    Electric Fence?

    Spring is coming, and that means predators are out and about looking for a bite to eat. We free range our chickens, and our property is huge and most of it is hilly. We've had a fox snatch all of our ducks one by one and watched one grab one of our Rhode Island Red pullets in broad daylight...

    Runny Poops!

    Yes, she is the only bird who's been having such liquidous poops, her poops are varied like any normal chicken but when she has diarrhea it's always very distinct like mashed up pellets and water. This morning she has dry normal chicken poops. She just gets a 16% protein layer pellet along with...

    Runny Poops!

    Here's a recent poo that's not runny but squishy, these are also common sorry about it being so graphic. She's also laying eggs like normal

    Runny Poops!

    Runny Poops!

    Hello, one of my chickens has had really runny poops for awhile and only recently striked concern since it's been happening so much and her bum fluff is starting to become poopy, she seems 100% fine, she eats and drinks and preens like any other chicken and shes got a big personality and is very...

    Disease/Illness Preventatives?

    Thanks for all the tips, I'll definitely try out the herb thing! My birds are generally very healthy, getting free range and organic non gmo feeds and vegetable scraps! I've never had mites or internal parasites actually outbreak in my entire flock, was just looking to prevent them! They have...

    Disease/Illness Preventatives?

    Usually I come on here looking for a cure to an illness or an injury, but I'd like to stray away from that as much as I can in the upcoming year! What can I do this spring to make sure my coop is as protected from illness, mites, and diseases as it possibly can be? I know a clean coop is the...

    Poultry Pictures!

    My wonderful little Cece, the one that made me realize there was more to chickens than just a use of breakfast, and that they're so much more affectionate than you'd think! She's 6-7 months and she's the snuggliest little pullet

    Listless Hen!

    Unfortunately she passed away this morning, I'm still unsure what was wrong, I just hope it didn't spread to the rest of the flock. Worms maybe? Rest in peace little one ❤

    Listless Hen!

    Lubricated everything and examined, felt nothing unusual, when I went to examine her she did poop after several hours and it is very liquidy not sure if the photo helps identify anything or not, it is very graphic I do apologize for that.

    Listless Hen!

    Thank you so much! I'll freeze some coconut oil right now and I have some electrolytes in my med kit that I'll give her, however I have't actually seen her poop for awhile now.

    Listless Hen!

    She's now drinking on her own, her eyes and breathing are very clear however she's very weak. I did give her a warm bath and felt around her abdomen for an egg and I don't believe she's egg bound. It could be a crop issue since I only have her a tiny pit of pellets and some peices of cat food...

    Listless Hen!

    Yesterday I went up to care for my chickens (like usual) and noticed one of my leghorn hens acting really sluggish. I scooped her up which was really odd for her because shes a very skittish girl. I grabbed a dog crate and gave her some water with ACV which she did drink but only took a few sips...

    Depressed Chick?

    My first thought was Coccidiosis. How does their poops look, are they runny? Does the weak one have a pale comb? I've had a similar run in with my chicks where they were very lethargic looking and looked really cold, and they unfortunately had Coccidiosis. I'm not sure what stores you have in...

    Roo or 2 pullets? 20 weeks old Speckled Sussex

    Those look like pullets to me! Both have round saddle feathers and appear to be much too mature for any of them to be a late cockerels, as for the little spur, all hens will have those little "buds", some hens even grow spurs themselves! I am by no means an expert but that's just from my...

    1 yr old Rooster Favoring One Foot?

    How high is your perch? He could have flew down and landed on his foot wonky. My buff rock hen did the same thing, since shes a larger bird she hit the ground pretty hard and sprained her foot. Do you have some place you can confine him? I would definitely separate him from the rest of the flock...

    Soft Shelled Egg

    So she's not acting sick or anything and I gave her some oyster shell that she nibbled on a bit but I believe she has passed some broken membrane pieces?? This might have been from another soft shelled egg she laid and then ate. She's totally fine eating, scratching, clucking, drinking but I...
