Hi! I’m July we had baby chicks. As of now no new hens matter fact we took away 2 roosters.
As for the hen with the eye infection, she went blind in that eye and has recovered more then well as she has become the new head gancho in charge.
I got nervous when I saw the mucous leave her beak at...
Guys I went to go check on my girls and my barred rock Bandit looked down and mucus came running down her beak. When I picked her up I noticed her comb and face appear swollen and bumpy. I separated her from the flock just incase. I think the sudden dropes in temps are giving them the sniffles...
Also- there is no discharge of any kind leaving her body. I havnt tried rinsing it again in fear that I might be making it worse. She currently isn’t laying which I’m assuming it’s too much energy for her right now.
Hi everyone! I got a chicken who seems to have lost a battle. She’s got a swollen eye, it’s been 3 days since I noticed it! When I first noticed it she would open it, I tried rinsing it with warm water but I may have made it worse because now she won’t open it at all.

REALLY? He's bigger than the other baby chicks that's for sure but he's not that BIG. I feel terrible because I became attached to his little fat behind :/ .thank you for the pointer on the brew, do you have any suggestions on something better?
UGHHH this is awful... Honestly I bought him to see if I could handle raising cornish X because we have Orpington's and they are great at dual breeding. I knew I didn't like that the Cornish X grow so fast that their legs basically collapse but I guess I had to see it for my self.
Hey Guys, I have a baby chick 7 weeks old, Cornish hen male who is struggling with his breathing in his chest/crop area. It seems like fluid at first but now it seems to be swollen. Poor thing is struggling to breath it has to lay on it's side to get relief. On top of growing very quickly. He is...
