Hi! I have a 19-20 week old Exchequer Leghorn chick named Lili. I was trying to integrate her and our other chicks into our flock. Everything seemed to be going fine, so after a few days of close observation, I attempted letting her stay with our grown chickens overnight. Unfortunately, she got...

I have a four year old wyandotte hen who started wheezing very loud sometime today. Yesterday she was acting completely normal. None of my other chickens are wheezing and everybody seems to be acting normal. I isolated her from the rest of the chickens. She is still eating and acting completely...

I have a two and a half week old welsummer chick who is usually very active and curious. It has most of its wing feathers and a couple small tail feathers. She usually spends a lot of time out from under the heat and running around flapping her wings. I found her standing under the heat today...

I just recently got ten new chickens, who are about three weeks old (unfortunately two died, but since then, everything has been fine.) I just have two quick questions. I have a white rock, who has many more feathers than the other chicks and she always seems to be hot. I often find her...

I had these ten baby chicks and they are all 6-7 days old now. There was a White Crested Black Polish, which constantly was getting pasty butt. This morning, she got it again and I was cleaning her up when I noticed she was just sleeping there and when I put her down, she just stood there, I had...

I have a BLRW rooster named Pip, who is 5 years old. When he was younger, something happened to his toes and they curl outwards. He also has very long spurs which make it hard for him to walk (we are planning on cutting them soon), so I am not surprised when he stands weird and is a little...

I was at a nearby pool, watching an away swim meet, and the meet was stopped because a mother duck and her 3 ducklings were swimming across the lane lines! They were the cutest things. But someone came up to me and told me that it was ridiculous that we were taking the ducks out of the pool. He...

There has recently been a series of raccoon attacks at my coop. We've finally (hopefully) got it under control, but the raccoons left 6 chickens dead and 1 injured. The injured hen was Sunny, a 1 year old Red Sex Link. She was scratched on the neck (which I believe is healing ok) and something...

Hi! I have a brown chinese crested goose pair, who have previously hatched goslings with their own eggs. Starting at the beginning of April, my goose, Buttercup, started laying eggs. She laid 14-16 eggs, but I haven't caught her sitting on the nest in the last two weeks. I saw her sit on it...

I hoping to remodel my coop this summer because it is tight and storing food is getting inconvenient. I don't want to do anything big, like expansions or full paint jobs, but it want it to look nicer. I was wondering if anyone had any DIY ideas or nice things you can buy for the coop. Thank you!

Snuggles died a few weeks ago, but it took me a while to figure out just what to write. She was pretty spoiled rotten (she was like a princess) and she had a great life. Snuggles May 11, 2014 - March 6, 2016 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Snuggles came home with us when she was a 1 week...

My 3-year old BLRW hen, Snuggles has looked a little bit lethargic for a day or two. She's always been pretty light and it doesn't feel like she's lost any weight. She stands around with her feather kind of ruffled and I haven't seen her eat or drink a lot recently. She eats treats (watermelon...

My 2-year old Coronation Sussex rooster, Lemon, has 1 toe that is covered in blood. Some of the feathers on his chest and head have blood on them, but they are not wounded. His toe looks wounded. It's not actively bleeding, but it has kind of a liquid blood coating on it. I don't think he lost...

So I got a chicken swing for Christmas and was really excited to see the chickens swinging on their swing, but they haven't figured out how to use it yet. Has anyone else had trouble getting their chickens to use the chicken swing? How did you get them to use it?

I had a silkie chick hatch on June 28th, 2015 and was 99% sure it was a hen. The chick had the smallest comb until "she" was 30 weeks old and "her" hackle feathers never got really shiny, but yesterday, I heard my little chick crow! I already have 3 roosters!

I have 21 hens that range from 22 weeks to 2 years old. I have not gotten an egg in 5 days! I just thought my chickens were slacking until I found some weird feces in the nesting boxes. It was long and skinny with a white tip. I'm wondering what kind of animal is eating my eggs.

I was taking care of my geese when I noticed my female goose had a lump on her neck I had never seen before. It went from the bottom of her neck and then it evened out. Is something wrong? She's acting normal and eating and drinking.

So I was walking down to the chicken coop, and I saw a black cat with green eyes 10 feet away from the run. Will it hurt my chickens?

My brown chinese crested goose, Buttercup, has been sitting on 7 eggs. Today is day 28 and I have a pip! Buttercup has been broody 3 times since we got her, but we have never gotten a pip! What are the chances that a pipped egg will hatch?

I walked into my coop yesterday to find my red sex link pullet, Sunny, with her eye closed. It's only her right eye. She opens it occasionally for a few seconds at a time, but then she closes it again. When it's open, it looks normal. What's wrong with her?
