    My Goose in the Garage

    I had a crazy summer. The day I got home from a vacation in June, my Chinese crested gander, Gossie was attacked by a fox. I felt this sick sense that something was wrong outside. I ran out to find our female goose, Buttercup, by herself in the garage. Gossie was unconscious and being dragged...

    Integrating a Chicken into My Flock

    Hi! I have a 19-20 week old Exchequer Leghorn chick named Lili. I was trying to integrate her and our other chicks into our flock. Everything seemed to be going fine, so after a few days of close observation, I attempted letting her stay with our grown chickens overnight. Unfortunately, she got...

    Wheezing Hen

    I have a four year old wyandotte hen who started wheezing very loud sometime today. Yesterday she was acting completely normal. None of my other chickens are wheezing and everybody seems to be acting normal. I isolated her from the rest of the chickens. She is still eating and acting completely...

    Sleepy, cold, or sick?

    Thank you! Where can you get Corid?

    Sleepy, cold, or sick?

    Where can I get Corid and is it safe for the other chicks to drink as well?

    Sleepy, cold, or sick?

    She has had access to dirt, but they are on medicated food and have been since they hatched. Would that prevent it? She just went outside for the first time yesterday. I haven't noticed any bloody poop.

    Sleepy, cold, or sick?

    I also noticed that a few of the chicks have been sneezing a lot. The welsummer has not really been sneezing, but my black frizzle cochin bantam chick especially, has been sneezing. They are all acting normal, eating and drinking. They are walking, flapping, and scratching through their...

    Sleepy, cold, or sick?

    I have a two and a half week old welsummer chick who is usually very active and curious. It has most of its wing feathers and a couple small tail feathers. She usually spends a lot of time out from under the heat and running around flapping her wings. I found her standing under the heat today...

    Crooked Toe in 9 day old chick

    I have a rooster that has a toe that is exactly like that, except on both feet. I got him as a older chicken and it was too late to fix his toe. If you can fix it, like said above, that would be great, but if not, she/he should be able to live a normal life, with a small limp.

    Two Quick Questions...

    Yeah, they have a much bigger space. I was using the Brinsea EcoGlow Brooder, so I figured she could get away by coming out from under it, but maybe it was getting too hot. I'm sure she was too hot though. The other two got sick and were lethargic, so I wanted to make sure she wasn't getting...

    Two Quick Questions...

    I just recently got ten new chickens, who are about three weeks old (unfortunately two died, but since then, everything has been fine.) I just have two quick questions. I have a white rock, who has many more feathers than the other chicks and she always seems to be hot. I often find her...

    One week old chick dead, one may be sick

    I had these ten baby chicks and they are all 6-7 days old now. There was a White Crested Black Polish, which constantly was getting pasty butt. This morning, she got it again and I was cleaning her up when I noticed she was just sleeping there and when I put her down, she just stood there, I had...

    Blind Chicken?

    I have a chicken with an eye that looks just like that bottom picture. She was injured by a raccoon this summer. She's blind in that eye, but she's perfectly healthy otherwise. She took about a week to get used to it, and now she acts completely normal.
