Free to a GOOD home please... 5 old chickens. 1 White leghorn, 4 black sex-link. All hens. I kept these birds for a long time, then my brothers began to care for them. They have stopped laying and instead of turning them into stew, like my mother wants to, I'd like to give them a good home...

Also, could this be Marek's? If it is, is there anything I can do about it?

My family has 26 one-month-old cornish broiler chickens. Yesterday my father found one of them in the coop with it's head down. He removed it from the coop. The chick has limited mobility in his head and neck, but will drink if we hold water under its beak. It's eyes are wide open today, I've...

Looks like the headache meds I'm on are causing the low red blood cell count. So, I'm slowly being weaned off of it. I don't need it anymore anyways, but it's an antidepressant and I can't just go off of it without experiencing side effects. I hope it works. :)

I went to the doctor the other day for a Physical, and told my doctor about the chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue I have been experiencing lately. I'm under 20, so this wasn't heart related. He had me do a breath/lung strenght test, which showed that my lungs are storng, so that isn't...

Cool! It's so cute... the joke actually makes sense now! lol

Thanks. Oh, and I only have 18 hens- and I forgot to mention that 2 of them are Leghorns. Good breeds.

Here's a pic I picked up. :D What do u call it when a chicken stops laying? Henopause.

Ok, Half of my flock is almost 3 years old, the other half is almost 2. I provide light at night, feed them layer feed from the local co-op (ground corn, oats, additives, roasted soybeans, etc.) and good table scraps (friut, bread, oatmeal, etc.), they seem healthy, and they get lots of fresh...

Thanks so much! :>s

Well, it would be too late for antibiotics, so my dad shot her for me last night. I know she had an infection.

Is she just gonna die? :,(

Hard mass. What should I do? It's hard but also soft in places.

There! That's her.

Breed: Black Star- it's a Barred Rock/Rhode Island Red cross. She eats regular laying mash from the coop near us, and we also give them vegetables and bread scraps. Now that I think about it, when I checked on her earlier, she has labored breathing. Her comb is a pretty good color, though the...

Hello all, I have an almost 2 year old Black Star hen that has developed a hard-ish mass in the vent area. I have fed her oil, massaged it, etc, but nothing has worked. If she had been egg bound, she would be dead by now... and she also poops, so she is not constipated... could it be worms...

To all, I have 19 (?) Black Star (Barred Rock/Rhode Island Red ) chickens. About half of them are almost 2 years old, the other are almost 3. What about all of you?

Wait- sorry, when I said veteran I meant keeping chickens... sorry about that. Not a real veteran. :(

Hello everyone. I am a 2 1/2 year chicken 'veteran'. I enjoy spending time with my 'girls', as I call them, and they enjoy all the attention. Nice to meet all of you. :)
