Happy Monday chicken community, I hope you and your feathered friends are doing lovely!
For the last nearly two weeks my white leghorn has been laying soft shelled eggs. She was a very very consistent layer, sometimes two large white eggs a day! The eggs are certainly not my concern, honestly I...
Posting in hopes of helping someone else with the same issue.
Last Wednesday I found a lash egg in the coop laid by my little silkie, Tina. After researching online I feared it was a death sentence and frantically tried to get her into our avian vet with no luck.
She laid a second a few days...
My 4 year old wyandotte hen is acting totally normal, eating and drinking normal, running out of the coop each morning. The only thing wrong is her poop is weird. Semi-clear liquid with some solids mixed in.
Every once in awhile she'll drop a semi normal one.
I just dewormed her with valbazen...
I was out of town when my chicks hatched and my husband fed our new chicks LAYER FEED rather than starter feed!!! All but one died by the time I got home. I came home and noticed the large grains and freaked out!! I swapped out the feed and gave this little gal electrolytes/probiotics by...
Hey guys!
welp, it happened! I got my kidney transplant! Fortunately I was able to get my coworker and friend to take my four ducks while I recovered. I found out that I would NOT be able to take the ducks back at all post transplant, so they’re living on 10 acres here in Southern California...

Gloria is an ex-battery hen and has been with us for just over one year so we are unsure of her exact age. Nearly two weeks ago she started to seem a little distracted and lethargic with a loss of appetite. We gave...
Hello,
I have a 3 months old silkie that I think had not eaten or drank for a few days. Maybe 3, 6 or possibly 8 days. (I know it is unlikely for her to survive the later days.)
We went on vacation for 10 days and paid someone to check on our chickens every other day. My SILKIE Coop was to...
This time last week I had to put my beautiful 12 &1/2 year old Albert to sleep. A fortnight before, he had started refusing his regular pellet feed. He would eat other types of food when I encouraged him, but gradually over the course of a fortnight reduced to eating nothing at all. He also had...
