    6 week old chick behavior

    I have taken in a 6 week old Easter egger. Her behavior is baffling me. She is constantly cheeping. The only time she stops is when I'm holding her. She always has her tail feathers down. She is always running under my two other chicks and hiding near or underneath them. They tolerate her...

    Pulling out chest, neck, and wing feathers

    I have a hen (my first hen, so I'm not sure of a lot with her) she's a reasonably new addition. She was being picked on badly by her old flock and I took her to heal. She gets along well with my boys and I kept her. She was missing lots of feathers from the picking when she first got here, so...

    Hen acting odd and suddenly puffs out and drops on to her side. Completely fine after a few seconds.

    I am taking care of a hen that was being picked on by her flock, I think she is around 1 or 2. She appears to be very healthy, she lays eggs frequently, her comb is bright red, her vent looks good, her legs and feet look good, her feathers look good. She has behaved normally up to this point...

    Odd wing feather development

    We have a baby Polish, and she is growing in her wing feathers in an odd way. We've raised nine other babies (though not Polish) and never seen this before, so I am wondering if anyone else has an idea if this is normal, or odd, and if anything needs to be done to help her out. Maye there is a...

    Very pale egg

    Hi there! I have 4 Rhode Island Red hens who typically lay brown eggs, but for two days in a row, I’ve gotten one strangely pale egg that is a pinkish white colour. I don’t think this is normal and am worried for my girls... all of the other eggs are normal and fine, and I’ve never had anything...

    7 yr Sussex hen breathes fast as she sleeps

    I noticed a bit over a week ago that my almost 7 year old Sussex hen (she will be 7 on 3/14) is breathing fast when she sleeps. I've been trying to diagnose the problem and provide treatment but I've had no avail. Read carefully as this isn't the normal "hen has labored breathing" case. Her...

    What does this noise mean?

    I was relaxing on my couch with my chicken, but then she started making an odd noise. The noise was reminiscent of a bubble sound effect mixed with a helicopter. I searched everywhere but I could not find it. My hen, Beowulf (Beo for short) is a rescue who used to be beaten and was half starved...

    Strange 3 Month Old Chicken Behaviour

    So, there is this odd thing my chickens do that confuses the heck out of me but also cracks me up. Two of the chicks, seemingly at random, will suddenly start flapping and then running to one-another with their feathers all ruffled and neck feathers up as if they are about to have the biggest...
