    Back Injury - Is Recovery Possible?

    Hi All, My 5yo leghorn, Karen, has always been a happy and healthy bird, but one of our other more elderly chooks passed away after a neighbours dog startled them, and since then Karen has been noticably depressed, stopped eating, and had trouble walking. The avian vet has done xrays and...

    Sickly Chicken

    Hey everyone. I'm hoping to get some help for my sick chicken. She's a 2 year old White Leghorn. She came in the house a couple weeks ago due to a lack of appetite and being generally lethargic. She "laid" a lash egg that was about the size of a Nickel or so. I gave her 2 doses of LA 200 and...

    Help! New to chickens. Swollen ear and wattle.

    This is one of our leghorns. See attached photo. I was told this could be an ear infection? How do I help our hen? She is acting normal and unbothered. We want to address this before it gets worse, and to know how to prevent it in the future. If you’re familiar with this, any guidance would be...

    4 ~8 month old laying hens for trade/sale!

    Hello there all! I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies. I originally got them for...

    White Leghorn Struggling To Lay, Only Laying Soft Shelled Eggs

    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...

    3 dead suddenly. Now a few are sick.

    The other night we had a 14 week old female leghorn die, for seemingly no reason. The Ring camera went off and I looked and she was just standing there. Kept watching and she starting flapping uncontrollably and flipping around and eventually fell over and died. We were sad but just figured she...

    What breeds does this newbie have?

    Hi all, I'm a newbie at raising chickens. I bought from a farm supply store what they told me were three leghorns and two starlight green eggers, but now that my girls are all grown up I'm skeptical. I have only one that's identifiably a leghorn (at least to my amateur eyes). Any ideas what I'm...

    Chicken doesn’t like me

    Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined. The problem is she, along with the rest of the chickens at the farm I got her at, don’t particularly like human touch. She looks to be about 9-10 weeks old, an ISA brown & leghorn mix...

    Chicken foot stuck in door, she now limps.

    I got my leghorn hen's foot stuck in the door of my coop. I didn't notice her foot was there until I was shutting the door. It's been a couple days and just noticed that she is limping. I picked her up to take a closer look and her left foot was almost completely limp, and her right foot was...

    Time for the guessing game!

    So... despite having added 8 chicks to our flock back in April bringing us to a total of 20, chicken math struck again and persuaded us that we need 2 cuckoo marans, 3 amererucanas and 1 white leghorn. I've wanted these breeds for a while, so no complaint... but we're at 3wks and I'm seeing...
