Chick #2 both legs were spayed we have her in a brace I even made her shoes but she doesn’t seem...

Just picked up some silkies that came though the mail today. One seems to be hobbling and his leg is sticking out. Could it be broken? What can I do the help it?

Hi, This is our first batch of chickens. We have 6, 4 hens and 2 roosters. They are currently 8 weeks old. We got a coop from Tractor Supply, I put wheels on it and recently we built a deck because it was killing our grass. In the top area where they sleep we have pine shaving. On the bottom...

We have 6 chicks 3.5 weeks old. 2 Barred Rock, 2 Penedesenca, and 2 Bantam. I just picked up this coop and trying them in it for the first time today. There are a few modifications I still want to make, wheels on bottom and 2 hanging buckets for food and water. When they get older I will let...
