    New chickens teaching bad habits

    We recently got 2 POL chickens to add to our flock. Due to bird flu the news ones had largely been raised in a barn so the first few nights they settled on the floor of the run rather than in the coop. The next few nights they perched in the doorway of the coop so I had to shoo them in to shut...

    Chicken dragging wing

    Hi, I’ve noticed today one of my chickens is dragging her wing. I can’t see anything obviously wrong and she lets me handle her. She is walking around and eating as normal. How do I know if it’s broken or just injured? Is there any treatment I can do?

    hi all, I got 5 chickens (mixed breeds) just over a week ago from a breeder. On the day one was sneezing but assured it was due to torrential rain. Since then they are now all ill with either sneezing or one has swollen eye. Phoned the dealer several times but says it’s just reaction to...
