One of our barred rocks has been sneezing and then following the sneeze with a loud exhale of breath. She has no other symptoms. Breathing sounds normal, no secretions from her nose or mouth/eyes. Poo looks normal. None of the other chickens are catching it or have it. I put some apple...
Yep---it is hard! Um, not sure which end comes out first, sorry. It does look and feel very cool. they basically just get their regular food and once in a while we give them some treats like some greens or fruits-watermelon, lettuce, yogurt, broccoli, etc. No golf balls either! LOL:lol:
Thank you for the replies....the two chickens are on the layers feed as well as the oyster shell...we mix it in with their food and also give them some as a treat at least once a week. I will try the tums trick though-thanks! This is the first time that we have gotten this type of...
For about two months now we have not gotten any good eggs form our 2 ISA Browns. I am not sure if they are molting...every once in a while they will lay a very soft shelled egg and we figured they needed more calcium. We are giving them egg shells and mixing other calcium into their food. We...

I've noticed at "bedtime" that our 4 barred rocks and 1 australorp will surround our 1 buff brahma. We also have 3 leghorns and 2 isa browns. The Isa's are about a year older than the others and we have had them since they were babies...we got the rest of them together and they were born in...
We bought some from TSC and they told us they could be a few different kinds...I'm hoping someone on here may know what they are. There are 3 different kinds in this pic....thanks everyone!
We got 6 chicks from TSC. They are around 2-3 weeks old. One that we have is competely different looking than the other...as far as colors I mean. We noticed last night that she was trying to huddle with the others and seemed to be shivering a bit. She also was not walking around like the...
Hi everyone! We are dealing with our first moulting....at least I believe that is what it is! She is losing feathers all over and she looks like a ball of fluff (on the bottom anyway) My hubby just seen her actually pulling some feathers out herslef...is that normal? Also, how long does it...
Unfortunately she just died. It was peacefully at least. I am so sad....she must have had internal injuries. We are going to go confront our neighbor-this is not the first time their dog has come into our yard. We will be nice of course, but I am still so upset! We have had no problems with...
