    Sick chicken

    More than a month ago one of my chickens seemed very sick. She was having trouble standing up and was very lethargic. I took her to the vet and the vet found nothing wrong except noted she seemed underweight. She suspected it could be cancer and failure to thrive because of cancer. She sent me...

    In need of a few chicks or chickens

    Yes however due to Newcastle chicks are not being sold. I was hoping to connect with someone who wants to reduce their flock. Sadly I will probably need to regime mine soon if I can’t get a few more.

    In need of a few chicks or chickens

    I have only 2 chickens and one is not doing well. The Vet who examined her didn’t find anything wrong except she was underweight. She suspected cancer. I may soon have only one chicken so I am in search of someone wishing to re-home some chickens or baby chicks. The big problem is I live in...

    Chicken with diarrhea for weeks

    Free chickens

    I have one Silver laced Wyandotte (2 years old), two Golden laced Wyandottes ( 6 months old) and one Easter Egger (6 months, just started laying) that I need to give away. With two laying the noise has increased and when all four are laying, I know it will be a nuisance to my neighbors. I live...

    Serious Moulting

    Not only does my wyandotte have that bald patch on her back, she is also bald on the sides of her bottom. The feathers she has are fluffy and broken off at the ends. Her behavior has never changed and neither has her appetite. I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.
