Hi Guys,
My two chickens have been brutally killed in last two days, one was a pretty healthy egg layer :(
I have 6 feet tall fence, then again 6 feet tall kennel inside the yard, this thing (thinking Bob Cat most likely), coming very clean and snatching the chicken and just outside the yard...
I have few Barred Rocks in my flock around 11-12 weeks, one recently died after having breathing problems, her mouth was constantly open and she was breathing heavily; but she died in matter of 2-3 days.
Another of same age suddenly had one side of the head acting bad, she can't open her eyes...
I have 10 of these Rhode Island Reds (atleast thats what I've been told, that they are purebred RIR and definite pullets) but I'm not sure by looking at them, mostly they all look like these two, here are some pics of two of them.
Help is appreciated always...
Hi,
I have this barred rock around year old, I bought this around 1.5 months back.
But she did not lay a single egg till now, I thought she might be molting, but I don't see much evidence, few feather some times I see here and there from her; but she was never heavily molted (without...
Hi all,
I've some mix breeds 1 Americana, 1 RIR, 2 BRs, 1 Black Star, and recently boughts 3 Buff Orphingtons,
they usually get picked by everybody else, they are around 22 weeks old, and I just saw today one of them has been badly hurt neck, looks like the feathers are brutally un-plucked...
Its a saddest day of my life, I've been raising couple of babies and they were now around 1.5 to 2 months old, I recently moved them outside in a sheltered area (about 1.5 weeks back).
This one is from yesterday morning... he/she was perfectly fine and healthy.
All of sudden when I went to...
I have one RIR she started laying within a month or so, I am gradually seeing little bigger eggs now. But wondering why she is not consistent, rightnow laying every two days after or more.
Is it normal for new layers?
I'm new to chickens, but here they are Black Star and Americana, I am not understanding why Americana does that to her, I saw that several times, just between the two; any information?
I have this pullet, she is around 4 months old, looks healthy, running around and eating ok.
but she has this curl toes, I read that this might be a birth defect, but will this affect other things, like egg laying?
Hi Guys,
I bought couple of chickens last night, two of them are BRs and 9-10 months old as they told me.
But it seems to me that they might be sick, but how bad it could be? or it might affect others, just need some help.
Bit heart broken since I drove to their farm for 1.5 hrs one way...
