I have this Americana mix that was injured in a fight between a bit bigger but same age hen. Now her jaw acts broken. It makes a crunchy sound and it's out of alignment as well as bleeding at the tip of the top beak.
What can I do for her? Will she be able to eat and live like this or do I have...
Today is my day to take care of dinner and I need to figure out what I'm cooking tonight.
I have the choices of Chicken breasts or Tenderloins to thaw.
It's currently 6am at the time of posting this so I have plenty of time to thaw whatever I'm cooking.
Whatever you share can be spicy as I've...

I have a chicken coop that has a tunnel that connects to their chicken run. My chickens are pretty much at the end of their molt season but some still are molting. I noticed a mouse that ran through their chicken run about a few weeks ago. There was a blue plastic kiddie pool i used for the...
Does anyone have any idea what breed of chicken this pullet is.
I bought her as a chick and was told she was a BBW turkey.
However she definitely is not, so I was wondering what type of chicken she is.
(This is my first post on here, sorry if it's long)
So about 8 weeks ago me and my dad bought a broad breasted turkey from Family Farm and Home because it was the only one there and the lady working there reeeealy wanted someone to take it. So we got it for 50 cents. But uh fast forward 8ish...
Hey BYC, I'm new here.
We rescued 7 ex-commercial hens in March and have been delighted by how they've thrived here with us, but today we lost our first one in a way I can't figure out.
They free range in our front & back garden. Today towards the end of the day we found a hen dead on the...
Hello, I am a relatively new (about 2.5 months) keeper of 3 rescue battery hens (Frenchie, Dolly and Ginger) . Unfortunately, Frenchie suffered a minor sprain to her foot a few weeks ago. We have kept her separated in a dog crate that is elevated and out of the way of the other two, but they...
1) Whitings True Blue, 7 months old, 3lbs
2) Behavior: Heavy panting and standing with wings away from body and droopy tail, less active than normal, possible fever? She makes strained/pain noises when defecating. It's not hot here right now, so panting is abnormal. Also has bumblefoot, which I...

I have a bird from a small flock of 4 that hasn't been added to the big flock yet because one of their ranks got torn up by the others. It's not the first time something like this has happened in my decade of raising chickens so getting her back up and healed was nnot an issue and she recovered...
This is Pickles, my 13-week-old bantam rooster. I raised him from a chick, and he’s been well cared for with lots of love. Unfortunately, he and my established rooster are not getting along, and my hens have made it clear they won’t accept him. For his safety and happiness, Pickles needs a new...
I’m not sure why. And I’m not sure how to fix it. I have a blue sapphire hen who’s around a year old. She’s not aggressive to any other birds, animals, or people. She just for some reason hates my younger dog. Both my dogs leave the chickens alone and she doesn’t have a problem with my older dog...
Hello all, I am new to this website as well as raising chickens. Recently we got a chicken from a friend (about a month ago) and she seems to be the only one sick in my coop. I previously had cedar shavings in the coop that I switched to pine due to advice from tractor supply. My chicken has...
Hi everyone, I’d like help to identify one of my 17 week old chickens. She’s a girl so I’d just like help with the breed, I know all my chickens breed for a fact but not her. Thank you
If personality traits help: she’s very friendly, the friendliest and very docile but very sassy and vocal
My white Leghorn who is just over a year has been limping. She recently came home with another one of my hens, who is fine, and when we got home she started limping and not walking very much, just laying down and using her wing to help prop her up. We have about a 15 min car ride and I’m not...
