    Impacted Crop, Young Impacted Crop

    Hi! I have a young and super friendly hen who might have an impacted crop. The mass in her crop is almost the size of a baseball and very hard, I tried massaging it and it barely morphed the shape. I've had her off of food and drinking water with Apple cider and Apple cider vinegar in it for...

    Supposedly yellow eyelid looking red

    As in the photo, the upper eyelid of the left eye looks red. The same goes to the other eye except that it's not as red as on the side in the photo. Is there anything wrong? What should I do?

    Not sure what to label this, rooster help?

    I’ve been talking with my vet regarding Ori here and his issue with breathing. They are doing the same thing I’m doing here with this post, asking advice from people more knowledgeable than they are. I’ve included the same photos I have sent to the vet, with a few additional from last night...

    Any idea why my roo is doing this? Sickness? Trying to burp? Help!

He seems happy/eats/drinks water/crows/doesn’t seem abnormal otherwise, but this is very concerning to me . I am not sure what to search...

    Therapy Birb has Swollen Closed Eye

    My dad told me this morning that the dogs had gotten one of Cin's chickens, but he managed to save it just in time. I went looking for it to make sure it was okay (and it seems fine, just smells like dog). But then I happened upon my friend here who has a swollen closed eye and some crusty...

    Turmeric for Goats?

    Bit of an odd question, but this stems from what my goat is going through. So long story short, starting a few months ago, Jordi started peeing red. I called the vet who came down to look at her and do an ultrasound (which she wasn't still for at all; you need an army to hold this goat, and...

    8 year old hen laying eggs again

    Hello! So my old lady Easter Egger (she turns 8 this spring) has laid two eggs so far this week (in the dead cold of the so-called polar vortex no less). Should I be worried? I have read that laying at an older age can cause health issues for hens. I keep trying to tell her she’s retired but...

    Hen Losing Weight While Molting?

    I have a 2-3 year old RIR hen who is definitely molting, but she seems to have been losing weight recently. Another hen is molting too, but the one I’m concerned about is considerably smaller. I’m thinking she may have been losing weight prior to the molt, but when you see them every day it’s...

    Essential oils for chickens

    I thought some of this group might be interested in this article. We're trying to raise our hens as organic as possible and some of these suggestions seemed viable options. Has anyone else used essential oils with their flocks? Pros or cons...

    My chicken has an upturned nail

    Hi guys, I got a beautiful little sebright about two weeks ago and noticed that her middle nail upturned middle nail on her left foot. The skin on the bottom of that toe also looks to be wearing (I guess because she has no nail there to protect it). Is this a serious issue? I’ve never seen...

    Coturnix quail issue

    I just recently had two coturnix hens die of something that I can not figure out. The first bird went from being healthy one day to looking lethargic, having a swollen and squishy area around her vent, and she appeared to have lost a lot of weight. Thinking it might possibly be egg bound I gave...
