    Sick hen. Sarcina Spp. Any ideas?

    I noticed yesterday one of my hens was lethargic and not really eating. I assumed coccidiosis or worms and began treating accordingly. I took what may have been a sample of her poop (could have been somebody else’s) and ran it under a microscope to find what appears to be a bacteria called...

    Chicken Suddenly Died….

    I wasn’t going to post about this but it’s been bugging me. 5 days ago I noticed one of our Jersey Giant pullets (18 weeks old) seemed sick. She wasn’t doing anything except laying in the corner of the run all day. Every once in a while she’d eat and drink and when let out to free range, she...

    Chicken not growing properly??

    I have two Jersey Giants pullets, both are the same age, 18 weeks old. Purchased at the same time from the same place. One is thriving and one is not. The smaller one, Gertie, has struggled with illness in the past but is healthy now. She’s just not growing. Since her illness, we have monitored...

    Is this heat stroke?

    Does this sound like it could be heat stroke or something else? I have a salmon faverolle I noticed was swaying while standing still, falling over backwards and to the sides, stumbling while walking, and tilting her head down and up in a strange manor. She seems very unbalanced but there are no...

    Mixing Grower and Layer Feed Together?

    Hi there! Last week upon running out of chicken feed, my husband made a quick trip to the store and bought the only feed they had, layer feed. I only have 2 layers. The rest are still young and on grower. Anyway, I had no choice but to feed the layer feed to everyone until we were able to get...

    Here We Go Again. Bloody Stool!

    After battling coccidiosis and worms for a few weeks, losing 1 chick and almost losing another, but thinking it was now under control, I have a hen who is pooping nothing but blood. She has had one dose of dewormer (fenbendazole), second dose due tomorrow. We’ve treated for Cocci with...

    Hen’s Breed?

    I got this hen, Gretchen, about a month ago. She is almost 11 months old. We were told she’s a Jersey Giant. But she doesn’t look like our other two Jersey’s that we’ve raised from 3 days old. Gretchen is brown instead of black like my other two. She’s now smaller than my Cochin rooster who is 4...

    Young Rooster Always Laying Down

    I just wanted to see if anyone else’s rooster does this, if it’s just his personality, or if there’s a potential problem with him. He is an SOP Standard Cochin, 14 weeks old. He is from a local breeder. He has done this since I got him at 8 weeks old. He’s a VERY calm rooster. If he didn’t look...

    Hen Attacking Other In Nest Box

    I don’t know if there’s much of a solution to this but I thought I’d give it a try. I recently brought home a new hen (Bernie). My other hen (Gretchen) HATES it when Bernie goes in the coop. Day one of Bernie trying to lay an egg, Gretchen immediately went in after her. She got on top of Bernie...

    Coccidiosis! Corid Isn’t Working!

    I have an 8 week old Jersey Giant that has been dealing with coccidiosis for weeks. Confirmed by doing fecal float. She’s been on Corid for 10 days, 2 of those days my husband did the wrong dose so she didn’t get enough in the water, so we added a few extra days to make up for it. We also did...

    Corid Alternative?

    I have a chick that has been dealing with Coccidiosis for over a week. We did Corid in the water for 7 days. She’s better but not 100%. She’s still puffed up and looking a little uncomfortable. I looked at her droppings under a microscope so I know coccidia was the problem. There was a LOT. What...

    What Color is My Cochin?

    Hi there! I have a hatchery quality Cochin and I just wanted to see what color you guys think she is. Splash, Mottled or just “leakage”? She’s kind of blue, kind of white. Her brother was lavender/self blue and another brother was splash with only a few colored feathers. Thanks in advance!

    Wyandotte Gender?

    Hello! I’m new to Wyandottes and I only have 1. This one is almost 5 weeks old. Supposed to be a pullet but I have no idea. I just watched some very “rooster” behavior come out of her. The wattles scare me too. If she is a roo, she’s gotta go. Tell me it’s not so lol!

    Boy or girl? Jersey Giant!

    I have these two Jerseys I got from TSC. Im unsure of their age because they had quite a few feathers when we bought them. Based on when they come in at the store they’d only be 3, almost 4 weeks old, but knowing how chickens feather, they’d be closer to 5, almost 6, meaning they were still...

    Coccidiosis? Or something else?

    I have a 6 week old Cochin that has been walking around hunched up. He’s not quite fully feathered and I had him outside when it was warm and brought him inside when it got cold. I noticed he was hunched 2 nights ago outside and assumed he was cold so I brought him in. But he was still hunched...

    Pullet or Rooster?

    This buff Cochin was looking like a pullet but is now starting to scare me a little with “her” red appearance. She is just over 4 weeks old. Her wattles are still white but her comb has grown and reddened substantially in the last week. Im still leaning towards pullet but compared to the pullet...

    Stumped by a Cochin!

    I have these Cochin chicks that are almost 3 weeks old. I used to pride myself in knowing genders from 2-3 weeks, but it’s been a while. Years since I’ve owned chickens. So this “guy”, a splash cochin, is really making me question everything. Here it is as opposed to its male and female...

    Sebright Genders?

    We have these two Sebrights and we're thinking 1 hen and 1 roosters. They are 5 weeks old. Any thoughts? The first is the one we think is a hen. 2nd is the rooster.

    6 week old chick temperatures?!

    So I moved my 6 of my chicks outside 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago since it's been warm. I put their heater out with them so they wouldn't be cold at night. Everything's been fine until now. Inside, chaos has begun. I have nine 3-week old chicks and one is a very aggressive Silver Sebright rooster. Today...

    Cochins. Roosters or hens?

    I have six 4 week old Cochins. I know one is definitely a rooster which I've pictured first. The second I'm thinking rooster as well but not 100% sure. The third and fourth I think are hens. Pullets, if you want to get technical. But the last two, in not sure but leaning towards hens as well...
