We have a buff orpington rooster, about 10 months old. He got into a fight, actually I think he was attacked, by another one of our roosters. He got a couple scratches on his back, which became infected, so we are treating that with antibiotics. He was limping when it first happened, now it...

Anybody know what could be wrong with this chicken? She's had a pale comb for a little Wile but no other symptoms. I don't see any bugs on her. She has been getting pecked on for the past week or so. Today she seems lethargic. I found her tucked in between the water container and the wall. Don't...

I currently have 1 coop with 15 hens and 1 rooster. Our second coop has a mom, 4 chicks (3 of which may be roosters), and 6 four month old roosters. I want to seperate the older roosters but I don't know where to go with them. I was thinking of making a tractor for them, but what about winter...

We had 5 chicks hatch back in June. This one is the runt of the litter. I took her out to clean the wound with warm water. Is there anything else I should do? Right now she is in the same coop with mom, 4 siblings, and 6 four month old roosters.

Can anybody tell if this chick is a hen or a roo? It's dad is a delaware. Not sure who the mom is-either delaware, cinnamon queen, golden comet. We had a BO go broody and decided to let her sit on the eggs. This is the first time we've hatched our own eggs.

I have a golden comet, I think she's about 2 yrs old, with a pale comb. She seems to be fine otherwise. I threw some scraps over the fence and she came up and fought for it, took off running and was playing keep away with the other hens. When I watched her for a bit she kept squinting like she...

Hen or roo? This is supposed to be a 2 week old silver laced wyandotte pullet.

I got a delaware rooster yesterday, (friday april 24th). Today I noticed his eyes were closed. Like they were stuck closed. I took a warm rag and wiped his eyes and he was able to open them again. Has anybody else ever had this happen? Is there a way to prevent it? And what causes it?

These 2 are the same age. Pullets? The one has bigger comb and wattles are pink already.

Is it too early to tell if this is a he or she? She's 5 weeks old.

When I went out to the coop this morning there was a very strong ammonia smell. What would be causing that and what can I do about it? We clean the nesting boxes and the floor almost every day.

I just found a dead chicken partially under the coop. I thought it had gotten itself stuck but when I pulled it out its head had been ripped off. What the heck kind of critter does that?

I have 4 chicks that are 8 weeks old, an easter egger, buff orpington, and 2 cinnamon queens. I live in southeast iowa. Temps are in the 30s and 40s during the day, and down into the 20s at night. Would the chicks be okay if I put them in the coop outside? Right now they are in a brooder in the...

Is this a he or she? I'm concerned about the pink wattles and she's only 4 weeks old.

Is this a he or she? I got her from farm and fleet store who gets there chicks from cackle hatchery. From what I've read about the color of cq chicks I'm wondering if it's a he.

I just found 11 eggs in a "nest" next to our garage. I have a 22 week old rir that keeps getting out of the yard. She started laying at 18 weeks but then nothing the last couple weeks. Then this afternoon I found 11. Would they still be good? How can you tell? The rir in question is now missing...

This just happened maybe half hour ago. I was going to ask what I should do for her but she just died. I am so steaming mad!

Is it too early to tell if this is a pullet or a roo?

I had a 3 week old get its leg pinched between a board and the wall. It's not moving around just sitting there. Not making any noise either, but when I tried to look at its leg it pulled it away and started chirping. What should I do? There is no visible injury.

These two were hatchery choice st run. So I'm trying to figure out what breed they are. Biy or girl would be nice too, but I figure I'll find that out eventually one way or another. 20190401_172933 by mitch1114 posted Apr 1, 2019 at 5:49 PM20190401_173027 by mitch1114 posted Apr 1, 2019 at 5:49 PM
