Something is happening that’s causing my hens to become partially paralyzed. Two have died and now this morning, another is limping. This is only affecting the hens that are Easter Eggers. Several weeks ago I found one just dead and removed her. A few days later, another hen was not using her...

I really don’t think I have the heart to willingly put a this hen down but I am at a loss... I want to figure out if there is anything whatsoever I can do otherwise. I noticed the she wasn’t using her left leg at all and was holding it out in front of her almost two weeks ago. The other...

Pictures are at the bottom I’ve had this Black Sumatran hen that was given to me for at least 6 months now(I think it’s been longer) Ever since i got her, she’s been bald on the back of her neck. I assumed this was from a rooster aggressively mating. I waited and waited and there was no signs of...

She is about 4 months old.

i just integrated these 5 young ones in with three adult hens. They are all hens. The young ones are 4 months old. They hold their mouths open a lot and kind of pant. I figured they where hot but the adult ones don’t do it like they do... they have all been together for a week now. Is this...

I have some Corid and Ridzol on hand

I have two ducks that are basically pooping water. They act and behave otherwise fine, quacking, walking about, eating, and drinking normally. I don’t see any other signs or symptoms. Included are some pictures of them and their poo. I have them quarantined on a raised pin in my garage so...

I’m at my wits end... It seems im running a chicken gladiator arena. I have 8 hens total. Several Hens have bald spots and blood has been drawn a few times. I’ve posted about the violence between two of my adult hens, I’ve tried the advice to segregate the aggressor(Black Sumatran) in a pin...

You ever get to draw anything up?

You know of any videos or articles showing how to do this?

I’m going to to 72” high. I want to minimize that chance of escape as much as possible. It’s to keep chickens, ducks, and small dogs in. I’m confident my smallest dog could get trough an opening 4”x4”. I won’t need gates because I’m going to do a privacy fence on the front side. It’s going to...
