    I think she just died...

    Everyone appeared happy and healthy yesterday afternoon. Everyone says my chickens look so healthy. My one-year old SLW laid an egg yesterday morning, there was a little poop on it (usually there's not). This morning the SLW is huddled up in a small spot outside and I pull her out and put her...

    1 chicken - help

    Hello All - I have 5 chickens of various breeds that are 1 year old. Last July they all started laying eggs, but the Black Minorca only laid for 2 weeks and then stopped and hasn't laid since. She is at the bottom of the pecking order, but is never bloody or missing feathers - it's more bark...

    one bird resistant to chicken nipples!

    I have 6 girls that are 7-9 weeks old now outside in a coop with a run. Two weeks ago I put a bucket with 3 of those chicken water nipples in the coop and took out their old bowl. I showed them all how to drink from it and I think they do, except for one. Basically I still have a bowl out in...

    spreading sneezes, but nothing else

    I have two 8 week old RIRs and one started sneezing about 3 weeks ago and still is (I'm not sure if the second one is or not). It's really just a little "chew" sound, but quite she does it frequently like every few minutes. I see no other signs - no runny nose or anything. She is now in the...

Can anyone tell me if the Cuckoo...
