4 or 5 months. Chicken layer with the rest of the girls. No I haven't (how do I check and treat) we have only had chickens for a year. Nothing has changed with feed consumption. I have noticed it's just the ones that I hatched 4 or 5 months ago non of the others. They seem fat and go around the...

We've had three chickens this week die. Seem fine then I find them laying lifeless in the coop or flopping. Everyone of them has been super skinny that I've found like this. What should I give them so it stops happening. They have fresh water and unlimited access to food.

I moved my two month old chickens to the coop in a cage so they could become familiar with my older chickens. Yesterday I found one barely alive and stiff so I thought maybe with the cold it was frozen it's feet were swallon and stiff as a board. I brought it in and tried warming it up but it...

When my grandma passed a couple years ago I ended up with her beloved cockatiel. She has spent the last 4 months laying eggs non stop. How do I make her stop? Isn't this bad for its health? I remove the eggs everytime she lays them. I don't have a male. She is about 6 years old.

I help a friend regularly that has a wildlife rehab license. It is so much fun. We have had baby deer, baby fox, oppossums(my favorite) rabbits,squirrels, owls, hawks, and birds. You will love it!

Thank you. I don't think they are being picked on. Whenever i go to the coop they come out from hiding and eat and drink. I think they feel safe when I'm around.

We have two chickens who are about a month younger than our originals. We slowly introduced them into the coop but they seem terrified of the bigger chickens and hide anywhere they can. This has been going on for a couple weeks now. Will they eventually get used to the rest of the chickens?

Chicken wire. We plan on locking the chickens in the coop at night

We are new to chickens so if something needs added or changed let us know your thoughts thank you. [/IMG]

My 6 year old claimed this chicken as his and she ran away at some point yesterday and we haven't been able to find her. Wondering what kind she is so I can replace her with a similar chicken.

The 5 week olds are vaccinated but the 2 week olds were not

The ones in the brooder are 2 weeks and the ones in the coop are 5 weeks

I'm finding spots like this in my brooder and my chicken coop should I be concerned? I have 26 chickens so I don't know which it is. They all are acting normal.
