    Confused about my chickens crop

    This is my first time raising chickens and I would REALLY appreciate any advice on this. My hen has a very large crop.

    Prolapsed chicken

    Hello, a few days ago we found one of our chickens (Tiffany) with some tissue outside the vent which we have concluded is a prolapse. We gave her an epsom salt bath and cleaned the area the best we could with a clean cloth. We tried to put the tissue back inside a few times but it just wouldn't...

    Mystery rare breed purchase

    What do we think she is? 4 weeks old. I got her in a rare breed assortment from MyPetChicken and I'm thinking Sumatra because of the extra long tail and bright yellow underside of her feet but I'm new to this and not totally sure.

The Silkie is just very feisty, and seems to want to try and pick a fight with everyone, especially the OEGB. The Phoenix just has a very large comb, and...
