    Should I be concerned? Sneezing & coughing

    @dawg53 When we were driving home we heard some coughing/sneezing. We contacted the previous owners and they said they had never heard that from the chickens before. They wondered if it was stress from the move. We do have more chickens in another coop isolated from these chickens. We have...

    Should I be concerned? Sneezing & coughing

    We acquired 15 new chickens from another farm. The farm was spotless and had lots of different fowl - peacocks, geese, chickens, gunieas and quail. But the birds have been sneezing and coughing on and off for the last 3 weeks. We have dewormed and been treating with VetRX. They have been eating...

    Help identify

    We bought a flock of birds as the owner was moving. We have a few we don't know what they are. Can you help identify this breed?

    Cuckoo what?

    We bought these chickens in a FB deal. The previous owner had them from a hatchery and said breeding pair of cuckoo Orpington. Long story short definitely not breeding pair, both rooster but now what kind.‍ Any help would be appreciated!

    Watermelon = loose, red poop?

    Thanks everybody. I got a little worried when I first saw it. :barnie I figured you would be easier to ask here vs trying to go through Google and causing me to freak out even more than I already had.

    Watermelon = loose, red poop?

    My girls range in age between 14-18ish weeks. I don't have a picture as I was doing morning chores and left my phone in the house. If I notice it again, I will take pictures.

    Watermelon = loose, red poop?

    Still new to the chicken life so bare with me as I ask this weird question - I gave my ladies watermelon yesterday due to the heat and this morning I noticed a newer pile with red in it. I don't want to jump on the coccidiosis bandwagon as they are all seeming to be healthy and happy and...

    When your dog thinks he is a chicken

    We have been told it is a Cream Legbar. It was a FB purchase from a woman who bought a rare mix from a hatchery and they were "filler" birds. His name is Napolean. He is the smallest roo we had with the biggest ego. He totally lives up to his name!

    When your dog thinks he is a chicken

    We have a Great Dane who thinks he is a chicken! He literally drinks out of their water and eats out of their feeders. We have to shoo him away from the chicken treats. Does anyone else have a dog who thinks he/she is a chicken too?
