Hello, my mom has 2 roosters and one hen that are looking for a new home. The hen is laying one egg per day. The roosters get along quite well actually. They free range but in our county chickens are not allowed without a permit and you have to have a minimum of 2 acres which she just found out...
He/she is definitely a bit of a loner from the other 5 but recently had some sort of leg deformity or growing pains (according to the vet) that caused trouble walking so that might be part of it. His/her comb is definitely more pink than the others but it was a hatchery mix up so I’m still...
I got this bird as a replacement for one dying at a feed store. On the outside, there were two labels, Sapphire Splash or Easter Egger but the inside label had “Blue Bell” written in marker over the barrel. It was much bigger than my other chicks, but I wanted a variety flock so I picked this...
After keeping one chick for three months, we mistook it for a hen. It had a hen's (a female chicken's) exact appearance.And it crowed yesterday.We had to butcher it since crowing hens are seen as a terrible omen in Nepal. When we were cleaning it, we discovered that it had two testicles.Our...
My chicken s'mores was brooding when I'm assuming her egg got crushed by something because there is eggshells and egg yolk stuck to her fur and feathers that won't detach, help to remove it?
Hey there!
So I have a couple Olive Eggers and a couple Barred Rocks and for some reason one of my Olive Eggers will not lay an egg one day and then lay two eggs the next day. She’s been pretty consistent the past week with skipping and then laying double. They will soon be one and this is...
Hello everyone,
My 3 year and 4 month old leghorn hen has just been experiencing a hard/solid crop and is repeatedly adjusting her crop (even when she is roosting/sleeping). She is still acting perfectly fine, eating/drinking normally and is active. I'm not so sure about how her poop looks like...

My sapphire, Jim, Dorothy Dandridge did not lay an egg yesterday or the day before that today she lay two eggs, one soft and Broken, and one really rough! Both of them the coloring was completely off from her normal beautiful brown! Can anyone tell me why they think this happened? The egg on...
I was at my sisters house for the weekend and I took my chickens with me because I have no one to take care of them. But the thing is my sister lives in a area with lots of trees and dirt so there is a lot of bugs. We we’re getting all our things to go back home and went to get my chickens when...

Hello! I have an acre and a coop with 15 young chickens that are not laying yet. We recently lost 8 due to a predator attack so now would actually be a good time to introduce new ones. Can also take Turkeys and Peacocks If anyone needs to rehome them, I live in Littleton and would be happy to...

Hello everyone,
I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...
I have a beautiful black hen with spots on her chest. I named her Emerald. She lays light brown eggs as far as I know, and she came from a home with a very small coop with a tiny run, but I don’t know what she is!! All guesses are welcome!
A few days ago I posted about my hen who had a prolapse vent. Mrs duck had a bad prolapse that I healed enough to put her back in with the others the week before. Well a week later, it happened again but worse. There was an egg stuck. I spent 4 hours trying to help her get the egg out. Baths...
5 months old has laid twice but none the last three days. This morning noticed very thirsty, eating, preening and moving around like normal but drinking a lot of water. When I picked her up a clear liquid fell from beneath her, like a short stream. Her crop feels like water and small amount of...
