    Very weird stool yesterday…

    We’ve been noticing the chicks pooping with some red in there stool, and it seemed like everything was pointing to shed intestinal lining. The thing is, the poops like that happen almost everyday, and one of our chickens hasn’t grown much compared to the others. A vet friend (in training) of...

    Adding new chickens after your flock may be carrying a disease? What if the disease is likely present in your soil? (Blackhead)

    Hello, Does anyone have experience bringing in new chickens after dealing with disease in your flock? There's lots of advice for how to avoid bringing sick birds into a healthy flock, but what if your girls are the problem? Over the winter I lost three of my six 4-month old pullets to...

    Bird flu prevention

    I know that avian influenza is on the rise right now, and I have a backyard flock of 6 chickens that will be a year old this spring. They have a coop and a moderately sized run, but we let them out once a day to free range (usually with supervision) in our small fenced backyard. This might be a...

    What should I give my chicken

    I have a polish rooster, he is still young but I see he’s having problems. When I check his crop it’s never full and I can feel bits of food but very little. He’s also been sneezing a lot. He still pecks the floor as I feed him from the floor but he’s not actually eating anything. He feels very...

    Hi, I am new here and would appreciate any feedback more experienced chicken folk can give me. I have a red sex link that didn’t seem well four days ago.

    Bantam Cochin with a Sneeze

    Good morning everyone, I bought two young bantam cochins at the Ohio National a few weeks ago. I brought them home, and put them in quarantine. After a day, both had a sneeze and very light gurgling when breathing. I immediately treated them with All-in-One powder, which treats multiple...

    What are these warts?

    Today I noticed these warts on my chicken, she has one on her beak and one on her right or left ear. I did a quick google search and it says it might be fowl pox. I think there are no treatments for fowl pox but vaccines. How can I treat these warts and what even is it? Thanks

    Bumble foot got worse

    My hen got bumble foot a few days ago, I treated both feet, one of them is cured now, but the other one just got worse. I did everything I was told, remove the pus, salt bath, etc. That helped the other foot out, but one of the feet didn’t get better. Instead it got purple. Asked an old lady I...

    Hello! I have had chickens for about 5 years now and I recently added four new chickens to the flock and everything was going fine until about two weeks after we integrated them.

    Hens ears turning white

    I have recently added a few hens to my flock that had white earlobes I didn't think much about it at first and then I started noticing more and more of their ear lobes turning white even my sapphire sky hen. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence and they may be just molting or does it look like...

    Black dots & chapped looking combs on hens

    Hi! First time posting on here. My 20 week Austrawhite was the first hen to exhibit symptoms. She had black spots on her, but I was able to get them off with Vaseline. A week later I noticed a chapped like substance & black dots on her comb. My husband seems to think the spots are dirt and the...

    Coccidiosis or Something Else?

    I have 3YO Barred Rock Hen who is just plain not looking so hot. She is very dull looking compared to his sisters. Her comb and waddles are very pale (her comb is flopping over to side a bit too), she hardly moves. She walks very lamely, only a few feet or so, then just lies there, closing her...

    Is this normal for a turkey?

    My two month old broad breasted turkey has a big, what looks like a growth, on its breast. This is my first time growing turkeys so am I just freaking out over nothing? Simple Google search says it could just be a fatty deposit which is normal, or blisters. I'm just concerned because none of the...

    Adult duck trembling legs, won’t sit

    I have an adult duck (3-4 years old) whose legs are trembling a bit when she walks. I just noticed yesterday and made a note to keep an eye on her, and realized today that I haven’t seen her sit or lie down since then. She’s either walking around or just stands still to rest. Otherwise she seems...
