Hello. Earlier this week i had a back injury that kept me off my feet. My husband took to feeding and watering the chickens and at some point during that time, Ball - my super tiny 18 week old chicken got sick with what i suspect is vent gleet. When i finally got outside again i noticed her...
JUST turned 12 weeks. I assume hen also, she hatched HUGE compared to her hatch mates, since day 1 out of egg she was so much larger and thicker. I was questioning is she was a lil cockerel because she acts like one! She is very much the leader of all the grow outs - and loves to flare up her...

Thank you for this answer. The neighbors have been taking it seriously and could not be more apologetic and hoping that this is the last time it occurs. They have been taking measures to prevent their dog from escaping again, however it is a husky and they are known escape artists sooooo we...
A few weeks ago my neighbors husky got into the yard. It did not get into my chicken run but it sure put them into panic. A few had injured their beaks, i assume from panic flying directly into the walls. 3 had injured their beaks, 2 healed perfectly fine.
However one young hen, Nona, her...
