Hello, I have an elderly (around 7-8 year old) red sex-link hen, and for the last couple of years her feet and ankles have become more and more swollen. I don’t believe it’s bumblefoot, because there are no wounds or cores on the pads of her feet. Her foot pads, ankles, and toes are just...

With spring finally having officially arrived in my neck of the woods, :celebrate I figured I'd share with you all my super easy fly spray recipe. It's natural and non-toxic, unlike the flysprays that can be bought at feed stores. I use this stuff to detour flies around my coop, and spray it on...

Hi everyone, So I have a chicken who has a very sensitive crop. It started six months ago when she had a pendulous crop, but after I got her a crop bra she went back to her old self and would eat anything and everything she could. Since then she's had a slow or sour crop a few times, and every...

So I went out to the coop this morning and noticed that a chunk of skin was missing off of my RSL hen's back. The underlying tissues do not seem to be damaged. What should I do to clean and help heal the wound?

Hello everyone, I went out to my coop yesterday to find one of my two year old White Rocks with a swollen eyelid. She was acting normal so I assumed she was either pecked (she's at the top of the pecking order, but one of my Rhode Island Reds has been challenging her for flock leader lately) or...

Please help! My two year old White Rock hen is acting listless, not eating, has a pale comb, and diarrhea. She was acting fine yesterday. She's had a pale comb for a couple days, but I thought she was just taking a break from laying. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with her?

I picked up this hen from a family friend today and was wondering what breed she is? She's a buff color with white on some feathers. (She looks darker in the pictures than in real life)

I thought I'd share with you guys a odd egg one of my hens laid a few days ago. Why is it odd you may ask? Because it's ombré! :)

My 13 month old White Rock started losing some feathers when she was 10 months old but I didn't think much of it. Now she's 13 months old and her chest and butt are totally bare and she's missing feathers on her head. I know the other hens aren't pickng on her. Now today she's been kind of...

Hi everyone, I've had my chickens for a year now and would like to put them in the county fair. What kinds of things do I need to do to get them ready for it? Do I need to feed them special feed, use special bedding, a give them a bath ect. I'm entering one White Rock and one Rhode Island Red...

Please help me . I believe my 11 month old RIR hen has developed sour crop. Yesterday morning I went to feed my flock and she was kind of listless and just not her normal self. I picked her up and her crop was large, like when when she went to roost. I just decided to see what it was like today...
