I found this very odd chicken poop in the barn. I've never seen anything like it. I thought it might be a worm but it didn't move when I touched it with a stick. It was malleable but didn't seem alive or once living. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I have a problem with my flock? I have 9...

I have 6 elderly chickens and recently added 3 new hens and a roo. They are almost 5 months old. The new hens and roo were in a smaller, adjoining coop and run for a month before moving in. My problem is that the new birds won't roost with the other hens and roost in the laying boxes. The...

I just picked up 3 chicks at the feed store. I noticed one has a funky toe. I don't mind having a chick with a funky toe, but does it look like it will heal and just look funky? Or does it look diseased? Everything else about the chick looks fine as far as I can tell. I can return the chick to...

This is my favorite chicken. Does anyone know what breed she is? I've had her for many years and her comb has always flopped over. I'd like to get a couple more chicks of the same breed. Thanks for any help you can give me identifying her.

I've recently opened eggs to eat and found eggs that look like they have a sack in the egg white. I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with my hens. Not all eggs have the sack in the whites. I've had my 10 hens and 1 rooster for at least 3 years, and some for about 8+ years. Are the eggs...
