    Hen Panting and Won't stand up

    We live in a neighborhood and got a letter about our 10 weeds out front so my husband purchased weed and feed for the front lawn. I was assuming he was only using it out front. He got up really early this morning and went out and spread the weed and feed. He decided that he would just do the...

    Hen Panting and Won't stand up

    She is gone. :( Not sure why my husband thought it was okay to put that around their coop. This is our first chicken that we have lost.

    Hen Panting and Won't stand up

    I have a 18 week red sex link. She was fine this morning but now won't stand and is panting. My husband laid down weed and feed all around thier coop and I believe that she might have eaten it. Could this be the cause? Is there anything I can do?

    What would you do???

    Right now I have 10 chickens. I believe that 3 are cockerels. They are about 6 weeks old. I am wanting to replace the cockerels with pullets/hens. I live close to Dunlap hatchery and they are selling all their laying hens for $6 or I can also get red sex links from a farm for $6 that are 7 weeks...

    6 Week Old Chick injured leg

    One of my chicks got out of the run. Finally found her. She has some dry blood on her wing but I don't think the blood is coming from her wing. She is also limping. What do I need to do?

    Do you have a picture of the type of feeder you suggest? That is good to know. I just didn't know if you could over feed chickens,

    You can see the food all around the feeder. Not even 2 hours ago the bottle was halfway full. Little chicks looking so innocent.

    Food getting everywhere *update with another question*

    I have a round feeder with holes all around. Then it has a bottle that screws into the middle. I have it raised on a 2x4. I fill up the bottle and they just get it everywhere. I don't mind all the food if they are eating it but it just seem to go to waste. I'll try to get a picture.

    Food getting everywhere *update with another question*

    **I have started using a big lid underneath their food and it has been working great. My next question is how much do they need to eat? I am starting to have to refill their feeder everyday. They are now about 3.5 weeks and we have 10 chicks. I have enough food I just don't want to over feed.**...
