OK, so it’s about the same hen I posted yesterday. She can only walk a few steps. She was getting better today walking more but now when I feel her area around her vent, it feels very full and like it’s full of fluid. Any thoughts? I’m very worried about her. She is a two-year-old wellsummer...

I have a two-year-old wellsummer hen that is unable to walk more than a few steps without sitting down and using her wings to balance. She’s able to drink and eat if I bring her to the water. Her vent is nice and soft and I don’t feel Any. Not sure when she laid an egg last. What should I do? I...

Hi there! I have a green queen hatched from November 6, 2023. I don’t have much experience with this breed of chicken, any thoughts on gender? Sexed as a pullet.

A few of my hens have this blackish discoloration on their combs. I just noticed it a couple of days ago. They are about a year and a half. There are no scabs or lesions just discoloration. Is this normal?

1) Splash Maran 2) Acting lethargic, still eating somewhat- isolating from the group. Not sure she has laid an egg in a while but her vent area is soft. Lots of green stool (formed) below her vent. Crop feels like a soft water balloon and is larger than normal. While mashing it, she burped...

I have a 28 week hen that is acting lethargic. Some mild gurgling sounds very intermittently. She will pack and eat couple of pellets and then go and lay back down. She has watery stool. I brought her inside and gave her some electrolytes I noticed a purpleish hue to the top of her comb. I have...

So my 21 week splash Marans has this weird bump at the base of her back where her tail feathers begin. She keeps turning around pick at it. She’s also having a lot of stool collect around her vent. She just started laying this week. She’s eating and drinking OK. Acting fine. I cleaned her...

I have a welsummer pullet (16weeks) that is limping. I have examined her foot, no visible injury or swelling. I gently pressed on her leg and she didn’t react. Should I be worried that something is brewing out maybe she just pulled a muscle?

Thoughts on the one with more comb and wattle development? Both are a little over 15 weeks. There are 2 pics of each for comparison. Thank you

A week ago I was certain that this one was a pullet but now I’m questioning…. The tail has me confused 🤔

I’m new to this breed. I received 2 day old chicks, one with a comb development quicker than the other. Still no predominant waddles at eight weeks. Just a faster developing pullet or questionable cockerel?

Almost 6 weeks- ordered a pullet from hatchery. Is it still too early? No obvious wattles at this time. Looks like saddle feathers but isn't too soon for those?

I received two welsummer chicks l (my first time with this breed) from Meyer’s as day old chicks on 1/11. Both looked identical but now the difference between them is huge! Is this normal? My other breed pairs are quite similar. I ordered all female. The last pic shows them together. Thanks...

I just have a gut feeling about this one. I have two week old chick and I feel like this one is a cockerel. It is a Blue Orpington from Meyer hatchery born 1/10 ish. Too soon?

I thought this big girl was a Rooster for the longest time 😂😂 Got this lil egg today! I am so happy.

I have so many questions about this chicken. She’s a buff Orpington that’s about 19 weeks old. And her feet are massive!!! Which has me concerned that she’s actually a rooster. Now I’ve noticed that they have been getting darker and the scales look like this. Do I need to soak her feet in Epsom...

So I was told when I bought this sweet girl she was a blue copper Marans. I don’t think she is. I’m thinking that she’s a Langshan... Or is she’s something else? She definitely has the U-shaped more so when she walks then on the picture. And very dark brown eyes.

So I have 4 buff Orpingtons. One of which has yellow legs and now appears to have different tailfeathers. Dolly is 10 weeks old. I think these are saddle feathers coming in but I’m not quite sure. Her comb and waddles are not developed see attached pictures. Thoughts? I cannot have a Roo where I...
