    Is it bumblefoot?

    So periwinkle has something going on with her foot and as far as I can find, I haven’t seen any cases of bumblefoot that look like hers. Two of her toes are like short and fat with a hard black scab on the tips. We are about to suit up for surgery unless anyone thinks it could be something...

    Hello, I need some help with my chicken. She has been laying some pretty weird eggs for about 4 months. They are wrinkly but hard (I will post pictures). But today I noticed that when she was pooping there was this white thing hanging out of her vent. I tried to investigate but it got sucked...

    Please help, I don't really know what I'm doing.

    Hi, I'm wanting to get into breeding chickens, but I've never tried anything outside of casually letting by broodies hatch whatever eggs they found. I can order some American white Bresse chicks, but kind of want to try crossing them with something that grows bigger. I'm looking to keep the...

    Help! Roster sick not sure what's wrong

    I have a less than 1-year-old rooster who has black spots all over his comb and the back of his head has been pecked at by one of our other roosters.

    Baby Chicks & Tractors

    Unfortunately, the day after Christmas a dog (German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois) jumped over our pasture fence and "got" 23 of our chickens. (BTW: We raised the fence!). Now we are trying to get chickens ASAP, so they can hopefully start laying early spring/summer. We have a commercial size...

    HELP Opossum Attack

    Our sweet girl pepper was attacked by an opossum last night in the coop. Thankfully I heard the commotion and got out there before it killed her, but she’s very shaken up and has some lacerations on her head. Many feathers removed as well. The main worry right now is that she isn’t opening...

    Meyer hatchery BBS Ameraucana without beard/muff?

    Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard? I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...

    Purple Comb

    My Black Copper Marran has become lethargic; his comb is purple and bleeding in some areas. The temp has not gotten below 39 degrees Fahrenheit, so I am unsure if it is frostbite. It has always gone through stages where it would get a little bit of purple when he gets excited or stressed, but...

    Cocidia?? HELP!!

    I scoop the poop out of the coop every morning and noticed this one with blood tinged mucus in it. I have a younger flock on medicated feed and they will steal theirs sometimes. Should I treat with corid? Is it safe if they're eating medicated food? Do I need to toss their eggs while on the...

    12 day EE chicks is this cecal poop or blood?

    12 day old EE chicks. We have noticed orange-reddish stuff in their poops, some almost stringy as if there is tissue in them. This has gone on 4-5 days now. Though maybe normal cecal, especially because they smell... All three seem fine otherwise, eating, drinking, lots of energy trying to fly...

    *EMERGENCY* Can I put only one egg in a incubator?

    So, there was a pigeon sitting on a chicken egg, but she decided to give up at 10 days. I put this chicken egg under her on October 1st. I'm wondering if I can save the chick? I have a TrioCottage incubator that I have, but I don't have any other fertalized eggs. If it's too late it's okay :D
