Thank you! Yeah she gets a little dirty and definitely does not like the rain. She isn't as waterproof as the others. We are in Utah so the winter has been a bit more dirty for her. This is only my first year with chickens. I only have 3 and everyone gets along just fine. I wouldn't say she was...

We got Raider from a local farm as a barnyard mix, but my other two were from mypetchicken. The other one is a Salmon Faverolle. She is hilarious!

I got her from a farm as a barnyard mix, I just love her personality so much that I wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were, but it sounds like it is unknown.

Yes she is! She is the sweetest girl ever and so heavy compared to the other two. Her egg is the darker of the brown eggs, but I'm not entirely sure the other egg is not hers too, they seem to be getting darker as she goes. She only started laying a week or so ago she is 7 months old.

This is my favorite hen Raider. I am trying to figure out what she is mixed with. Any ideas? The bottoms of her feet are yellow and she has yellow skin, Bit her legs are slate colored. I'm not sure what kind of comb she has but I would say it is a rose comb. She is independent, but super...

The tan colored bit is a wood shaving.

She is not much better today. Her poop is dark green, white, and clear. There does not appear to be any worms. I am going to try Corid now. I had to buy some so it took a bit to get it.

County Companion pro-egg layer. With 21% protein and IFA layer blend treats. Occasionally we will give them pasta or left over veggies.

I have just been trying to get her to eat. I'm not sure if she is doing better, but she is not doing worse. It is going slower than I would like. She did eat quite a bit of egg today and some crumbled chicken feed.

She seems to be doing a bit better each day. She is eating a tad more and her poops are getting bigger and more solid. I still have her inside but I have been taking her outside in the day when the temperature is not too cold and letting her scratch for treats with her coopmates.

Thank you so much for your reply and thoughts I appreciate your help. Not many people care about chickens as pets so there is not a lot of help out there. They are expendable to most people, but not toe. I didn't know I would love them so much.

I just offered her some spaghetti noodles and she is eating!!!! Oregano oil on the feet seems to be a huge help.

I just went to check on her and she tried to peck my teeth out so maybe she is on the mend!!! Here is her most recent poop. It looks and smells a lot better.

Thank you! She is 6 months old and not laying yet. I'm not so sure it is worms. I have not seen any yet. Her poop is watery and black and smells terrible, like when a dog has parvo. So I'm thinking it is blood or something. I bought different feed and now I'm wondering if that made her sick and...
