One of my hens has been laying around on the ground and when one of the other chickens come near her she moves around a little. When she tries to move around she looks as if she is crawling, kinda almost dragging her tail end, with her tail all tucked down. The others have gone to roost, she...

About 7 weeks ago my son got new chicks, an assortment as we like to have a few of each. We got them from the local feed store. 10 chicks altogether, and they are doing great. Only problem is he got a Buff Brahma that will not grow. It is still fuzzy, never feathered. Its wings are the tiniest...

I currently have a broody hen with 9 or 10 eggs under her that I think should hatch sometime around Wednesday, as well as 7 eggs in the incubator that are in lockdown as of yesterday so just waiting for these to hatch. I candled the ones in the incubator before lockdown and I think that 2 had...

Something got our turkey last night. She has been trying to sit on a nest and it is off in some trees. We tried to move her back to the safety of a coop but she just wouldn't stay. So we think she was near the back coop last night when the attack happened as there are a lot of feathers there...

I found this little guy right outside one of my coops this morning. I am not sure but my son thinks it was a Timber Rattlesnake??? Anyone know for sure?

Gender please. They are 16 weeks and 5 days old. My son hatched them, and we can not tell on these two. They are also very hard to get pics of. Thanks

In my second coop I have 8 hens all 22-23 weeks old. 3 Orpingtons, 2 Welsummers, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, and 1 Golden Lace Wyandotte. One of the Orpingtons started laying on Monday and has continued to lay an egg each day since. Today I found this egg which is a little lighter in color then...

I have a few chickens that seem to have gotten sick. Coughing and/or sneezing. One is a Wyandotte 19 weeks, one a orpington 20 weeks, and one a leghorn 9 months old. I would guess that they are about 4 or 5 pounds. If I need to weigh them I can do that. I have noticed what I think is sneezing ...

Does anyone know the law for selling my eggs in the state of Florida? We are finally getting enough eggs that we could start selling some, and I just want to make sure that I am following any law that may be out there as far as selling the eggs. Or any help finding out the best place to research...

This morning when I went out to check on the animals and feed and water them I Found my turkey upside down flapping and struggling to get up. I do not know how long he was like this. He was very worn out when I found him. I got him turned over but he just laid on the floor of the coop and didn't...

Today while I had the chickens out free ranging they started acting a little strange and made noise I had not heard from them before. They did this 3 different times. The third time they did it I saw an owl fly up to a pine tree branch and land. I have never seen an owl before here in my yard...

Not sure if I am posting in the correct area or not but I took my best guess.. We have a few chicks that hatched a few weeks ago. Mom is a white leghorn. We had 2 roos. A black one, and a RIR. The chicks were white with a few random black spots on them, now that they are feathering I am seeing...

I am just wondering has anyone found any type of an automatic feeder for the fermented feed? And if so, do you feel like your chickens eat more FF then they did dry feed. I would love to find something that works well. Thanks

I posted this earlier in the injury section and only got one response. We have chicks that were hatched about 2 weeks ago that we bought from someone else. Marans and Ameraucanas. They have the same hatch date we were told. The smallest one was not acting right. Just laying in the same spot...

We have chicks that were hatched about 2 weeks ago that we bought from someone else. Marans and Ameraucanas. They have the same hatch date we were told. The smallest one was not acting right. Just laying in the same spot when the others were all over doing what they do. When I would get near the...

I bought these at a few days old and was told they are English Orpingtons. I had a lady tell me the other day that they are not, so I am maybe confused. And also I think they are all pullets and just want to verify? Any friendly opinions welcomed Please and Thank you!

Has anyone ever ordered chicks from Strombergs Chicks? How were they? How was the shipping? Time frame? I was thinking of ordering from them. Thanks

My son and I are about to set our first set of eggs in the incubator, and we were hoping for someone to hatch along with us. We are in Jacksonville Florida. High humidity, so any pointers are so helpful. I have read some about not using water til lock down since it is so humid here. I have had...
