    Sick chicken with watery poop,lethargic

    Hello all. We have a year old laying RIR who about a week ago started acting off. Her head listed to the right and she kind of walked in circles.

    Chicken with brood patch has lump under it

    Chicken with brood patch has lump under it

    hey all! I have a brown leghorn that for some reason has always picked out her own chest feathers. She’s not even a year old, and lays great eggs for us.she doesn’t exhibit other brooding behavior like trying to sit on her eggs all the time so we’ve just let her be. The brood patch never seems...
