    Hen's head rotating as if tracking a clock's hands.

    This hen is about three years old and lingering in the coop lately. This morning she was in a corner with her head rotating around weirdly as if she was tracking a clock's hands, not keeping her head upright but turning it upside down and continuing round and round. This is very distinct and I...

    12 wk old chick is very weak, one eye swollen shut, odd swellings.

    Yesterday, I noticed this chick apart from the others, one eye was closed, it seemed to not be alert but did hop away from me. I did not notice a breathing issue. Today it was not moving much at all and I was able to pick it up easily. The right eye is swollen shut with swelling below it. The...

    10 meat bird chicks, 5 layer chicks, and one Buff Orpington broody...

    I have chicks arriving soon and one broody. I can not imagine they would all fit under her, but, it would be nice. If not, I would choose which she can adopt and put the others under heat. Or, could I just put the hen and a heat lamp in the same area and figure the chicks would play musical...

Her liver's color is fine, her heart seemed small but I had just been butchering meat birds. So, perhaps it was normal...

    Two hens on chicks in the same pen?

    I had two broodies and put them on chicks on the same day. At the last minute, I thought I should seperate them but the space is much more awkward and smaller that way. Would it cause havoc putting the two families together? The hens are each very protective and I don't know what would happen if...

    compensation for dog killed chickens

    My neighbor's dog just killed six of our chickens. Four were chicks just last year and their eggs have just sized up in the last couple of months. One was an older hen and the other, the roo. My neighbor is quite remorseful and I am wondering what compensation should be asked? I don't want to...

    off white mass inside chicken

    Just slaughtered a healthy looking two year old hen. Her liver was more of an orangy red rather than red and there was also some white masses inside of her ...two about the size of a golf ball and some smaller. They were quite seperate masses from each other enclosed in ...sorry...the stomach...
