    Seems normal but can't stand up

    As the day has progressed she's walking around a little better. Still not herself, and will just fall right over, but she can stand on her own now. Still not sure what's going on.

    Seems normal but can't stand up

    I can't see anything unusual on her legs/feet. I brought her in the garage and put her in a box with hay, food, and water. She's just chillin, looking around, drinking water like nothing is wrong. A little bit leaning to her side. Sigh.

    Seems normal but can't stand up

    Went out to the coop this afternoon and one of our leghorns was just laying by the coop door. She cannot stand. If I try to help her stand up it seems like her legs are shaking and she just falls over to her side. She does move her toes and tries to keep her feet under her if I help her to...

    Our silkie, she's not a she, is she?

    I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but we're so new to chickens that I thought I'd ask. We have 2 silkies. The black one has always been bigger than the yellow one although they hatched at the same time, middle of June. Now I guess I know why! So if she's really a he, any suggestions...

    Silkie chick: Looks wet but isn't, large lump on neck

    She seems fine otherwise. Eats, plays, walks around. Should I use soap or just rinse her off?

    Help! Our silkie chicks are dying

    Feel free to point me to a different forum if another one is more fitting but since it's about our baby chicks I'm posting here. We got 2 silkie chicks this past Saturday, they're a couple weeks old I would guess. They're teeny. Just as with our past chicks I have them in a large Rubbermaid...

    Building our coop, do's, don'ts, must haves?

    All great ideas! Thanks for the input. We drew and redrew and redrew again but we started building on Saturday and it's coming along. Still trying to decide if we want the whole run covered. The hen house is off the ground so there's some covered space but in the process of buying supplies...

    Building our coop, do's, don'ts, must haves?

    The build is on! We live in central Texas where it's H O T! The coop will be built between 2 trees so there will be some shade. We're incorporating a few ideas found online. Our plans are mostly based off this coop but with a larger run (we have acreage) But the end will be more like...
