One of my hens (about 3-4 years old) is huddled up and does not (or can’t) walk. I placed her separately from the rest and I couldn’t seem to feel anything indicating she is egg bound. It does seem like she is trying to pass something though….. any thoughts on what this might be or how I may be...

Hello! I have two pullets that I have the slightest of doubts might not be pullets. This is mostly due to them having larger and redder combs+waddles then their siblings. The first is a 13 week old Rhode Island Blue. She seemed to have all of a sudden sprouted a bright red comb! I have another...

Hello! I wanted to hear some thoughts on my ~14 week old Rhode Island Blue pullet. Some information about her that I think may be important to know: she has always been the fiestest even up until a couple of days ago. You touch her? She’s peck at you to go away. She’s not timid, but she...

Hello! I have a ~3 year old Delaware hen that has had no feathers on her butt for quite a while. At first I was not concerned as I had felt her for egg bounding and assumed it was her molt. Now, I am getting slightly concerned as it has been quite a while of this. I’ll attach a picture. Could...

Hello! I have been noticing some runny poop in my 11-13 week old pullets and wanted opinions on if I should be concerned. They are all acting normal and eating/drinking, but if their poop does in fact look concerning I want to be sure to catch it early. I am a bit paranoid as I have had...

Hello, So I’m not quite sure how to fix this as I’ve never dealt with a chicken this mean to other chickens before. A little background, I am currently raising 16 chicks to add to my current flock. These chicks range from 11-13 weeks old and are being kept in my barn until I integrate them with...

So I have three (hopefully) female buff brahmas that just turned 12 weeks old. They have always varied in size slightly, one being the bulkiest, one I would consider an average size, and one that has always been so small. She is active and keeps up with the others. It also seems that she...

Hello! I have one buff Brahma that I’m pretty certain is a pullet, but figured I would throw it out there for more opinions just in case. The one I’m somewhattt questioning is labeled “1”. I also attached pictures of my two other buff brahmas for comparison. They are all 12 weeks old. The...

So I have three (hopefully) female buff brahmas about to turn 12 weeks old. They have always varied in size slightly, one being the bulkiest, one I would consider an average size, and one that has always been so small. She is active and keeps up with the others. It also seems that she feathered...

I have an Olive Egger that I can’t quite determine whether she is a Rooster or a Hen. She is about 13 weeks old now, and I keep going back and forth. I used to be fairly confident that I had a roo due to her behavior and feathering, but now I’m not sure again. Any opinions would be helpful!!

Hello, I have noticed that I have two hens that seem to be starting to show some sort of sickness. One is 8 years old and seems to be having trouble breathing. I hear a rasp come from her, but otherwise, she has been acting normal. Could this just be her old age, or perhaps a respiratory issue...
