Hi, so for the past day and a half one of 3 chicks is pooping these light poops? I have two adult hens and never seen this poop, it looks pretty close to the color of their feed. Heres pics of the small beige one next to a normal poop. No sickly symptoms, is eating and drinking normally, i just...
So is sparring this early a good indication of being a rooster?
They are exactly 8 days old. My one chick tried to spar today with its siblings, full kicks and neck poof. It was ridiculous seeing a ball of fluff karate kicking. Im already calling it a he because hes the most cuddly and bonded to...
Hello! So i just got 5 day old chicks yesterday and im brooding them in my room for two weeks before moving them outside and expanding the brooder. as soon as they got settled they became very quiet and happy, and very friendly. Darting in and out of the heat pad, eating a bunch and drinking...
I think this is my 3rd post this past week... not a good week so far :(
I have yet another chicken that's all fluffed up; Brigid, my JG. She's walking around and everything with her feathers fluffed, but her crop is slightly full and squishy. No sour smell.
I have a feeder left in the run for...
My Rottweiler was attacking my hen when I came home, and he ripped off a huge chunk of her skin and ate it. You can slightly see a few of what I think are her organs? we were able to get him away from her and keep her alive for longer, she’s eating, drinking, and standing but she’s still in pain...
hi friends!! our dear Butter has laid her first egg, but it was done underneath our stairs, using a nest made out of bubble wrap!
me and my mother were outside doing our own thing when we noticed she was under our stairs and was in a nest sort of thing… we were like “huh maybe she will lay...
This egg had zipped all the way around when I went to bed at about 1am. At 7am, my husband got up and it still hadn't hatched... Its now 9 and I have not seen any activity at all this morning. I have another egg zipping and a baby that just broke out about 90 minutes ago... Plus two other...
Someone please help me soon so the short version is my duckling hatched too soon and appeared to have been absorbing the yolk it was only about a nickel size left but would not absorb for some reason I did the cup, Saran the moist paper towel and everything and I should mention it was not the...
Let me start off with the information that I have contacted every single vet in town, and none are willing to see a chicken. :( I even called the zoo and the vet they recommended.
Ok, this poor girl has been dealing with this eye irritation/ infection for quite some time now, no sneezing or...
Good morning, y’all! I opened my coop about an hour ago to let my chickens out & as one of my Orpingtons (about 10 months old) was jump flying out, she landed on the coop floor (outside the door) and slid when she landed. She got down & was limping, but she puts pressure on that foot & will limp...
Hello, my lady has swollen feet. When I got her a few weeks ago I made a mistake and didn't check her feet, she had scaly legs, which I've been treating with ballistol oil. They're getting better and suddenly today I see that her feet are swollen like this? Could this be bumble foot? Should I...
hi everyone! I’m in need of advice about my poor hen who recently got dumped by my rooster for our newly matured hens. My rooster is a 1.5 year old silkie mix and the hen is as well. These two had the cutest relationship, just like an old married couple (hence the title) but after integrating...
I have a duck"ling" that has MANY special needs, she was born paralyzed in both her legs (she can walk now, not well, but she gets where she needs to go), her tongue is severely deformed, it's just a ball in the back of her mouth, she is pretty small for her age, and her feathers are not growing...
This has puzzled me for 10 months…Literally.
In fall 2020, my hens molted. However, one of my hens didn’t grow any feathers back on her neck and shoulder area. I saw some lice and treated with DE and Manna Pro Lice Spray.
She never grew those feathers back!!!
Then another hen had the exact...

My chicken laid this small soft shelled egg, then laid a normal egg the next day, and next thing she lays is this monstrosity! She was having issues all day laying it then finally shot this out with an audible squelch
this is the first small softshell one ^
and then this is the weird one. This...
PLEASE HELPThere is something wrong somewhere in my chicken. In the morning she still has a little ball of food in her crop, but if I wait until 9 or 10 in the morning she's digested most of it, and if I give her a spice mix with a syringe it will disintegrate. If I do nothing and feed her she...
My Buff Orpington is very lethargic, her eyes are just wanting to be closed, and seems pretty sleepy. And kind of depressed looking. She also has pretty bad balance. Today she had white/green poop. I'm new to all of this. What should I do? What can I give her to make her feel better?
My chicken is about two years old and has been acting weird since yesterday. She was slow and laying down most of the day (lethargic) and seemed to be trying to push something out. Upon further inspection, she has a bulge right under her vent which I suspect after watching some videos is the...
There are 2 beautiful Pekin ducks that live on a small ski lake behind my house. They are not "my ducks" per say, but I enjoy them and they frequent my yard daily. I was just walking in my backyard, musing on whether I should put up a small shelter for them. I glanced my way to the...
My 2 year old Rhode Island Red rooster has suddenly fallen incredibly ill. Just four days ago I noticed he was laying beside the coop, a behavior I believed was okay seeing as he would still get up and move, it just seemed as if he was slightly lethargic. Overtime his conditioned worsened, even...
