I may have had this problem before...
I have a Rhode Island Red, Ginger, and she isn't acting normal... She isn't moving as fast and has her eyes closed a lot. She is very strong chicken so this is strange. I was away for a few days and one of my family members gave them extra amounts of...
Help! My 2 and a half yr oldbarred rock, Rosie, is not acting like her normal self. She was just fine two days ago. She just stands and her eyes are either closed or half closed. It scares me because this is what happened to my white leghorn and she died. This was maybe half a year ago or even...
This is sorta unrelated to the whole Backyard Chicken website but, I love horses. I hoping to get one around 14 or 15 when I can actually support it by working. My parents are going to pay for part of it. I am want to buy a good all- around family horse, no shows or anything. So like no foo-foo...
Hello,
My brown leg horn hasn't been doing so good for a couple of months. We took her to the doctor and they weren't really sure what was wrong with her. But they did give us some medicine. (I don't remember the name and I can't pronounce it!) So we gave that to her and she was fine. We kept...
Hi,
One of my brown leghorn doesn't look very good. She won't come off the roost to eat some scratch I gave my other chickens. My other chickens look fine and healthy. When she wouldn't come down from the roost I hand fed her some feed and she ate that. We had to go inside for the night so I put...
Hello,
I am thinking about getting some eggs for Easter. I will buy them from Murray McMurray Hatchery, but I don't really know how to hatch eggs. I know that they will hatch in 21 days and you half to turn them 2 times a day. I don't really know the temperature of what they need to be...
Hi,
I have 6 chickens and 2 of them are Araucanas.(sorry don't know how to spell) I have noticed they are not laying their normal green, blue, and pink eggs. They are acting like there normal selves, but I live in Alaska so maybe they are meant for being tropical birds. I don't know. I know...
There has been a ermine that has attacked one of my chickens and I want to set a trap to, you know,. Does anybody know a trap or way to get rid of it.
Thanks,
Chicken Gal
I have a aracuna (don't know how to spell ) and she has no feathers on her neck. But I have a brown leghorn and I noticed that she is the one pecking her. How can I stop that?
Thanks...
Hi,
My chicken, Ginger, a Rhode Island red hen had blood on her foot. I noticed while I was giving them some bread, that there was blood on the ground and I looked at all of my chickens carefully and I saw some blood on Ginger's foot. Then I looked around and I saw like a trail of blood...

P.S. I want this breed to be nice
Hi,
I noticed that my chicken, Tulip, is pecking on my other chickens. When the other chickens come close to her she chases them away when I feed them scratch. She is a white leghorn and she is about 10 months old. I am worried I might have to give her away. Will I have to? I really hope not...
Hi,
My chicken has no feathers above her eyes. I am worried she a has a disease. But I am also think she is getting picked. She is an Auracuna. (don't know how to spell it) I hope she is ok. I might get her in a big cardboard box and keep her in my garage or in my bathroom. I would let her out...
Hi,
I am thinking of getting another chick. What one should I get? I already have 6. I want one unique. But not a naked neck or anything like that. I want one that is good with cold weather. And not one to jumpy. Just a calm one good with children. But not like there is any difference. I am...
You know you want to tell the story about the time the chicken flew on your head or what ever!! Share a happy, sad, funny, or nerve-racking story about your chicken(s). I've had some funny times with my chickens and I bet you have too! So just have fun with it. But tell me if you want to anouce...
ME WANT SILKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want a silkie. I've heard that they are really nice. Any more facts I need to know before getting one.
Thanks!!!
I really want pheasants. I've heard that chickens and pheasants don't do good with each other. Is that true? Pheasants are so pretty. I am asking this beacause me and my dad want pheasants. It was hard setting up the chickens. Fencing, but the coop, insulating it, electric- fence, and the heat...
I love my chickens. And I think they like me. But when they see my hands coming they run away. Is there any way to make your chickens like to be held? What breeds do you have?
