    **HELP**Lethargic chickens and turkey....

    Hello, I am needing advice/suggestions on figuring out what is wrong with two of my hens and my male turkey. They all seem to be lethargic....standing or even lying down in the daytime in the middle of the yard. (They are free range and roam all day) The two chickens are even closing their...

    **HELP**: Very sick hen with eyes closed

    Thank you for the reply....I did read that it was rare and none of our other chickens seem to be exhibiting the same signs...making me think it was just her. I will call the vet in the morning. Hopefully they can get it figured out. Thanks again.

    **HELP**: Very sick hen with eyes closed

    She also has water poop with white and green in it. I cleaned her vent out...she did look a little blocked but I thought if that was the only problem, she wouldn't be having the throat symptoms.

    **HELP**: Very sick hen with eyes closed

    She can stand, but is wobbly and would rather just sit. She does not have any crustiness or secretions from eyes and nose. An update since earlier: She is opening one eye and eating and drinking!! So wonderful but at the same time she still seems to be struggling. I have noticed she is shaking...

    These are pictures of my hen that has been having some problems for several days now and took a serious turn for the worse this morning, when I found her sitting in the middle of the chicken house with her eyes closed and she wouldn't move. We noticed about a week ago she was walking funny and...

    **HELP***Brand new Chick pecked by it's mom who has other chick/eggs

    Just a note...I did go ahead and bring the chick in and put it under heat lamp. Also, a few days ago, another egg had hatched and we found a very new dead chick by her. The feathers were not fluffed and it also had something happen to its head. Could she really be trying to kill these chicks...

    **HELP***Brand new Chick pecked by it's mom who has other chick/eggs

    Hello, I have a very confusing situation. I have a mama hen who has been sitting for almost 2 months. She had one chick hatch about 3-4 weeks ago, but continued to get eggs that were at different stages. She was sitting on 5 eggs that we had no idea the stages of. I candled them and could see...

    Polish Crested or Frizzle Hens...

    I am also looking for either a Narragansett or Bronze turkey hen. We have a male Narragansett and trying to find a mate. As long as the hen is at least 6 months or so, old enough it can safely be with our older gobbler. Let me know if you have one you are interested in selling and the price.

    Polish Crested or Frizzle Hens...

    I am looking for 1 or2 polish crested hens and/or 1 or2 frizzle hens. They do not have to be older, just old enough to be out on their own outside and in the coop. We currently have 2 polish crested hens...not much more than 2 months old. My son lost one and is really hoping for another and both...

    Cold weather...is my chick old enough to be in chicken house...no hen with it.

    How old til the chick can handle being in the chicken house during cold temps? Our chicken house is sealed up pretty good...but has a few drafts.

    Cold weather...is my chick old enough to be in chicken house...no hen with it.

    Hi, I am having a dilema with our baby chick. There were 2 and its hatch mate died overnight, so it is now alone. None of our mama hens will take it in as their own, so it is just in the chicken house. My concern is that it is getting cold....below 30 degrees here and am wondering if the...

    Hi, I have some questions about 2 baby chicks I have raised. We raised them from the day they hatched and they have just recently went into the chicken house. Not sure how old...probably close to 2 months. I found one of them dead this morning in the chicken house. I noticed before I put them...

    ****HELP****Egg Bound/Partial Prolapse

    Hello, I am needing advice on one of my hens who is partially egg bound/and maybe prolapsed. She had the egg shell hanging off her rear, and it is now gone, but what is left is the soft, rubbery part of the egg. It is hanging out her vent, which is protruded out. She is not fully prolapsed, as...

    Hello, I have a very unique situation and hoping someone on here could shed some light on it. We just lost our turkey hen today with her 9 babies. She had 2 eggs left on her nest, so we decided to put them under our broody chicken, who is also sitting on 5 chicken eggs. We have no idea when...
