Refer to video. Any clue what might be causing this? She’s eating fine, drinking water, bossing around the other chickens, and laying. I looked down her throat with a flashlight and didn’t see anything. Her breath smells fine and her crop has been emptying like normal. Her poop looks normal too.

So definitely a ground animal? I forgot to mention I have two goats in the field with the chickens. The chickens tend to hang around them.

So, as so many stories go, I went down to put my chickens away this evening and noticed I was off by one. My loud squawky Ameraucana "Turkey Chicken" was missing. She was an olive egger. I looked around and found a mess of feathers and part of a wing under our Eucalyptus tree/bush. It's a...

I went ahead and drained her abdomen today. I used both alcohol and iodine to sterilize. I was able to draw about 60cc before I stopped. The color was very brown. Any ideas what that might indicate? She's eating and walking around. I'm keeping her in a pet carrier overnight. I looked online but...

Before I ask my question, here is a quick rundown of our run and coop: 24x24 horse corral cut in half (PVC framed wall). Entire thing is ground to ceiling chicken wire over 2x4 mesh. All covered by a corrugated steel roof. We essentially converted a horse stall into a chicken run. We also...

Hello! I have 5 chickens in a 24x12 coop. It is fully covered by a galvanized steel roof. The height is probably close to 15 feet tall, if not a little bigger. Inside the coop is a nesting box. It was on the property when we bought it so we just cleaned it up. It's one of those cedar style...
