    Neck Wound

    It seems as though a coyote has tried attacking one of my hens. She has a nasty wound on her neck with a hole. I thought there was grass stuck to the wound but instead it is the grass she has been eating that is coming out the side of her neck. She is still acting fine, walking, eating...

    Weird neck movement from hen

    Since we rescued one of my hens, she’s always come off as sick. She’s survived months and has always been one of the top hens, but recently I’ve become concerned.

    Hi! This little guy hatched from under its mother one hour earlier. It seemed that the hen was pecking the egg to help it come out and we were watching as it came out. However, when it did, it had a little yellow sack attached which the hen started devouring it, and it seemed that it kinda...

    Soft lump on chick's throat, full of bubbles?

    We have a ten day old male chick with a lump on his throat. We thought it was his crop to start with, but now it is soft and squishy and kind of bothers him when you touch it. I've attached the best photo I could get. The skin over it has no feathers or fluff and is really thin, and I can see...

    Chick with tucked neck?

    I’ve noticed one of my chicks holds her neck tucked in slightly further than the other chicks. It doesn’t seem to affect eating drinking or her normal life, but I am wondering if it might just be a hatch defect or so thing she’ll grow out of. Here’s a picture:
