Hi, one of my chickens (3yr old red sex link), Bertha, is not doing well at all. She has laid maybe two eggs in the past year, but I was not too worried about that because her health hasn't suffered until now & she's always been one of my strongest (& one of the two alphas of our small flock of...

I have 6 hens.. 2 of which have started to lose feathers on the tops of their heads.. Recently there have been an increasing amount of feathers around their coop and run area, and my original 6 eggs a day has dropped down to 3.. so i figured they might be molting, but they are only 7 months old...

My Wilma is missing several feathers from her head.. Does anyone seem to have any ideas as to what has happened? She wasn't missing any feathers yesterday, we had an issue with rats getting in their coop a few weeks ago (but we believe that to be remedied), she started laying eggs about 4-6...

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong with her? Its been a month since she laid her last egg, and I'm starting to get pretty worried.. all of her sisters are still laying everyday and are healthy. She is not lethargic, she's not limping, everything seems to be normal, except of...

One of my girls, wilma, started laying about a week or so ago, laid about 3-4 eggs, and then stopped, and hasn't laid one since.. I have been gone on vacation and just got back a couple of days ago, our chicken sitter kept an "egg log" and listed all the egg colors and quantity of each.. she...

Does anybody have a chicken leash? How do you like it? How long did it take you to train them to use it? I know training takes a while and some chickens will simply never like it, but if anyone has chickens that have ended up liking them, please let me know all the details! I've been thinking...

Recently one of my hens has developed an attitude towards the other chickens. Whenever I go out to give them a treat or simply refill their food, Spaghetti Jo gets really mean towards her sisters. She will start pecking at their faces and gets quite protective over the food or treat. Is there...

Recently, I've discovered that my chickens are not drinking out of their waterer that has the cups attached to it. I have tried showing them several times how to use it and they will successfully drink out of it while I'm sitting there, but then I'll come to check on them later and they will be...

Hello! Recently the temperatures here where I am have been rising exponentially, and my chickens are definitely not happy about it. The average temperature where I am is about 95 degrees and humidity is about 80-95%.. I feed my chickens cold fruit and yogurt, when it's especially hot, and I ice...

Hello! I have had my chickens since March 18,2017, and my red sex link just laid the first egg out of all six of my chickens!! I'm so proud of her, especially since she has been my little baby since day 1. Her name is Bertha and is definitely one of my more motherly looking chickens. I love her...

Hello! Recently my chickens have had quite runny poop and have been barfing on occasion. I'm not sure what seems to be the matter with them, since there has not been anything out of the ordinary that has either been fed to them or given to them to drink. They have been eating the feed that they...
