    What should I do?

    I need to make a decision soon about Ethel, one of my not-so-healthy chickens. Around 2 months ago, Ethel recovered from Sour Crop. I had to give her water and medicine through a syringe for a week. Yesterday, I noticed she had it once again. Ethel hasn't laid an egg in about 8 months, so I...

    White Egg Mystery

    Hello! I'm rather new to owning quail, so I'd appreciate some insight on this topic. One of three hens in my larger cage laid an egg completely devoid of pigment, except for a little smear on the fat part of the egg. When I opened the egg, I also found that it lacked a membrane. All three of my...

    HELP! My 9 month old pullet acts like a chick!

    Chickens staying inside a lot, not laying

    Any ideas why my chickens would be staying inside so much lately? I’m a little worried about them. It’s been kind of a while they’ve been doing it. At first I thought maybe they were scared of a hawk cause we have a lot and I saw one perched on the run one day and then I thought maybe they just...
