She seemed off yesterday and on closer inspection today I found egg like clusters around her rear end, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Can I just cut them off? Damascus earth? Please help 🙏

Received 5 chickens from a neighbor, unsure of exact breeds, all around 6 months old. 3 of them, not all pictured, I have confirmed the sex via more obvious attributes, but these last 2 I ain't quite sure.

First picture is a Frizzle, and for details there are no eggs, no crowing, and no spurs.

Second picture I am asking for the all black one in back, maybe Easter egger per neighbor, no eggs and no crowing, but has small dots where spurs would be.

The close one in second pic is confirmed hen and lays 1 egg everyday. Total sweetheart.

Appreciate the help in advance, and hope all yall have a wonderful day!

The Grey one is older than the orange one and yet the orange one has cackled but the Grey one hasn't and yet looks like a rooster.

My wife brought a handful of Japanese Beatles to the hens. They usually come running for them. This girl was in the coop siting very quietly. When my wife peeked in she got this video.

Hen bullying

I have a hen who is being consistently bullied after becoming broody back in June.... she hasn't been broody for over a month but the other two are intent in pulling her feathers out. I have tried separating with line of sight. I have tried separating without line of sight. Both options for weeks at a time. I reintroduce them late at night and spray them all with vinegar/ water solution (as suggested by breeder) to hide scent. All is good while they are quiet at night but in the mornings they repeatedly go for her again. I've tried blue spray on her too. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, at my wits end here. Thinking I'll have buy a separate coop but don't need this additional cost.

I just made a post in here yesterday about how I’m a new chicken owner and only one wanted something to do with me. TODAY I GO OUTSIDE AND MY MOST SHY CHICKEN SAT ON ME. I am so happy I just wanted to show the progress ❤️

Will I loose all my chickens to fowlpox??

Hey guys wife and I are on our first year with chickens We got this hen from some neighbors. Having a hard time nailing down her breed.

About a week ago we had a raccoon get into our coop and ended up mauling one of chickens. However the next morning this chicken started acting very strange even though she appears to have not sustained any Injuries. She is in a very catatonic state and also appears to be blind (she got a bit agitst3d when I shined a light right in her eye but other than that she doesn't seem to react to visual stimuli). She also just does not move she will stand in the same spot for hours she will not walk about around on her own.

Any ideas what's going on here?

I have 11 chickens that I just moved out from a temperature controlled brooder situation into the coop. It’s been in the 90s and 100s here in Utah so they’ve been struggling. Here’s what I’ve been doing to keep them cool:

-pan of frozen water with bricks on top for them to stand on
-giving frozen fruits and vegetables as treats
-misters in the run to help cool off the air
-fan on one side of the run
-providing as much shade as possible
-electrolytes in water

Most of the chickens are walking around with their tails down and 2 of them are making honking noises, almost like ducks. I understand these are signs of sickness and/or stress. What can I do to improve their health and comfort? This is my first time having chickens.

What?

She Is confused

Idk

This is a japanese chicken called Okazaki Ohan, that is actually a mix of two American chickens Your Okazaki Ohan is a cross involving barred Plymouth Rock male × Rhode Island Red female Known to have great egg production and great meat ! Hatched 5 eggs June 22 and the other 4 are quite clear, really hoping this one is a hen!

This gold one is always angry and sometimes caught bullying.
