    Going through an egg strike, you?

    I have around 25 pullets (probably more), and I am getting ZERO eggs now. Last week, it was 4. Even the ducks aren't laying. Though I'm pretty sure it's bc I havent found their new nest. Maybe. Either way, my girls aren't laying. About 10 of them are 11 months old, a bunch are about 10 months...

    Something stole our eggs and a head

    My broody hen was murdered last night. She was sitting on about 7 or 8 eggs. She was missing her head and neck, and all of her eggs are gone. What kind of predator can do that? And it tried to get into the brooder and now all my baby chicks and 3 guineas have figured out they can escape and they...

    Baby chick food stuck in throat and mouth

    I have this little silver wyandotte cross. Bought 3 different babies from this lady. 2 died and now this one seems to not be able to eat? I scraped out as much as I could without hurting the little one. Dropped a few drops of water in there and afterwards, gently massaged it's throat. It was...

    Saw this mom and her 3 babies cross the road. And when I rolled my window down (was getting my kids at the bus stop) for a better photo, the mom dipped out and flew away. The babies stared at me for a second and then flew off too! I googled and it said wild turkey but idk. What do yall think?

    I have a broody NN silkie mix. This is her, and my, first time with going broody. I want to mark eggs she is sitting on, but am afraid I will break her being broody. She was in nesting box #3 yesterday, but moved to nesting box #2 today. I went over, faced her broody mama wrath, and put her...

    What is this? Extreme pasty butt?

    Got 4 babies at TSC today bc my zombie I hatched was lonely. When I got home and was putting them in the brooder, I noticed the Barred Rock I bought was lethargic. I also noticed a foul smell like something was decaying. I just figured there was a dead animal nearby as I was outside. Nope. When...

    Rooster has a BB in his leg?! Possible bumble too?

    My 1 year old Australorp rooster, aptly named Severus Snape, apparently has a BB stuck in his leg. I am assuming it is from my kids shooting their bb guns when he was chasing hens (he free ranges). Everyone has been reprimanded about using bb's near animals. Anywho. I don't know how to get it...
