned at first because she has a pretty big comb, but...

    Hen dripping slimy clear liquid from beak

    Hello, it’s me again. One of the 2 Rhode Island Reds with presumably Coccidiosis started dripping a slimy, yet clear liquid from her beak. It’s on and off, and I’m wondering what it is from. I don’t have to worry about quarantining them from the flock, as they’re new and haven’t been accepted...

    Americanas not laying

    We have 5 one year old hens: 2 Americana, 1 lavender Orpington, 1 leg horn and 1 barnevelder. Since early February I haven’t gotten a single from the Americanas. We chalked it up to cold weather and not much sunlight. Even though the other girls were laying in full force and we keep a heat...

    My Hen Ethel is acting weird and I'm worried about her

    This morning she was standing near the door staring at a wall. I gentle got her to come out, but she went one part of the run and stayed there. Worried she might get to hot later I put her back in the coop. She looks physically fine, but I don't think she has eaten or drank anything. Out of...

    1 y.o. BO hen started biting me

    This week my 1 y.o. Buff Orpington started biting me-see pictures. First bite was as I was walking out of the run, she ran up behind me and bit my leg-drew blood. I picked her up and held her down on my lap to show her whos boss. She has been occasionally picking feathers of the other three hens...
