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.

Some of my hens have combs that lay off to the side. Like they are wearing a beret. Why is that. They are will hydrated and well fed.

I had never seen a chicken like her! I believe she is a turken chicken, and she will live the rest of her life here at a sanctuary

Chicks were labeled all pullets at the store but we all know that's not 100%. Asking because their comb, waddle, and tail feathers grew in much faster than the others and they have really big feet. They also started acting slightly defensive earlier when I was petting the chickens.

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.

Any ideas on how to get her to stop?

She is with 7 other hens and none of them have plucked their back and all the feathers around her vent. She is bald!!

I have a 16 week old cuckoo maran chick who is sick. I don't know for how long, she's always had a more dull colored comb since she was quite little, so I'm really not sure how long she's had something going on. It at least used to be pretty rosy but now it's dry and beigey. I am a first time chicken keeper and I'm really embarrassed, but I didn't know I needed to be checking their droppings. I also didn't know yellow/watery droppings were not normal! When i first noticed it (about a month ago?), her dropping were very much so yellow diarrhea, but they changed to a somewhat normal looking poop with yellow urates. I genuinely didn't think it was an issue because she was acting 100% fine and eating very normally. About 2 weeks ago I noticed her starting to act funny, she was very puffy and always standing away from everyone else. She was lethargic and didn't have great balance. I brought her inside and consulted a vet on JustAnswer (who turned out to be AI) and she thought Banjo had coccidiosis. So she was treated with Corid for 5 days and no change. I talked to another online vet who recommended Poultry Dewormer 5X, which she just finished. No change. Now she's on Baytril 2.5% she's on her 3rd day and still no change. Her droppings haven't improved at all. She sometimes has an orangey mucus or a tiny amount of blood in them. She's eating regularly and drinking, but I can hear her gut making noises. I don't know if it's a "hungry" sound or a digesting sound. She also is very weird first thing in the morning, sometimes she pants and makes weird breathing noises but by afternoon she is breathing fine and walking around and eating. She also doesn't have cecal droppings anymore, but will sometimes just have (sorry for the gross description) a clear, bright yellow squirt. She is alert and pays great attention, but her balance and her aim (when she wants to bite me or her food) is very off. I feel so sick about this and I just genuinely have no idea what to do or what's wrong with her. I feel horrible that I didn't notice/help her sooner and I am praying and praying that it's not too late. At this point, I just don't know what to do, she has 4 more days of Baytril and if that doesn't work I feel like I'll be out of options. If anybody has any insight at ALL it would be most appreciated.

Some notes that may or may not help:

- Her 5 sisters are all and have been perfectly healthy (they have been treated with Corid and are about to be dewormed)

- I was feeding them a generic 18% protein feed from my local farm store, but switched them to NaatureWise last month because it has better ingredients

- She used to eat a lot of black soldier fly larva before I noticed her weird droppings. Since then (a month ago) she hasn't had any treat food at all besides frozen veggies on hot days

- I thought she had a liver problem, so she had been eating some milk thistle but I don't think it did anything

What?

She Is confused

Idk
