Hi I think my chook is sick. She is possibly 18 months old. She's lethargic, crouching down sort of fluffed up, looks larger than normal. She's not eating (I only have 2 so know how much food I top up each day) but have seen her drinking. I don't think she's pooping much either. They both are...

Thanks Lori. Hope it's just one of those things, and the others will be ok.

I have 3 young chooks, and 1 of them I found in the coop this morning (nesting area where they sleep) dead. She was about 7-8 months old. She had only just starting laying, 2 eggs. She wasn't where she normally sleeps in the nesting box, but laying straight out on the straw in their night...

Thanks dawg53. It has been hot on and off for a few weeks (32C plus for 2 weeks just recently) but cooled down now. I do have some worming liquid so I'll try that on the weekend. And get some apple cider vinegar. They generally only get their chook pellets as they seem fussy about veggi and...

They poo, scratch dirt/straw and knock over all the containers that I put in with water (4), so by end of the day they have no water. I've tried different containers, raised them on bricks, but same outcome. Any...

Vanilla air fresheners? Do they really work at keeping flies away?

Gosh seems like I'm not the only one having problems with my chooks sleeping in their nesting boxes and not on their perch! 3 weeks to retrain, really!!! yikes. I blocked off the boxes last night, but they somehow managed to scrape, move and upset my invention and slept on the cardboard, plastic...

Thanks everyone for your welcomes. Just found some really helpful information on why my chooks sleep in the nesting boxes (and not on their perch) and also poo and lay in them!! Their boxes will be closed off tonight.

Just joined but have been reading posts and information for some time, and information has been very helpful. I have 3 New Hampshires about 17 weeks old and have just had my first eggs. I think from only one of them though. They are strange animals but slowly getting the hang of them. One of...
