Newbie here... I noticed one of my poults had these small bumps around it's eyes. I noticed it a week ago & it has not changed. The others do not have bumps. What is it & what should I do? I feed them 24% protein feed & water with vitamins & electrolytes. They're 3 weeks old. I have them...

1) Buff Orpington, 2 y/o, feels slightly lighter than before but not too worried about the weight just yet. 2) Mellow, carrying head close to shoulders. Moves slow, tail goes up, and sometimes goes down. At times she looks like she's going to poop, but doesn't. More sleepy, goes to roost in the...

I would like to use this thread for anyone that may be caring for wounds on their chicken, what they might expect during an optimistic healing process. At least I'd like this to be a happy ending, but I am uncertain as of now. I'm using my camera phone right now, my regular camera doesn't work...

My leghorn "Isa the Escape Artist" got out of the run, our 6 y/o rescue dog we just adoped 5 days ago grabbed it, but then let it go. She was limping around for a couple days & was able to stand & perch but today she can't move her leg at all. I couldn't find where the break is so I'm assuming...

I've been going to neighbors' houses with eggs and letting them know I have chickens and if they had a problem with the noise to let me know. So far so good, but I've only been to 3 so far, and 2 more I know are OK with them, but I still got ground to cover. If I run into a crabby neighbor, I...

Hi, I was wanting to know if there are any recommended structures/shrubs we could use to help minimize the noise from the chickens... I am waking up early now so I can let them out to keep them from squawking. One morning, they were so loud, they woke me up (can hear them through our closed...

I've been reading through the egg bound threads, haven't ran into a situation like mine. My chickens are 4 months old, haven't laid eggs yet. My BO looks the most ready as her comb is very red and larger - compared to the others. I was mowing the lawn about 5:30pm and decided that I could put...

I have a strict policy in any relationship whether it's between friends, family, or coworkers. Don't lend any money when you expect the recipient to pay you back, and don't expect someone to return you the favor, let it be a pleasant surprise. Well every now and then I forget and allow someone...

Okay, I am suspicious of one of my polish crested chicks being a cockerel because it has longer tail and crest feathers, but then the other one started to develop wattles already - this one seems to develop faster than the other, but I've looked at other polish crested cockerels and they look...

Any suggestions on how to remove dried poo off a chick? I noticed these 2 I just got have sticky bottoms and one actually has a bald behind from trying to remove it. Obviously it bothers them. I tried using peanut butter and it worked okay. Also I'm replacing the bedding daily. I just need...

I've been going to BYC everyday for I don't know how long... now that I got them I've been doing tons of research on them! 7 of them are just over 2 months old and just got 2 more that are a week old. always wanted chickens and finally got them, now if I can just talk my DH into getting me a...
