My 2 yr old Easter egger Lindsay LoHen is having an issue and I’m not 100% sure if I have the right idea. She had sour crop and it seemed to clear with yogurt because I thought I caught it quickly. Now her crop was impacted and hanging very low. She is almost trying to push it up with her feet...

This thing was in the nesting box this morning. I have been free ranging our birds and they have enjoyed the woods lately. Anyway it could be a small animal one passed through the vent? Anyone have other thoughts on what this gross thing is? Just curious about your opinions.

Please help Last night my barred rock was in the nesting box when it was time to roost. I lifted her from the box and their was a full egg yolk/white and a piece of shell but no other shell. Today she is in the nesting box and won’t leave. I’m wondering if the shell is still inside her vent...

We got this girl from Rural King and the lady said she’s an EE. I see her muffs and am just wondering where she got her unusual coloring. Any ideas?

My one year old Isa Brown is laying inconsistently and is having regular shells and then shells like this. This shell is thin as well as deformed. Can you help me figure this out?

I had to put one of my hens out of her misery last night. She was and olive egger, just over one year old. The back story is she lost her feathers last December and quit laying. She never laid another egg since that time. She was laying regularly before that so I know she was capable. She ate...

I saw this on YouTube and thought I’d give it a try in my sunroom. It’s a 4 person tent and is working out really well. The chicks are 4 weeks today. I take them into the yard (in a flexible pet enclosure) once a day to pluck around, see the older hens, and dust bathe. Hopefully I can get them...

Not sure if this is normal or worms. Seems they have more white in their poop lately.

This poor hen had lost her feathers in late December and hasn’t started to lay since. She eats and acts normal but looks worse lately. Since these pictures her comb is very light almost like it was bleached and ears are almost white. I cannot figure this out and feel like a failure. The other...

My husband and I went out of town for 10 days and had the neighbor boy open and close the run and give a treat in the morning (watermelon or some greens such as parsley or cilantro, maybe a few black soldier Flies, anyway a small amount). Ever since we returned they have mostly stopped laying...

The isa brown & Olive egger are 16 weeks 3days and the Easter eggers are 16 weeks tomorrow.

Does anyone know if my hen Cookie (Plymouth Barred Rock) looks close to laying? She’s 16 weeks 3 days. I’m so excited for the first egg! Do they lay at anytime during the day? I’m leaving the coop door open since they free range in our fenced yard.

I posted a few weeks ago about my chicks and got some solid answers but I just want to make sure because we have to get rid of the roosters. Here are the 2 chicks now. One is 8 weeks today and one is a few days older. Still thinking they are cockerels? Also, I’m wondering if I cannot find...

This one is a 6 week old Buff Orpington. Her buddy died around day 3 so I have nothing to compare her with. She is named Queenie because she was always the first to come to my hand and was least fearful. I’m not sure if she could possibly be a cockerel so I’m wondering your opinion? Should the...

Any idea if this is a rooster? It was sold to us at a feed store as an Americana with 3 other chicks that look nothing like this one. I suspect the other chicks are Easter egger chicks but this one I am unsure of. I’m thinking it may be a Roo? It is 6 weeks old. Thanks for your thoughts!

https://pin.it/GdrKhMj I have a 6 week old chick sold to us as an Ameracauna chick and it looks completely different from its 3 other flock mates. Does anyone know what this chick could be and if it is a hen or rooster? Thanks in advance for your help.
