    Has anyone ever seen a lump like this? I noticed that one hip was more prominent when this bird was little but I didn’t think it was anything serious but now I’m worried by how big it seems to be getting. It’s definitely the source of their wry tail and it does seem to affect how they walk...

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help! My 2yr old buff Orpington hen Pancake has developed a hobble the past few days that has progressed to her struggling to jump onto the perch at night and slowing her movements. She is extremely skittish and hard to handle so I’ve only been able to...

    2 Year Old Barred Rock Hen Losing Her Voice?

    Bought a pigeon coop to use for chickens, safe?

    Hello, I bought a used 8x14’ shed to use as a chicken coop. It was previously used as a pigeon coop. It has excellent ventilation and has been cleaned well. There haven’t been pigeons in it for many months, possibly a year. It still smells but I’ll try to fix that, not that it won’t smell with...

    Is it constipation

    I have a Wyandotte chick here who keeps standing straight up like a penguin. Could it be constipation? No sticky butt, I already checked. Should I try feeding her a little olive oil? I also am not sure how to add a picture of her 😩
