A few days ago one of my three chickens looked weak. She was sitting on the ground, didn't eat much, seemed to drink more water than normal, and she went to sleep earlier than the other chickens. I thought it could be an egg bound. The next morning I found a weird egg. It was the biggest I had...

I spotted a very small white "parasite" very close to my chicken's eye. It was white and it was smaller than a flea. I barely saw it. Could it be a dangerous parasite? I'm worried because one of my three chickens is looking not very good. I saw her sitting on the ground some days ago. She also...

I have three chickens in my yard. I throw away rotten/wasted/moldy vegetables in the ground and the chickens go there and eat some things. They have their balanced food but still go for the rotten vegetables. I'm worried it could harm their health. That vegetables get very rotten. I put them on...

I have notice just one of the hens drinking much water. The others look normal.

It's winter here, 16 degrees Celsius today. I was more worried about the cold actually, but I'm not sure what's the right temperature for chickens.

Yes, I haven't seen her sitting in the ground again like that other day. But I still see she is not as active as the others. She stays a long time just standing, without eating, scratching her feathers, and she drinks more water than the others. Today I haven't seen her eating at all.

Yes, it is winter. Today is 16 C. I'll check the article and see if I can do that test. Thanks!

Yes, I think they get along. But the one that looked sick is a little more isolated from the rest of the group. It also seems to be the dominant when it's time to eat. Today here it's 16c. It's winter. What's an adequate temperature for chickens?

Yesterday one of my three chickens looked weak. She was sitting on the ground, didn't eat much, seemed to drink more water than normal, and she went to sleep a little earlier than the other chickens. I thought it could be an egg bound. This morning I found a weird egg. It's the biggest I have...

I just found a chicken laid a weird egg today. It's bigger than usual and it has a different colour. Could it be it was a stucked egg? This is a normal egg vs the egg I found today: Could the colour be a symptom?

I found her like this today. In previous days I didn't saw her sitting on the ground like this and being inactive. But I can't be sure she wasn't less active and I just didn't noticed. Yes, she raises her head. Today she was not sitting on the ground all day. She also standed on her feet and...

Here's another picture.

I have three chickens. One of them is inactive. She sits on the ground. She almost doesn't eat anything while the others do. I just noticed it today. What could it be? I don't know what's the race, but here's a picture and video. The English videos and forums I find says egg bound is a common...
