Hey everyone. First, I want to thank you all for your contributions to this site. You all have been so helpful to me over the years. I'm currently at a loss on which treatment route to go with my girl, Green. She's a Rhode Island Red, almost 3 years old. She's always sorta had a little bit of a...
They have been indoors with no added heat for a few weeks now. They are fully feathered. 2 australorps, 2 barred rock, and 2 easter eggers. They have been outside all day today in the 40s and 50s
It seems it will get as low as 27 tonight though in Mississippi. They have a coop with wood chips...

I think My favorite hen, 5.5 years old has an impacted crop.
She hasn’t been eating well on her own for 5-7 days so I started torpedo feeding her a mashed torpedo of (22% protein chick starter, latter baby bird food, chick grit with probiotics, and probiotic powder) about 5 days ago. When I...
I ask those that I give/sell eggs to, please let me know if the eggs is "weird". This is the first in years ... I know who laid it as I have only 3 hens, each laying a different color egg. The hen (1.5yr) who laid this egg had a soft shell egg in May and July, her eggs get odd shaped at times...
Hoping someone can help me. My 7 1/2 year old buff Orpington is having difficulty eating and drinking, and the concern is becoming real. It started late April, following winter in Minnesota, I thought she had a dirty beak. Snow had just melted, everything kind of muddy. After several weeks it...
So we have a day old chick that started going down hill pretty fast a second ago. We gave some nutridrench to see if it would help her but it looks as if she is choking and she can’t seem to swallow and has some water/nutridrench coming up her throat. I don’t know if it’s because we fed her...
I went out to feed this morning and found my turkey hen had a prolapsed vent and her little jerk flock mates decided to peck it excessively. I clean it with Microsyn ah wound and skin Care hydrogel and put some hydrocortisone cream around the edges of her vent and attempted to gently push it...

All joking aside, my daughter found one of my hens in the corner of the run this afternoon after school. She did get up to come greet her after she entered the run and that's...
I found my hen yesterday afternoon with a bloody backside. After cleaning her off, I noticed some yellowish discharge from her vent. I suspect that she has a reproductive issue (I've noticed that one of my hens stopped laying the past few days and now I think it is her) and somehow that caused...
This one (with the tuff) has me questioning myself; comb and wattle has me going back & forth although the feathering has me thinking pullet?
TSC/Hoover Hatchery purchased in April, Hoover's EE sexed at hatchery & purchased as pullet. The other is from the same batch of chicks & has me...
I'm trying to convince myself it's pullet, however heard it crow & saw it crow :hmm It's a Marans/WTB (white splash) and according to the hatch date I was given when I got "her", it's 13wks today. The WTG (red/brown) is 15wks old, I'm sure that's a pullet.
Need your expertise ... I know it's...
Hi. My three year old leg horn started wheezing on Monday. I attached the video of her. She was acting normal; eating, drinking, and even laid an egg on Monday. I isolated her & treated her last week for worms with safeguard for 5 days. She was so infested with them that her crop became...
