    Dorking neck movements?

    I have two dorking pullets and I have noticed that they sort of jerk their necks while walking like they have something stuck in their throat, but they don't; is this normal behavior for a dorking?

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'll start giving them some vitamin supplements - let's hope that works!

    HELP! Chickens have snotty noses!

    Thanks for the link, but it does not match my situation at all. I believe these 5 hens must have come with runny noses, meaning they have had it for at least 6 days, and in that time the symptoms have not worsened and it has not spread to any of the other chickens, whom they are in direct...

    HELP! Chickens have snotty noses!

    I noticed yesterday my 5 Lohmann browns have runny noses; I got them on the 15th this month. They are about 12 months old. My 26 other chickens have no symptoms - 5 of these are Australorps who came from the same seller. The seller had vaccinated all of them against newcastle disease. It has...

    Hello, I'm new :)

    Thanks for the suggestions, drumstick diva :) However, I no longer have any problems with predators. That dog has since died, and the livestock guardian dog I have keeps the foxes away. You can see my place here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/free-range-run-and-water-tank-coop

    Free Range Run and Water Tank Coop

    I live on a 40 acre property in QLD, Australia. My chicken 'run' is about 1 acre, and they just free range around, returning to be locked in the coop at night. They are guarded by a maremma sheepdog the whole time. I have never had any attacks on my adult chickens from birds, and foxes have been...

    Hello, I'm new :)

    Hey everyone! I'm a young, hobby farm girl from Queensland, Australia. I used to own over thirty Old English Game Bantams, but a year or so ago a fox got in and wiped out all but one. I call her the Little Black One. After that, I got two Leg Horn hens and two Australorp hens, but my dog got...
