Hi everyone. Got new chicks at TS and one had severe pasty butt/huge clog stuck, idk how long for. Was able to remove it and saw the white part of this poop in the vent. Finally she pooped and this is the result. Is this healthy? Is this a concern? It worries me as far as the stringyness of it.
Need help of anyone knows whats going on here or has had this happen before.
This is a first for us and just noticed.
Shes the lowest of the pecking order.
Honestly, can't ever get too close to the girls because of our rooster. All the other chickens look fine.
Obviously it looks like she...
Hi, need help, I spooked a chicken while she was laying on accident, and she ran away without laying. Unfortunately now none of the chickens want to lay in their nesting box. They are laying in the coop near it. How can I get them to use the nesting boxes again?
I am a new chicken owner and my chickens are 20 weeks. We have 1 rooster and 5 hens. (all same age). 3 of our hens just started laying and we let our chickens free range the yard when we can so they don't feel cooped up in the run (they always try to escape lol).
Yesterday, I was calling them to...
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to reply and you were right. She ended up laying later on in the nesting box the same day. 😂 as a matter of fact, I was so proud of her because they were out free ranging and she went into the run and to the coop to go laying the nesting box 🥰

The 2 who lay I noticed are now standing on the roosts at night vs before they laid eggs they would sit. Why is this? Is this normal?
Also, one of them (olive egger) laid in nesting box twice but the 3rd time laid...
What did you SWEAR by to get rid of flies? In the coop AND run.
First time chicken mama and yo. Didn't expect to be in war with so many flies. 😂 help please.
I put those liquid fly trap bags, DE and vanilla scent trees up. So far the vanilla scent trees seem to be effective and I literally...
Thank you. That's my current method, usually l try to tend to them in the morning and then just shower and change out of those clothes. But mid day and end of day, I am less touchy I guess, cause I don't want to change my clothes.
So did you let her just Roam your house if she wasn't in the...
No our dr just gave her antinausea medicine 🫤 but right? At first I felt like it was a stomach bug but then I started thinking about the chickens. They were in the house and just transferred outside recently.
I have a question and maybe it's just me being a clean freak but literally how do some of you let your chickens walk around your house?
I am so curious because I was under the impression that like, touching chickens poop, or the chickens step on their poop and it's all over the place, on my...
