Hi all! I noticed a weird behavior with my chickens. Today is July 1 and in Hawaii, they do these siren tests every time a new month passes— this can be heard all around the island. Unfortunately, the sirens are right next to my house and are blaringly loud. I noticed that almost every single...
There is a vet I know of, but not always readily available. I'm not too fond of the idea of the check-up fee nearing $150 so that's why I've been hesitant. But if his problems do persist for a few days, we plan on taking him to one.
If you believe that your girl is egg-bound, I suggest giving her an Epsom Salt bath since it helps with relaxing your hen and can pass the egg that way. If you're having trouble determining whether or not she is eggbound, if she does poop then she is NOT egg-bound.
As for the lethargicness and...
Hi all! I have a rooster who has not been feeling the greatest. A week ago, we caught on our camera that my rooster was fighting with a feral rooster through his cage. His whole foot was bruised, so we isolated him. We also found out that he had vent gleet around that time, to which we gave him...
Hello! I posted a forum similar to this a few months ago. However, I found out it was too early to tell; Here is the link to my old forum post He's grown so much! Can anyone tell what breed this is?

No, Henry was the first chicken I have experienced to be sick. Whether it was a respiratory disease or gapeworm, does that make my other chickens vulnerable to that as well?
I'm new to raising chickens, so I didn't know when it was appropriate to deworm. If you can kindly tell me, how to deworm chickens, I would appreciate that. I'll be sure to do it to the rest of my other chickens to protect them... Are worms contagious? Are my other chickens in danger to this?
Hello! Please help my chicken. I just noticed that my chick is wheezing and sneezing. I can hear her wheezing in and out. I'm not sure what to do. It was very loud 2 hours ago, but now it's starting to become faint. But now she is really weak and doesn't want to move around. We tried olive oil...
Hello! Just yesterday, I discovered one of my chicks closing one eye only. The other eye looks healthy but the other eye does not! Sometimes I can see redness in the corner of her eye. She closes her left eye a lot but when she does open it, her eyes are very watery and teary. This is only...
