Just a year old

This morning when I let my chickens out I noticed that instead of his usual chatter my rooster could barely squeak put some weak sounds, and each of his breaths sounds like a wheeze. He also hasn't crowed today. Other than that he's is normal self but I'm worried about him. Does anyone know what...

Thank you for the reply, but I just picked her up and she's dead.

I just noticed that one of my turkey poults is very lethargic and unresponsive, her head droops when I pick her up and it looks like she's having trouble breathing, I don't know what to do

Hi, I have a turkey that just hatched a little early and I noticed a red bulge on it's behind, is this normal?

I know this thread is a little old, but I was wondering if you had any pictures of what you did with the cat bed to be able to have the chicks on the bed with you? I have some chicks that are very close to hatching that I'd love to try this with. Thanks!

I have one broody hen, and one not. When the non broody hen lays eggs, the broody takes them. I went out today to take one of the eggs she recently laid, and when I reached under to take the egg, I took my hand out and it was covered in blood. We ended up picking up the hen and finding a huge...

I have an 8 month old silkie rooster named Nugget, and I'm wondering if anyone here to me can figure out and explain how he feels about me. Every time he sees me, he gets excited and starts pacing against the fence trying to get to me, but his hackles aren't flared, and when I step into the...

Hi, as the title suggests, I'm wondering if a broody hen will suddenly decide she doesn't want to sit on eggs anymore, and stop. I've never had a broody hen before so bear with me. Also, if the chicks do hatch, would it be better to leave them with her, or take them and keep them in a brooder...

Like the title says, my favorite little rooster, Nugget, doesn't crow when I'm with him, but as soon as I leave and go back inside my house, he crows incessantly. It's not really a problem, I'm just wondering why.

Hey there, I have a partridge rooster who has just developed all green tail feathers. He's about 5 months old and I was wondering if this was part of the normal partridge coloring.

Hi there! I came here to ask about this since I've seen conflicting information online and I wanted to hopefully clarify. My 5 month old silkie rooster, Nugget, turns side ways and shimmies at me for a few seconds, then tried again when I push him away before giving up. Some people say this is...

Hi there, I've got a few silkie chickens and two roosters, I just found out about the second today. The second, Nugget, is very nice and never pecks at me but fights with my bigger rooster. Should I separate them now, or can I wait longer? They're only about 4 months old and the fighting is only...

My silkie rooster is only about 3 months old, and he started crowing today but only a few times, and he hasn't again. Is he not fully ready yet or since he already has will he be crowing every day?

Hi, I'm looking for a modern game bantam that can preferably be shipped. Thank you!
