I noticed Sally had a scab/sore on her abdomen today. No swelling and it doesn’t look like there is any puss build up. Really not sure how she could’ve gotten this. Should I treat it or does it look like something that will heal by itself?
Hello everyone,
One of my hens is acting very ill. Yesterday when I let them out she stayed in the coop, just sitting in the nest box. I brought her inside and checked her. Her comb and wattles are normal, there is no swelling or bloating anywhere, no heavy breathing or wheezing, but I think she...
So about 6 months ago I had a hen who had internal laying (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/is-my-hen-dying.1208830/) now I'm wondering if another has it. She is acting similar to my first hen but the symptoms are not as extreme. She stayed sitting on the coop floor instead of coming...
I was checking my girls today and noticed something strange by one of my Easter Egger's beak. After looking at it I have some questions. Is it an abcess? Can I do anything to get rid of it? Can it cause further harm to her? How does it occur and how can I prevent it? She is acting totally normal...
Hello fellow BYCers,
While letting the girls out this morning I noticed my oldest bird Samoa didn’t come out. She was lying on the floor of the coop. Her breathing sounds bad, like someone with a really bad cold. I picked her up and placed her in the run, she immediately just sagged down. She...
So I'll just cut to the chase and say its about confusion of Red sex-link hybrids. I've heard so many different names for these birds that all look the same, my questions are: Are they grouped as red sex-links and the other names branch off from there? Lets see if I can say this better. You are...
I saw you distrusted our badges, thank you! I noticed that I'm missing my spirit badge, it isn't a big deal I was just wondering. I understand if you are still distributing badges or if I was accidently missed. Thank you!
I was looking at the trading feedback and clicked on a thread which sent me to place like the new BYC but with out pictures. I thought it was just a glitch and so went to my profile but it didn't change, here is the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/index.php?members/chicken-girl1.331760/ ...
I keep on trying to visit @familyfarm1 profile page but it sends me to a page saying 'error-not found' (it doesn't even show up when I try and tag her). I haven't had a problem with any other members so far. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

I bought 7 chicks from a feed store yesterday and they were all eating, drinking, and running. However this morning Pip, my Easter Egger, is acting strange. She has been sleeping most of the time, I checked for pasty butt but she was clean, she is eating and drinking, just not being active (I...
Okay, I am writing an article on the different color varieties of: Cochins, Orpingtons, Plymouth Rocks, and Wyandottes. If you have any pictures that you can share that would be amazing!

Just a quick question, on a members profile page it tells you when they were last online. I noticed that a few members didn't have that, any particular reason? Just wondering :).
Arrggh! Came home from church today to find one of my hens killed . The rest of the flock were huddled together in a corner, the hen's insides were eaten but that's about all. I've had snakes, raccoons, hawks, and an unknown predator. What do you think was most likely predator to come in the...
Just something I found helpful that I thought I would share :). I have a chicken run that is situated on the side of a hill (I made it quickly and didn't realize that it wasn't the best location). Well after 5 years of having chickens all the grass....well is gone. It gets pretty muddy when it...
I have read so much (on this site and off) and have been told about Easter Eggers and what is considered an Easter Egger but they all have different ideas what an Easter Egger is . Is it just a mixed breed with the blue egg gene? But how come some people say that it can lay any color? Does it...
I was in the "What Breed or Gender is This?" forum and on any thread I went to the pictures wouldn't show up (even photos I saw the day before suddenly stopped showing up). I went to the "Raising Baby Chicks" forum and they aren't showing up there either. Is it just my computer or is anyone else...
