Some of my chickens have weird puffy eyes. One side of a chicken vs his other eye.

Maybe some kind of broody instinct? Like she was not broody, but wanted to protect her nest? Odd, whatever it is.

:(

what bedding do you use? could it be splay leg? you should try a chicken chair, to both help with balance and reaching food.

you could gently remove the eggshell, once you are CERTAIN there is no more veins or yolk to be absorbed.

they don't typically grow so long that you would notice them, but both hens and roosters can have leg spurs, and I know a few Rhode Island Red hens who have them. they still give me between 6 and 7 eggs a week each, and I have a half Plymouth named Uno that I hatched from one a few weeks ago!

the weather probably had something to do with it.

Have you posted pictures in the “what breed/ gender?” Forum?

By the way, are you in central Ohio?

Cool! Do you know what breed?

No. There’s a buying and selling form on here, but I posted about wanting to sell 3 ducks and a rooster ( Rhode Island Red), and nobody has offered to buy them. I was actually thinking about posting on Facebook Marketplace next.

well, somehow this thing's still alive. going to check on it again after school.

not sure but if I had a guess..... baby one looks like a Polish baby two is probably a Maran baby three is something crested, maybe a Legbar, or maybe some kind of mixed breed Polish. too early to tell gender.

what do you look for in a chicken? Plymouth Barred Rocks are a good breed to start with. in terms of coops, I would recommend making one out of pallets.

heh. I have autism, and the amount of times I need to stop myself from explaining to a random stranger why they should have Plymouth and Easter Egg over Rhode Island Red............. lol.
