I noticed the swelling in her cheek about 3 days ago, I originally thought that it might be an infected wasp sting, so I applied antibiotic ointment to the swollen area for a few days with...

    Dead and Missing Chickens

    When I went out to close up the chickens tonight, and 4 of my very favorite hens were missing. I took the flashlight out an looked around anywhere that I could think of as to where they would have gone to roost instead of in the coop. We have a 3 acre field that they are able to free range in...

    Wisdom Needed for Flock Introductions!!!!

    Okay, so if the basic ideas is pretty much the same..... how long would you recommend using the "look but don't touch" method for chicks that are 2 weeks apart, with the younger ones being bantams?

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    The chicks leg function slightly and it almost seems like she could stand up, if not for the position in which her head and neck naturally rest, which is with her neck bent so that her head is almost in between her legs.
