My 3 year old hen picked up this terrible habit of immediately eating her egg after she’s laid it. Not only do I not have many eggs now because of her it’s also concerning because I’d like to monitor her egg health as she’s getting older. I’ve tried fake eggs and that hasn’t worked because she’s...

I just wanted to make a tribute post to my beautiful baby Kerropi. I could not have asked for a better chicken and she loved me as much as I loved her. Every Halloween we went trick or treating and every day we’d go together to the bus stop to pick up my sister. Words cannot express how having...

After getting my first chickens at 16 I didn’t know how bad later year health problems were. I’m 19 now and my chickens are old and having issues because of their breed (reproductive issues) and it hurts to see them this way and I never want to go through this again honestly When I decide to...

My 3 year old hen recently went to the vet for reproductive issues. She had swelling in her abdomen which was drained and she seemed in much better spirits. So much better that she finally ate after 2 months of not eating much at all. However I noticed that two days after her drainage she was...

My hen has suffered from this condition and recently went to the vet. She was drained and seems a lot happier and was prescribed an anti inflammatory for the rest of her life, along with her sisters when they eventually retire. However, my vet suggested our hens take two tums a day (2000mg) to...

I love my 1 year old baby boy silkie but this week he has been crowing like crazyyy! He usually only crows for 30 minutes in the morning and doesn’t crow any more but I think with the warm weather he never shuts up. My only concern is I have new neighbors that I rather not disturb and I usually...

My chicken has previously struggled with sour crop but now suddenly after she’s gotten better for the last month I noticed she’s been a little lethargic. Now she is quite lethargic and eating very little unless it’s snacks. Here are her symptoms: -Runny droppings -Poopy butt -Pale comb...

Not sure if this is the right forum and I know there is a lot of controversy on indoor chickens but let me start with that I’m not looking for opinions and I keep partial indoor outdoor bantams and I’m just looking for some coop ideas for when they sleep indoors! :) Anyone out there with an...

My 3 year old hen I suspect has sour crop and has lost most of her appetite and I’m struggling to hide medicine in food she’s not willing to eat. I’m giving her liquid vaginal yeast medication and it’s incredibly hard to give it to her straight but she’s not accepting it in food anymore. Besides...

I’ve discovered my 3 year old hen vomited brown liquid when I gently pressed on her crop this morning to see if she had eaten anything because she seemed super uninterested in food. She definitely has sour crop and NO impaction. But when she throws up there’s bits of grass and scratch… Any...

my 3 year old hen was acting strange and laying in the coop door which she hasn’t done since she was a baby and she didn’t even run when I brought food. I picked her up and just gently squeezed her crop to see if she’d eaten something and she ended up vomiting water twice from me just gently...

what do you guys use for amoxicillin for your chickens? I’m having a hard time finding any amoxicillin for pets without a prescription. I’ve seen some people use fish amoxicillin, is that safe?

I’ve had this roo for almost a year now, he’s a silkies, he mounts things and is very wimpy haha and loves to cuddle but he doesn’t crow like at all. His brother who is the exact same age crows like crazy but I have never even heard my other baby make a peep. I’ve heard it’s possible for males...

My 2 year old bantam hen seemed weird tonight and she kept squatting trying to poop and she seems extremely uncomfortable. I checked her vent and it looked a bit red and like there was feces trying to come out but couldn’t. I’m extremely worried, is it egg bound or possible prolapse vent? Is it...

My silkie has the absolute hardest time seeing because of his bigggg hair poof! He has trouble aiming and whenever I give him treats it takes him a couple tries just to get it. What’s the best way to trim his hair without poking him in the eye with a pair of scissors :th Hate to see the poof...

Heres my baby Tofu who I just adore! I never thought I’d have a rooster but I always wanted one and he loves to sit on couches and eat grapes with his sister ☺️

We all know winter is a bore for gardeners because there really isn’t much we can do! But is anyone else out there a fan of indoor plants! I absolutely adore tropical indoor plants and have been keeping them since middle school and it’s rewarding still seeing growth even when it’s cold I love...

Looking for some ducks for sale around the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake area! Trying to find a new mate for my special needs duck and preferably looking for ducks who are already well socialized and easy to handle. Let me know if anyone out there is selling ducks!!

this sounds a bit silly but can a chicken provide temporary company for a duck who lost his mate? I’ve only ever had two ducks and way more chickens and I noticed my bantam has been cuddling with him at night. I’ve been worried about him being alone and been keeping a realistic stuffed animal...

My duck was severely disabled because of an animal attack almost two years ago. He’s been fine up until this winter were he 1. Can’t swim everyday anymore and 2. Lost his mate to a dog attack He seems bored and depressed and I’m struggling to come up with ideas to keep him entertained for the...
