Why is my Hen doing this???

We found an egg on the other side of our chicken coop in between the wood fence and the coop. The nesting boxes are 20ft away from where the egg was found. Something had to have climbed up the side of the coop, went into the hen house, in the nesting box 20 ft away, and the walk through the coop...

Hello, My 3 week old Olive Egger has been down and out for the past 4-5 days. She was not drinking or eating and would just stand under the heat lamp with her eyes closed, neck tucked in, wings a little droopy, and feathers a little fluffy. At first I thought she just needed some nutridrench so...

A little back story, a couple of my 24 chicks had watery poop with some blood in it. I went and bought Corid and we are on day 4 of the 5 day treatment. Up until know, every chick has been very lively and eating and drinking just fine. My little Polish has been on the small side since we got...
