Hello. So I have a head scratcher of a situation. Last fall one of my Vorwerk hens who at the time was 6 months old, started acting more dull than the rest of my flock. No other symptoms noted. She never got any worse, was always the same dullness you could say. She eventually passed in her...

Blackberry my broodie just hatched two happy, healthy, silkie chicks! I came to gather eggs at 6:45 pm, to make some muffins with my mom 🥰 I came over and saw a raccoon, I counted all my chickens, and luckily everyone was there 😅 I went into the coop and found one egg. We needed two. My mom told...
I have a backyard flock I need to downsize. It includes some desired breeds. I just don’t know what I’d price them at and I’m hoping some of y’all on here can help me. My downsize list includes:
.2 Ayam cemani roosters -hatched 1/21/24
.2-4 ayam cemani hens hatched 1/21/24
. RIR hen about the...
I have a few hens sitting on a nest. Four babies have hatched the other chickens killed two and I was able to get to the other two in time but I'm having to check every hour so the chickens don't harm them. Am I able to take the remainder of the eggs and put them in an incubator for them to...
Got my birds from a somewhat local breeder,1.5 hrs away, who delivers through our area to surrounding counties. When I ordered our chicks I stated all hens except for 1 gold laced Wyandotte to be a rooster. He replied through messenger ok and we met up. One blue laced wyandotte had a curled foot...
So I noticed blood in the coop this afternoon and immediately looked to the poor bullied hen, Beetle. Despite being older than the others by some days, this poor hen landed herself at the bottom the pecking order and is constantly bullied— she used to have feathered feet 😭
Well... turns out...
Hello, my sweet buff orpington hen had her eye pecked. I think the eye is ruptured. It's so swollen I can't get a good look at it. If I had the money I would take her to the vet but unfortunately, I don't have the $1,500 dollars needed for an eye removal surgery. I've been giving her...
We had a broody hen but she killed one of the chicks after hatching. We removed the rest of the eggs and transferred to the incubator but didn’t have much luck. She’s still super broody - can I give her another chance to hatch/mother a clutch of eggs? Or is it once a killer always a killer? Help!
Hello. This is Pearl, I don't know what breed she is. Would any of you happen to know?
Here's a picture of her enjoying watermelon.
I have another hen I don't know the breed of. Her name is Mrs. Rolley. I tgink she's a Buff Orpington but I'm not sure.
I have a hen that is not acting right. Her name is Scottie, and she just turned two years about a month ago. she’s been acting very lethargic the last week or so but I’m not sure what’s wrong with her her symptoms are…. Weak and walking unsure of herself, kind of a bit like she could fall over...
Hello. This isn't an emergency, just a casual question. Majestic the Easter Egger hen is strangley swaying her head alot. She has started doing this in the last 5 days.
I have a video of her doing it since it's hard to explain.
She does it every few minutes then she's completely fine. :) 😀...
I while back I posted about my broody hen and how she was so eager to hatch. Since that day she has still been broody and I have no Idea what to do. I have taken her eggs then have let her laid them, i've separated her then put her back, I've even hand fed her in fear that she'll starve. She...
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with my hen? Could it be organ failure? She is an older (unsure of the age but definitely 4+) RIR. Her name is Reba.
Here are her symptoms:
-Drooping comb with the ends turning purple
-No appetite (refused scratch just now)
-Poopy butt - I noticed it...
I have 7 splash laces red Wyandotte chickens, it’s my first time having chickens. They are a little over 2 months old, and I have one that has more developed facial growth and is much bigger and aggressive then the others, did we get a rooster? I have attached two pictures of it and a third to...
I Noticed that 1 of my female duck has a lot of sores all over her bill and also her nose holes look like they are closing up a little, any idea what’s wrong with her? I haven’t seen this with any of my birds before. she is about 6 years old and is a silver welsh harlequin.
I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁
What does everyone think?
