    2-day old chick died - did I do something wrong?

    Thank you for your reply! It was indeed her first hatch, but she was showing it how to eat and drink on Sunday. I just never actually saw it follow her example, but mama hen was definitely trying. Maybe you're right and there was something else wrong with the chick. That definitely makes it a...

    2-day old chick died - did I do something wrong?

    Our hen Luna gets broody every month or so, so I decided to let her sit on two fertile eggs from her sister Lizzy.

    Help! Eye infection (?) won't go away

    I really hope someone can offer some advice because I'm running out of options! I should start by saying I live in a rural area in the Philippines without access to a chicken vet, and that I'm fairly new to keeping chickens. About two to three months ago, I found worms in my hen Wendy's poop...
