I had a buckeye that became paralyzed in her legs. She could sort of walk like a sumo wrestler and she seemed alert and ate and drank for 3 days. By the 4th day, she became lethargic and wasn't responding to anything. She died that night. We thought, since we couldn't find anything, and they had...

Although she was eating and drinking, she's declined in health rapidly over the past two days. We are going to put her out of her misery today. :( No other chickens are showing signs of sickness of any sorts, so we can only assume it was something genetic.

Hi there. Three days ago, I noticed I have a buckeye hen (1 year old) that was reluctant to walk. I approached her and she didn't get up to run away, but did squawk a little. I picked her up to examine her and found that her legs weren't working right. She could still move about but was using...

I understand. My only concern is they stopped laying 2 months ago. We expect them to molt between October and December sometimes, based on their age and how long they've been laying.

I'm sorry, I thought the egg shells were enough calcium for them? That's what I had read when I researched it. Didn't feel like I need to spend extra on oyster shell when they already produce calcium. But I can give it a try. We will also start feeding them every day to see if that helps. They...

Ok, here is my issue. I have 8 hens that free range on a 1/4 acre, under greenery and wonderful flowers that are great for protection. We feed them food every other day, provide plenty of water for them, they aren't molting yet, but they aren't laying! I live in OK and the high temperature has...

We have two flocks on our property, one consisting of one female turkey and three hens, and the other consisting of 10 hens and two roosters. So 15 chickens total. (Two separate coops, but they all run together during the day). Recently, maybe over the past two months, our Blue Andalusian...

We have these two speckled sussex hens that we need help naming! One of them (the right one) literally follows us around and pretty much begs us for food, the same way our dogs do. She dares to walk into our shop and stare at us and the food bins, knowing there is food here and she practically...

Thank you. We are not in city limits. I'm by no means out to kill all Hawks, but I literally ran outside, halfway through my yard and into our chicken area before I saw the hawk on the ground on my one of my brahma females. Then the hawk saw me and took off. She survived but does have a broken wing

Please do! Thank you!

Hi there! Quick question. I'm still fairly new to OK and I'm new to raising chickens. I've done a little bit of research but haven't found any straight answers. I know it's illegal to shoot a hawk. But is it still illegal if they are in the middle of attacking your chickens (i.e. Property)? My...

Typically we free-range our birds. Today the weather is concerning me. Should I let the chickens out of the coop today?

We have a mixed flock, as well as two flocks in the same chicken yard. My mixed flock contains about half males and half females of Cochins, Light Brahmas, Speckled Sussex, Blue Andalusians, Buckeyes, and one Easter Egger. 21 in total. We plan on culling the majority of the male and maybe some...

But from what I described, we should just keep doing what we're doing?

So I'm pretty sure my chickens have fowl pox, dry, because they have lesions all over their eyes and waddles and combs. Not all of them have it, but some do. We have 21 total. Several of them are bad, like swollen eyes as well as bubbles and pus in the eyes. They don't seem to be listless and we...

Perfect! Thank you! We will definitely keep an eye out on the other ones. My husband and I have decided that we will also keep good records of our friend's chickens as well.
