    Chicken is stiff, losing weight, not eating, diarrhea

    Hi - My Orpington hen of 4 yrs recently started showing signs of stiffness while walking, some imbalance, diarrhea, and is not eating/losing weight. She seems interested in food, but doesn't eat. The only thing I can think of is that it snowed a good amount while we were out of town, but its...

    Double Checking Gender

    Hi! A couple weeks ago I posted a photo of the chicks I raised in hopes of knowing their gender! This chick in particular was hard to decide so here are some new pictures from a few weeks later just to be sure. I hope we can figure this out! Thanks! Edit : age 10 weeks

    Chicken Cough?

    Hi, I am wondering about something that sounds like a cough that came from my two of my chickens (see here for recording: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7RsPFrrpnhB1HrpS8 ).
