    Blood in poo? Or intestinal lining shedding?

    Hi! I have six 8-week-old chicks that are still sleeping in the nest box and a big pile (I also have two three and 5-year-old hens that roost and I think they're still too scared to join right now). I have been finding one or two poops each morning in the nest bedding such as one pictured. All...

    Wyandottes/marans

    Oh wow thank you!! And yes I know they're big they spend a lot of time outside- but I have adult mature hens and I'm not ready to introduce them to the flock permanently yet as they are no where near their same size. Next week!

    Wyandottes/marans

    Hello! So I have supposedly 5 week old Gold laced wyandottes. Worried about roos vs hens And also wondering if they are actually that breed? The most gold laced one (last two pics) not only looks and seems younger but also was sold as a copper maran which I'm not believing 🙃... Any...

    Weird egg- never seen before?! (Not lash that I can see)

    I have a young child that often picks up the hens- could this be due to improper handling? Just trying to make sure.

    Weird egg- never seen before?! (Not lash that I can see)

    Hello! My girl's been offer game recently and hasn't laid in quite a few weeks. I found a weird shell in the coop run yesterday... And today this. This is the first time she's laid an actual egg in probably 2 months. The attached stuff is kind of squishy. Anyone seen this? Acting eating and...

    Baby chick butt concern

    Hello! I have raised chicks before but not encounted this problem. I have two chicks whose butts look like this- it's not necessarily pasty butt but it's not looking correct either. They pick at them a lot... Any advice? They are on medicated chickstarter and I might start wetting it...

    Possibly water belly?

    Sadly, my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge a few days after posting this. She picked a cool, beautiful night to go- I know not what exactly happened but she quickly deteriorated to the point she couldn't get up at all, even when she saw me and tried to. I had told her that morning that it...

    Possibly water belly?

    Hello, I have a four year old leghorn named Skittles (she's the sweetest). About a 2 months ago, she stopped laying out if the blue, but was perfectly healthy so I paid no mind...tbh her eggs were always a bit oddly shapen. A month ago she looked like the picture attached - her comb was always...

    Pullet who stopped using one leg

    Thank you all. We had been keeping her warm inside with close food and water, and had been giving her pain meds and extra vitamins like some of y'all mentioned. Unfortunately she just wasn't getting better- even refusing to hop or stand on it. We made the decision to euthanasize at the vet this...

    Pullet who stopped using one leg

    Have you ever seen Marek's where they are still eating and drinking though?

    Pullet who stopped using one leg

    She is not- which is just so weird because if you grab it and move it around she doesn't really react but it's just always just sticking out or if she hops she kind of holds it up. She is about 9 to 12 weeks old. I will say when I got her she was definitely the runt if that makes any sense in...

    Pullet who stopped using one leg

    Hello, I have a young Austrolope pullet who seemingly out of nowhere, got a limp. It progressed to her barely able to stand, and she certainly won't put any weight on it or walk. She hops along fine and eats and drinks, but I saved her from a hawk the other day to to what I assume was her...

    Big hen picking on bantam

    That's the one! And yes- I had thought about moving the waterer already so I will definitely try that. It's just that she so little and so scared- but she certainly never used to be this way! Everyone got along totally fine until about two weeks ago. I just wish I knew what is causing it.

    Big hen picking on bantam

    Here is a picture of the run. I have since taken out the gray boxes you see on the left. Ironically, this was only a few months ago and the two on top of the run are now the bully (the red) and the victim (the little black). As you can tell from the picture the bully and victim are drastically...

    Big hen picking on bantam

    I have five hens who have been together for a year with no issues. One ISA brown, two leghorns and two Japanese bantams. Recently, I noticed one of the leghorns establishing a pecking order it seemed and was packing on one of the bantams. The phantom would just duck and run away but nothing...

    Hen no longer roosting?

    The bantams are one month older- around 10 months. The leghorns and ISA are around 9.

    Hen no longer roosting?

    That's what boggles my mind! They let her eat/drink hang out with her fine. But yes, we can try another roost. Sadly and crazily? I think the bantam (I know it is) is the bully. But the ISA is a bit timid overall so it makes sense.

    Hen no longer roosting?

    I'm afraid she is perhaps lowest, which does shock me as I believe this may have been a recent development. Where she is sleeping is not a nest; she does not remain there except at night. Would a ramp to either roost help her at least get to a roost? IDK if I can manage it but I'll sure try if...
