    Drooping head crossed legs

    That makes sense about her diet. I'll order the KayTee today and tube set if I can't find mine and pick up the vitamin E and B complex. Yeah, I think her crest is a little wonky because her head had mostly been resting on a wash cloth.

    Drooping head crossed legs

    She's only a couple years old. I wanna say around Dec she started to cross her legs. The neck thing is pretty new, like 2 1/2 weeks. Yep, she holds onto roost and my fingers. Her wings work too, she uses them to balance. No paint chips, she's been in the kennel, or trying to walk in my office or...

    Drooping head crossed legs

    This gal has quite a long story, so I will try to be quick. She was being picked on during the winter (and the summer before) and they wouldn't let her up on the roost and she was getting frostbite. So, I put her in a kennel in our heated garage. I noticed one day she had mites, gave her a bath...

    Thin egg whites

    Hi all, my family loves over easy eggs, but a lot of the times they end up breaking when they go to flip them. The yolk really looks nice and is a deep yellow/orange. The whites have always looked thin to me. I feed them Dumor 16% Egg Maxx Pelleted Chicken Feed, mealworms, Dumor 5 grin scratch...

    Rooster Cheek Swollen - Possible Illness

    I have one chicken with the swollen cheek. Eating/acting normally. Do you think I have to isolate her from the others, or just treat them all?

    Introducing rooster to hens

    Hi all, we had 2 roosters get in a fight and one basically lost an eye. We have kept them separate since. However, we are leaving to go on vacation. Problem being we live in MN and the weather is going to get cold again. The coop that the injured roster is does not have heat. His injured eye (I...

I have an automatic door on the coop they sleep in so we don't hear them too early in the morning crowing. However they started roosting at night on top of the chicken coop. Does anyone have any ideas of...
