Hurt chicken, blood all over and feathers all messed up. Possibly hurt by raccoons, coyotes, or otters. What can I do at home? We have no supplies, the vet near us all doesn’t take birds and the fastest way I can get things is from Amazon or local groceries. Is there things I can get from the...

I have a roughly 2 years old Speckled sussex hen, and she's been having diarrhea for about a month already, she's not eating at all on her own and only drinking a little bit of water, we had to force feed her to make sure she stays alive. She's been loosing a lot of weight, you can feel her...

I have a 2 year old Speckled Sussex hen that might be sick? She had been sick 3 times in the past 5 months, while all of my other chickens are absolutely fine! She had mites a while ago but that has been gone for about 3 weeks now. Her wattle is big and red, but her appetite on things like...

I keep noticing how my lead hen, Yellowie always pecks my younger pullet, Dumpling, harshly whenever she tries to food from her, while on the other hand, she rarely does that to Sungold, who is also a pullet from last year. So I realized something……that chickens actually picks favorites! You...

I’ve seen a few thread about petting a chicken and most replies are saying that chickens like to be petted and will seek pets and massages from you. My chickens never do and don’t like to be petted even though I hand raised them and often snuggle with them when they were babies. Any ideas on why?

This morning when we let our chickens out to free range in the yard, all of them were fine. Then one of my chicken, a 2 year old Speckled Sussex hen just stopped playing and digging and went back to the cage just standing their, but no symtoms of any sorts of sickness yet. After we came back...

My 2 and a half year old Speckled Sussex is usually very active and in motion. But just starting a few days ago, she was active a lot less and her faced seemed to have gotten more pale (just a little), and today she just started sort of of leaning to one side and crawling like there's a really...

We live in a city and we keep chickens. We bought 4 chicks in May this year: a Silver Leghorn, a Cinnamon Queen, a Leghorn Hybrid, and a Buckeye. It turns out that the Buckeye is actually a rooster and he just started to crow recently. Since the reason we can't keep roosters is because they're...

All of these chicks are about 1 month and a half old. The first 4 pics are a Buckeye (I am really suspecting that she's he), the next 3 pics are Silver Leghorn (Maybe a hen?), the 4 pics following is a Leghorn hybrid, and the last set of photos are Cinnamon Queen.

We have raised chickens for a few years already but none has ever caught a cold, so we have no idea how to deal with this. We just bought 4 new chicks on the first of May this year and now 2 of them are sneezing and their poops are kind of watery. I think they might have caught a cold but we...

I have a small flock of 8 and lives in Edmond. There's a park near us that only takes a 10-15 minute walk and coyotes & raccoons that live there. I've never seen a coyote there before but I have see a raccoon looking at my chicken from a roof twice. I held my guard and made sure the coop door...

Help! I don't know why but now I can't log in anymore! I am 100% sure that my username and password are correct, I tried a few times, it didn't work. Now BYC website has just automatically locked my account because of fail logins.

I have a small flock of 5 (and three 2 days to 4 months old chicks) and one of them is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. In the past, we used to just let them free-range in the entire yard, but now, since that we've built a patio and they keeps pooping on it, we had to put them in the coop with a small...
