My chickens all seem to be gaping. I have one hen who has done it since I got her three years ago and I didn't think anything of it. I figured it was some kind of habit but now it seems that more and more of my chickens are doing it. What could it be? At first I suspected gape worm but I read...

My hen Athena has been acting strange lately. I noticed that she has a lot of poop on the feathers by her vent. She's been getting kinda of depressed looking. I thought at first it was the heat so I brought her inside but today it is cooled off and she's acting like that again. She still goes...

It doesn't seem like that long ago, but my chicks are two weeks old and they're so big already! So I took all their pictures today while I cleaned their brooder, here they are! :) This little guy is Thibault, he's a BLRW. And this one is Rosalie, also a BLRW :) And here's Nike the Turken...

Yesterday it was super hot out, so I decided to bring the chicks out for the first time! They had so much fun, they kept finding leaves and running around chasing after eachother to get them lol. I swear I could sit there for hours just watching them :P Here's the pictures I took! I didn't...

I just got our baby chicks yesterday and they all peck eachother a lot. Is this normal??

We got this chick as our free mystery chick I think. Do you know what kind it is? Thanks!

My chicks were supposed to arrive on Monday so I was totally unprepared. I didn't have anything set up and at all and I was actually going to go buy everything I needed today. Well the post office calls at 7 am YOUR CHICKS ARE HERE! Of course I freak out "I don't have anything ready!!!!!!" So my...

We pressure washed the coop today to get everything all clean so the hens (and Comet the roo) were all out free ranging. I have one hen seperate, Lily, that I keep inside because she was sick for awhile but she's getting better and she was totally in love with Comet. They grew up together and I...

I wasn't sure where exactly to put this but I'm in a dilemma of sorts. In April we ordered 28 chicks to come on May 21st. A weeks or so after that one of our hens became ill and died. We thought it was just something she had got but we didn't know. Well now another hen is very sick. She's been...

I don't know what is wrong with my chickens... Two weeks ago my hen Tink, started looking ill with droopy feathers and watery diarrhea she was still eating, drinking and laying eggs up until the end. And after a few days she died. I do not know what was wrong but her sister was seperated with...

Hi, I'm not sure what is wrong with my hen.. The worst of it started on friday night 4/20/12. I came in the coop at night to find her sitting on the floor instead of roosting. Her comb was bleeding along with two of her scales. My flock has had scaly leg mites which I've been treating them for...

I think my chickens have them. I'm really sad and I was puting vaseline on their toes for a few days then I found this scaly leg mite medicine spray stuff at the feed store so I've been using that. Is there anything else I can do? And how do I for sure know that's what this is? One of the hens...

I got six new hens in December and I quarantined them and everything way back then for a month. I noticed one of the new hens kinda stays to herself and stays all fluffed up by herself and doesn't roost when the others do. She seems fine, i think she's on the bottom of the pecking order though...

I got six new chickens!! They are a present from my dad He went and was supposed to get six, well when we put them in the pen we saw there was only five! So today he went back and got the last one that had escaped. I got her and she joined in the pen like nothing ever happened. It oddly feels...

I just got new chickens about 45 minutes ago. They came from some guy my dad works with. A lot of them have raggedy feathers and floppy combs so I was watching them (they are being quarantined by the way) and I saw the leader (I think) pick out a feather off another one and eat it. They look...

Are corn screenings okay to feed? My grandpa has a whole bunch he's willing to give me and its just like scratch pretty much Thanks!

Hello! I was wondering if in the springtime my silkie would sit on duck eggs, hatch them, and take care of the ducklings?? And could I have her sitting on both chicken and duck eggs? Or is that just a no no...? Thanks for you time!
