    Lump on back of chicks neck/head

    Hello! I'm suspecting that this is a cluster of ingrown feathers, but looking for some confirmation from the more veteran chicken owners. The chick is a Speckled Sussex that's ~20 days old.

    Is this ingrown feathers or scaly leg mite?

    Hello, I have 4 chickens in my flock. One of my chickens is a black Copper Marans with feathers of her legs. A week ago I noticed her legs had a bit of what looked like maybe ingrown feathers, but now I’m paranoid it might be the start of mites. Can anyone tell me if these pictures look like...

    Hen has abscess(?) on side under wing

    Hello, We we were checking in on our hens yesterday, and noticed this gash/abscess/sore on our lovely lady. There was never any evidence of blood, so I suspect it comes from the inside out but am not entirely sure how to proceed. She does not appear to be in any pain and is exhibiting no other...

    Ascites In Backyard Chickens

    Yesterday was the day I had been dreading for some time. It was the day Butter let me know she was ready, even though I wasn’t.

    Possibly An Internal Layer *GRAPHIC PICS*

    I have been putting off asking about my 3 yo BO hen, Butter, but I have finally gotten up the courage and am ready to hear the truth. Late last summer I noticed her abdomen was larger and harder than normal. About this same time I believe she stopped laying. During and after molting, the...
