    Is this Coccidiosis?

    Hey y'all, My 2 year old Rhode Island Red, Patsy, is under the weather. She is usually high energy but today she's lethargic (to the point of falling asleep standing up), isolating herself, feathers looking rough near the tail feathers, and white and green liquid poop. I haven't seen her drink...

    Not sure what to call this

    either started bleeding or had never stopped. We held pressure until it stopped and cleaned it. I'm not sure about air but there is something causing it to feel raised. Unfortunately it's already smells which concerns me. Taking her into the vet in the morning just to be on the safe side.

    Not sure what to call this

    Hi! Just out with my chickens when I noticed a bulge on my chicken's back. Further inspection under the feathers and I found this clump? Not sure what to make of it. She's letting me touch it and she's not acting out of character. Anyone know what I'm dealing with? Thanks!

    Wildfire Smoke and Chickens

    Hello! I'm in the mountains of Colorado where we are currently having horrible smoke from surrounding wildfires. I've noticed its effect on my husband and I and I'm worried about the chickens breathing it in all day. Has anyone had to deal with this and done anything to help your chickens? Or...

    Anything to be concerned about?

    I didn't even notice the eyes! But you're completely right. I'll look into that. Her sister died from a respiratory illness at a few weeks old so it wouldn't surprise me. They are meek! This is my first experience with this breed. We love her anyway though. Thanks for the advice!

    Anything to be concerned about?

    Hi y'all, My one year old Salmon Favorelle has been looking kind of rough lately. She is acting completely normal and still laying eggs daily. However, she seems to have a bald patch under/near her beak. I also have noticed black spots on her skin as well. I thought they were just dirt (She...

    Hoarse Chicken

    Added a video! It's obvious who is the worst. The cuckoo Maran (black and white) also seems to have a pale comb compared to the others. But I'm new to all of this so unsure. I would love your opinion thanks!!

    Hoarse Chicken

    Hi! I've been looking through old threads hoping to answer my question with no luck. So I'm posting a new thread. I have a flock of 5 pullets all around 8 weeks old. About 3 of them are sounding hoarse. No obvious wheezing or breathing issues. Just their voices are sounding hoarse. I thought...

    Cyst?

    Hello! My Rhode Island Red is about 7 weeks old and today I noticed a yellow pimple like mound on the back of her tail end under the feathers. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it and only picked around it while she was doing her usual cleaning. Online it seems to be a follicle cyst and makes...

    How to Raise Healthy Chicks

    Hi! So my partner and I started out with 7 chicks that we picked up from a local feed store 16 days ago. Unfortunately we had one die of unknown causes the first week and another die after two weeks from what seemed like brooder pneumonia. I know that it's common to lose a few chicks in the...

    New to the crew!

    Hello! I have always wanted to raise chickens since I was a kid and saw all the 4-H kids doing it. I'm finally living my dream at 28! We have a group of 5 baby chicks that we picked up at a local feed store and are going on week 3 with them. I apologize in advance for any spelling errors but...
