Hello all, this rooster has been noticeably shaking his head and breathing with his mouth open every few breaths noticeably since last night. We opened up his beak and he’s got this whiteish/flesh colored lump on the roof/right side of his mouth. His breath smells off too. but he’s drinking and...

Hello! This is probably not the right category at all, I’ve been known to put threads in the wrong spot quite a bit in the past lol. but this is not an emergency situation so I didn’t know where to put it. Long story short I have a Mille fleur hen named Dolly who is around 2-3 years old. Dolly...

Hello all! I’ve been looking around and I’m still uncertain so I thought I’d just ask. A month or two ago I had a full grown Mille fluer d’Uccle hen with an eye that looked sort of puffy, no discharge from anywhere. and she couldn’t see out if it. Anything moving on that side of her head (our...

I Was having trouble finding a thread or even a google search result about this, why don’t my chickens enjoy eating the fuzzy caterpillars? ( you know, the basic white ones with the black ) they are everywhere around here and my chickens that pretty much eat anything that holds still long enough...

I’ve seen it mentioned here and there across this site but haven’t found a thread for it yet (my apologies if there is already one ) but I’m curious how many people here are a member of the ABA or APA, or breed towards the standard? I’d love to hear about what breeds or varieties you work with...

I’ve got a hen who is older. Between two and a half or three years and a Blue d’Uccle. She molts all the time!!!!! Is this normal in older chickens? I think she’s molted twice since I bought her from a breeder in January and she was coming out of a molt even then! She is at the bottom of the...

I’m sorry you had such a negative experience with them.:hugs Online hatching eggs are usually a hit or miss, and shipped eggs don’t tend to hatch great anyways. You might be better off buying more local:)

Hello, I have a bantam NH red cockerel who will be a rooster in a couple months(so he’s pretty much full grown) and he’s been rather melancholy and listless since Friday night. This morning I went down to the coop and found him in the same condition but now he has foamy eyes. His breathing seems...

I have a porcelain d’Uccle hen who has plugged nostrils. She’s had them for quite a bit, maybe since the beginning of winter? But she’s had them before and they went away on their own. This time they aren’t going away however, and now she seems to be having negative effects from it. She’s...

My mother has a cockerel named Marty who is very sweet but the top of his head is completely bald save for a few (quite pitiful:p) mini head feathers. My first thought was that he was getting all of them picked out but he’s the alpha.. and never has any pin feathers whatsoever growing in..I’ve...

Our eggs were due on Monday and my mother just opened up the incubator to put them in lockdown and we have one externally pipped already. Our incubator isn’t the greatest quality so the temp may be a bit high, hence the early hatch...did opening the incubator for that short amount of time screw...

Hello! My mom and I are incubating eggs on a staggered hatch, the first two eggs go into lockdown on Friday and then another two go into lockdown when the first two are due to hatch. Yes I know..not a great plan:hmm but we couldn’t wait to pop them in the bator... Since we don’t have another...
