    URGENT Inner ear or Wry neck?!

    16wk old pullet, normal yesterday morning. Free range on 1/4 privacy fenced acre. Went to put her up last night & she was uncoordinated with a slight head tilt to the right. Put her up in the coop for the night, was even more uncoordinated this AM. I am not convinced that it’s wry neck, as she...

    *URGENT* Duckling with leg issues

    Picked up some chicks yesterday at the feedstore & owner gave me this duckling for free because he isn’t walking & it’s legs stick straight out behind it. I tried hobbles last night after many hours of research & YouTube videos. Woke up this morning & removed the hobbles to evaluate & now it...

    Bedding too deep?

    I'll make the adjustments this weekend with the help of my husbands, and they do have roosts, 1sq ft per bird... Can I just put two of the original eggs from earlier in the week in the nest boxes as they are small and probably won't get eaten this go-round.

    Bedding too deep?

    They look like this: Now, haven't secured them but I will try that. They always just dig everything out of them. The bad part about this is, they decided to sleep in the area where the nest boxes *should* go. This is our coop,and you can see on the far end close to the fence where we have...

    Bedding too deep?

    Well, I started out with a nice 3" thick layer of shavings in the girls coop, and added straw to their nest boxes... I came out to check on them the next day and there were two random eggs in the coop - no where near the nest box area. They had completely moved all of the straw and actually...

    Kitten wont eat

    If a cat is having issues breathing through their nose, they tend to have a decreased appetite. I hope everything checks out with kitten. Any possibility of kitten aspirating formula at any point? Any of the other litter mates showing symptoms?

    My hen is crowing???

    So I noticed this morning, my very dominant hen is crowing.... Or trying her very hardest to mimic a rooster, which I do not have. How can I stop this?? All of my other hens are so quiet, except for JuWan (my neice named her). And I know it's a hen because I watched her lay an egg yesterday...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Wasn't prepared to open the coop today and find eggs, I had been putting off putting their best boxes in... I'm not sure how long these have been in the coop, but I might put them in their new best boxes to encourage the other ladies. I'm so excited!!!! I have 6 19wk old RSL...

    Hens turned bad :(

    Thank you! I just hope I'm fast enough to grab them... When I was researching breeds RSL seemed the way to go, so I thought. Little did I know they were going to turn into little a-holes. I wish I would have gone for a different breed.

    Hens turned bad :(

    Gah! It posted before I was done... Anyway. Have I given them too much of MY space? As I cannot even go out into my backyard without them literally attacking me! They also have become incredibly vocal (more so than any chickens I've ever had). They are not laying yet, I need to make some...
