oh ok...i'm getting worried because their water is the same as i saw it yesterday... can i force them to drink it?

I think my chickens are molting but they don't seem to be eating or drinking anything. Is this normal for molting? Also they stopped laying eggs...any help would be great. Thank you!

I have a white brahma hen about 13 weeks old and she is so mean! She picks and attacks my other chickens: 1 is a road island red hen and the other is a rooster! She even attacks my roo!! Is that normal? I can't have roosters in my house so I have to get rid of him soon but I am thinking about...

No!!!!! dang...i really don't want to give him away...his personality is so cute. bah...i guess it's time to say good bye.

I bought a black australorp about 3 months ago (12 weeks old) and she was supposed to be a girl. Now that she (or he) is growing up I don't know which it is anymore. Can anyone help please? also it made a funny noise today...sorta like a small trumpet...or a kazoo

just got another chick the other day and her wings are down. why is that? when she sleeps she sleeps near the light so i figured she can't be hot... is she sick? or are her wings just too heavy for her? should i try clipping her wings?

THANK YOU!!! I was really getting worried especially since she wasn't growing as fast as the other chick her age. and the fact that her wings are small for her size. I hope it is just bc she was sick and is just growing slower. Thank you!!!

My Brahma chick was acting sick about a 2 weeks ago, but it survived. It is 3 weeks now and it hasn't grown all that big. It is the same size as my 2 week old chick and it's right side of the chest is so much bigger than the left. It should be even right? and its wings are growing either. Like...
