    What's wrong with my hen?

    My 18 month old Rhodie started acting odd a few days ago. It's been hot and I thought she was molting (hasn't laid all summer, lost a lot of feathers). However, she is extremely lethargic, her comb is pale, and she hasn't moved out of a dark corner of the run all day. I didn't feel an egg when I...

    Chicken with pale orange comb, but acting normal

    I have a chicken that looks very pale in her comb. I treated her with prescription meds for mites, pig swig, and corrid. Everything looks normal, but her comb is still super pale.

    Hen very lethargic, pale droopy comb, etc.

    Hi all, trying to get some insight on what to do from here. We have a hen who is about 2 1/2 years old and has always been super sweet and gets along with all her coop-mates. About a week ago she stopped roosting and was sleeping on the ground which caused us to examine her. We found two old...

    Should Head-Flicking be a worry?

    My bantam has been flicking her head a lot lately and also her head is looking a bit pale. Her comb is purple because it's been dyed with gentian violet. Here's a video of the flicking. Should I be worried?

    Seemingly healthy pullet but showing strange symptoms

    I have a 6 month old pullet with a strange backstory. So she hatched from my two Easter Eggers and was always quite small for her age. When she was 3.5 months old, her feet got severe frost bite and she lost all her toes. She has lived in our house since but has been showing weird symptoms since...

    Change in chicken's behavior due to cold weather?

    This is my first winter with chickens and things have been going well despite the extreme cold we've had here in Minnesota.

    Pale comb question

    First, this is not an emergency. One of my buff orpingtons went broody at 5.5 month, a few weeks after she started laying. She sat for a week and then I finally got her some fertile hatching eggs because my boys weren't old enough at that point. She sat like a champ but too much so. She...
