So my rescue chicken of unknown age is pooping weird. She is undergoing stress right now due to a really severe molt (in December for heavens sake) but this recent, been happening for 2 days. Not all poops are like this. She's been lethargic since her molt began so I can't tell if it's more or...
This is quite urgent; a friend of mine had a duck eye pecked out by a chicken. It seems broken, the eye, but I can't tell; the eye is have 'glued' shut from an unknown substance. From what I can see, it's like a void. It's leaking a bubbly, clear fluid too; not excessive, just kinda coming out...
Hello everyone, I have a 1 year and 5 month old Easter Egger hen and she just started loosing a bunch of feathers starting from 2 days ago. I don't know what to do and i'm very scared something is wrong. When I also touch/pull out her feathers gently, it falls out very easily. Could this be...
We have a chicken who we presume an egg is broken inside her or she is feeling some kind of internal discomfort. We are giving her an epsom salt bath right now and will rub Vaseline on her vent and also give her some tums. What other precautions and safety measures can we take?
Hi everyone! So I noticed that my favorite hen (Muffin) had a patch of her fluff showing, so I went to see what was up and found her back almost completely feather-less. It almost looked like a broody hens belly, but on her back. She also had scabs and super super dry looking skin on her back in...

Hello everyone, I know it's pretty weird of my-self to ask how much chicken scratch should i feed to my chickens but I really want to feed them the best/desired amount. I bought a bag of Dumor 6 grain chicken scratch at my local TSC (LINK to chicken scratch...
I need some help/advice. I went out to change water this afternoon and found my 3 month old Cuckoo Maran in some bushes. When I picked her up, I noticed dry blood and she was having trouble walking.
After looking her over, it looks like something tried to get her. She has some puncture wounds...
Hello everyone, I'm very disappointed that my chicken saddle didn't work very well. I bought it around 2 months ago and it was working very well at the start and now when i took it off and checked her wing bow/shoulder, its ripped off with no feathers and is bleeding and I'm VERY sure it is...
So hubby has his mind set on using a greenhouse as the chicken run. Like one of those long tunnel greenhouses. I keep telling him no. I'd prefer the traditional outdoor dog kennel run. The run I have in question is only $400 and has a roof that is 10' wide 20' long and almost 7 tall. What he...
Hello everyone, one of my Easter Egger hens (Smokey) is limping whenever she runs. However when she walks slowly, she walks normally and doesn't limp. She eats and drinks perfectly. She does lay down in a corner because she is not feeling well about her foot. It seems like she is limping towards...
Hello everyone, my 2nd leghorn (Shyshe) acts kind of broody for the past 3 days or so. So this is how it works everyday at around 12pm she lays her egg and then she gets out of her nest box and starts eating, playing around with her other chicken friends but then at around 4-5pm she goes back...
Hello everyone, I looked at my rooster's wattle this evening and saw some strange white & black dots on his wattle!!?? This was very sudden to me because he isn't sick at all. Does anyone know what this is? Is there any cures? @Eggcessive @aart @rosemarythyme @DobieLover @HappyClucker7...
Hello everyone, I have been seeing some broken chicken eggs outside & inside the nest boxes for the past 2 weeks or so. I didn't think it was serious until I had enough of all the broken chicken eggs I saw. I usually collect my chicken eggs daily, but sometimes if I do forget, 1 skunk (I think)...
Hello everyone, I have been using sweet pdz for about 2 months from now, and I was wondering if I was doing everything correctly (I'm pretty sure i'm doing it wrong).

Hello everyone, I have my 1 year & 1 month old rooster who sometimes jump into his coop and start making these funny, weird noises (like noise when he finds food and some others that I couldn't get on this vid). What do you guys think this could be? Please comment any thoughts!

Hello everyone, I bought one of my roosters at TSC and I'm not sure what breed he is because when I bought my 4 chickens, the TSC staff marked all of them as leghorns which was "wrong". I think he may be a blue splashed Wyandotte x Easter Egger.
EXTRA: I'm also thinking to buy some mealworm...
