weird

This is Dessa, short for Iridessa. She is the one closest to the camera standing awkwardly. The stance she is in is her default and she is constantly walking like this or with her head to the ground when foraging. Now, she hasn't always walked like this. As a duckling, she walked like a totally...

This duck had a deformed bill, but he is still doing fine. I'm wondering if this sack by his neck is normal or also a deformity, I think I saw another duck that had one but not like this.

Hi my chick has recently started walking really weird, it wasn’t like this when it hatched and idk what to do about this situation, will my chicken get any better?

I recently purchased two white Orphington hens, around 18 months old. We noticed as soon as we brought them home that one of the hens had an odd black patch on her side. She was eating, drinking and pooing fine so we left her to settle for a few days before investigating. It looked like a...

Hiya, so about a week ago now me and my family got some chicks from bomgaars like normal. This americana chick in the pictures, named Piper, started growing in her feathers normally but some are curving weird. The curvy feathers only happens in a certain part of the wing, and on both wings. This...

So I have this new rooster he’s about 5 months. He’s a cross between Easter egger and a sliver laced polish. Polish is the daddy. He has purple spots on both sides of his face. Idk if it’s from pecking order or if it’s like his ears? Or some sort of skin disease? I’m going to attach the best...

Hello all, I have an almost 3 year old coturnix quail and a young one (about a year old). Yesterday my old bird looked like she was struggling with something, almost as if she was trying to lay an egg. She stopped laying at the age of 2. Today I found this thing in the cage, I have no idea what...

One of our Black Australorp juvies (~17-18 weeks) pooped a weird poop next to me this morning, conveniently on the bench I was sitting with my coffee of course but that means I did get to see it. She pooped what seems to be a yellow rock? Maybe a calcium deposit? It is completely solid, can't...

Hi everyone. One of my Golden Comets has been laying some strange eggs lately. She often lays ones with bumps (calcium deposits) and I don't really mind. I still eat them. But lately, she has laid a few with these strange holes/divets in them, and I don't know what this is. I tried searching...

My 3 year old california white hen laid this in a soft shell this morning- What's inside??? Looks like a white rock, and a blood clump with tissue in it. My main concern is her safety, her reproductive system has always been a little funky which I know can turn dangerous real quick.

I went to collect eggs and found two eggs that were speckled. I currently do not have any adults that would normally be laying speckled eggs yet I have two girls that are 12-13 weeks old. One I’m not sure exactly what she is and the other is an easter egger but I know it’s highly unlikely that...

Sally, my female Duclair occasionally sleeps/rests like this, and it worries me. It seems pretty innocuous, but I can’t help but fear somethings up. There’s not much else concerning going on, other than that she is slower than the rest of the flock and seems a bit “air headed.” She is also a...

Most of it is like clear goop. I saw Tractor standing out in the yard and she looked kinda scrunched up, the way chickens do when they’re not doing well. She did struggle when I picked her up tho as she hates being handled. She does have mites but I’m going to dust her in a hot minute. No...

Naked Neck X Frizzle Polish X SilkieX Easter Egger

Hello everybody One of my young Maran girls gave me this egg today. It was very small and had this on the inside. Does anybody know what this is?

I am full of weird animal facts today 😂🤣 Just learned them so figured I’d share 😂🤣 Like that killer whales sometimes eat deer and they also have their own distinct cultures and even languages :ep and apparently some even mosh 😂 they even have coordinated hunts and pass their hunting...

Okay so new to chicken ownership and bought a cuckoo maran pullet back in March. She's just started laying eggs... but they are blue. Totally confused as I thought they'd be brown? I've been googling to see what may have gone on, but all I can see is that if she was an unintentional cross, she'd...

First time posting and joining- I usually find answers here without the need to post- but I have found something weird I can’t find anything else like it! This came from one of my smaller Sultan hens. Came from inside the egg. To me it looks like an underdeveloped eggshell inside the other egg...
