Not sure what to do in this situation. We have a Rhode island red hen who keeps pecking us including my children and actually breaking the skin and drawing blood. She is about 6 months old. We only have 2 chickens, her and a buff orpington hen who hasn't pecked us at all.
What do we do?
So the other day my bardrock hen laid a super small egg. I thought nothing of it and heard later that it was normal. I thought it was weird but washed it and put it into my fridge.
Well today I was making meatballs and needed some extra moisture. I didnt particularly want a whole other egg, so...
I went to let my girls out and my 1yr old Wyandotte hen had a poopy butt with some sort of bloody chunk. I checked the coop and no blood or other chunks. I have never seen this before so I was wondering if anyone knew if this was normal or not. She is otherwise acting fine and has been laying...
This is my second winter with chickens and here in Michigan, we have been dealing with some very strange and cold weather; because of this, I have been struggling with frostbite most of this winter. I have been monitoring all of my chickens everyday to make sure everything is looking ok but...
I’m not sure what could be causing this but my female coturnix hen has been laying eggs without shells for about 3-4 days now. She has just started to additionally poop out blood. Under her cage (she’s in solitary within the flock- comparison pic of her waste with the flock’s in images) she has...
:hiti am so upset. This morning I went out to the coop to find one female standing on top of a stand with a bloody mess where one eye was. The other eye is fine and she was eating and running around but is missing an eye! :hit. I’ve done all i know, they have enough room and I give them meal...
Hello,
I have 6 chickens and they are different breads, I stole them from a school i worked at as they weren't being looked after properly. (They nearly died)
I have one who has barely any feathers on her back and i've been finding blood splatters in their coop.
Im very unsure what to do?
I just noticed that a few of my younger hens have started pecking and jumping on one of my older hens and I went to check her out and noticed that she had been scratched on the back of the neck and had some blood coming out. As far as I know it's not too serious but is there anything I can do to...
I can not get my duck to the vet at this time as my car is being repaired. I’m am VERY WORRIED as this is my favorite duck.
She is a 3yr old welsh Harlequin she is just drink a lot of water and standing. She is still moving and tried to escape me picking her up. I just walked outside and saw...
One of my girls just gave us this egg- this has never happened before, we were able to wash the red off. Should I be concerned? What can cause this? What should I do?
Hi there. I really hope someone can help me. My chicken has these black dots around her eyes and some blood around her neck also (I’ll insert a picture). She is the head of the pecking order so it would be weird, but I guess possible for her to be attacked. She is acting normal and eating and...
This was on the poop plate this morning (Frozen). Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my hen? Is this a possible sign of worms? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What an interesting Halloween my birds had!
First, let me start by explaining the layout of their enclosure. The main structure is a 12 X 12 dog pen, with a roof kit and hardware cloth covering the bottom 48 inches and door. Layered under that is chicken wire that covers the entire...

One of our 4 month old Leghorn pullets seems to have something hanging out of her vent. She seems fine, clear eyes, active, pooping fine, and eating and drinking enough; but what we thought was pasty butt looks like something else. We soaked her and tried to use a toothbrush to massage it out...
Hello.
For that last couple of weeks we have seen 1 of our chickens has some feathers lost on her top and the main area is in her neck. Ive seen multiple posts saying its due to molting so I left it alone. Ive also seen a post saying its due to water/coop/feed/run which may have diseases or...
So there were a couple giant poops in the run this morning, and I am suspecting they are broody poops from my chicken who takes her sweet time in the nesting box. There seemed to be blood in a poop, but it didn't really resemble what I've seen of coccidiosis online. None of my hens have any...
Hello everyone, I have a young cuckoo Maran rooster who is about 2 months old, and has seemed very healthy and strong, until this morning. I had gone on an outing and had asked a family member to lock up the chickens for me, she did, but she said she didn’t count the chicks. This morning another...
Saw this on the chickens comb today and not sure what to think about it, she's one of a batch of rescue ex-caged hens so condition is not brilliant but we would like to make sure no one gets any worse. She's about 15 months old and we've had her for almost 3 weeks.
There is a bit of dried blood...
