Does anyone know how often you can give a chicken asprin?

I have a 5 week old pullet who seemed fine until about 1 1/2 weeks ago when I noticed she was keeping one eye closed. She has always been the really calm one, but now she sleeps alot and isn't as active. She eats and drinks fine but then goes over to a corner as if to get out of the way of the...

I have two pullets that have gone broody. My Marans went first and after 3 weeks she stopped. Then my Ameraucana went broody soon after. Now my Marans is trying to sit on the nest again! I Don't have a rooster, and I don't want anymore chickens at this time. My question is why are they going...

I was out in the yard today digging out and leveling a spot in the yard for a new shed(possible future coop). I let the girls out to play while I was out. So, I was digging and pulling large rolls of grass up, and there they were right in front of me catching the bugs and worms as I went. We did...

I have a golden comet and she has this brown spot on the bottom of her foot. It is not a scab, and no swelling. I am going to keep an eye on it, especially since it is very wet here right now.

I am re-doing my coop. The one bought just doesn't work for me, but the existing framework wil be in corporated. I was wondering what the dimensions of the opening for the chcken door to the run should be. My largest bird should be my Orpington.

Last night we had some coyotes howling on our property at 11:45, woke me up and scared me to death! Very haunting sound. Anyway, I flew out of bed with out even thinking about it and grabbed my kids bat and went out to the coop(even though it is locked up tight) to protect my pullets if need be...

Can someone tell me what a chicken cough sounds like? I am new at this whole chicken thing and my BR is making this sort of honking sound when she runs. It is very hot and she is breathing through her mouth a lot. She also sneezes periodically. Not a lot but enough to have me looking at her. I...
