I bought two welsummer chicks amongst my collection of day old chicks 3 years ago, and within the last 6 months, they have both died from the same signs and symptoms... coincidence or what..? they were fairly young? They both went a little paralyzed almost, just didn't care to move, super...
Around 4 PM today I took a nap and when I walked out at 6 my rooster was completely pale in the comb and cold dead... I had moved him earlier this morning into the coop where I house my "rehab" hens, those whom don't get along with everybody becuase they're not aggressive enough to stand their...
I posted a month or so ago, but people thought they were too young to tell, now that they don't look identical and are starting to look a little different I think I may have a breeding pair... but I thought I'd look to you for some advice!! :) I do not know their age but when I posted last month...
I have a hen that has gone broody, which I'm totally cool with and know that the majority of the eggs are probably fertile as we have 3 roosters! My flock of hens can be pretty vicious and she has decided to go broody on the tallest nesting box, so long story short, I'd like to mover her to my...

my self hatched chicks are going on 2 months this weekend... from day 1 one of them has had sticky butt... I have wiped it, bathed it, put vaseline on it... you name it, I've tried it... I can't get rid of his sticky butt.... HES THE ONLY ONE WITH IT!!! will I ever get rid of it... or will this...
So I bought these 8 little suckers at the auction last month (they told me they were 5 weeks when I got them and I have had them for 4) and I believe 5 of them are roos, but they are not crowing yet just super aggressive... :) Everyone else who sees them thinks they're hens, so I figured I'd let...
I incubated eggs, and being the girl I am, got INSTANTLY attached... 2 of my 18 hatches won't put one of their legs down, they're trying to balance on only that one leg.... I did all my research and the only thing that adds up is a slipped achilles tendon but i have continuously tried popping it...
