    Purple comb and hen not eating

    It's true. With chickens, often times tragedy will strike. But also miracles can happen. Know that it's not your fault, and there's really no more you could do other than continue to care for and keep your flock healthy.

    I'd also appreciate some input on the sardines if anyone has anything to bring to the table!

    Is she drinking water? Make sure she is getting enough fluids in her.

    Teeny bantam struggling when laying

    I have a bantam who's always been much tinier than my other banties and on the weaker side in terms of balance. She's been laying for a few months now and her eggs are very small and she has difficulty laying them. I know she's still just starting her laying, but twice now she grew suddenly...

    Topic of the week - Dustbathing

    My runs are pretty much just dry dirt. My flock can bathe and scratch to their hearts' delight. As for babies, since I raise them indoors, I take them out on daily field trips to my succulent garden (if the weather is fair and after newly hatched ones have had a few days to acclimate to the...

    NEED HELP! MY HEN IS ACTING UNUSUAL UPDATE!!

    Yeah, I had a hen that was limping one day and perfectly fine the next. Scrambled eggs are always a good idea. You can mix and add herbs in with them too. Is she still laying eggs?

    NEED HELP! MY HEN IS ACTING UNUSUAL UPDATE!!

    She looks fairly alert and bright in the face, so she shouldn't be too worse off, but not sure what's wrong myself. You can try giving her an epsom salt soak. It might help soothe her legs if there is an injury. Do you know this hen's history/where you got her from? It's not easy when one of...

    Amoxicillin for my hen with a reproductive infection - please help!!!

    I have a Americana/Silkie hen currently struggling with what looks like a reproductive infection. She's around two years old, and hasn't laid for months. I'd been giving her daily calcium citrate+D3 but that didn't seem to help. She is now acting slow and lethargic and won't even eat scrambled...

    They're just too cute to keep to myself

    My luck as well, I got a batch of chicks once and the friendliest one in the bunch (would fly onto your lap, snuggle into your hand, etc.) turned out to be a roo. 🤣 I already had a rooster so I had to rehome; still loved that boy to pieces though. How many eggs do you get a day from them? Are...

    :lau So relatable!!! They are too precious!!! Thanks for the baby chick fix! Those are all great breeds, all lay lots of eggs. Orpingtons are a favorite of mine! Are these your first or new additions to your existing flock?
