Hi everyone, I've been noticing lately with my birds that they all seem to have runny bottoms. It's not a lot but its enough for me to notice. Only one of my hens seems build up a lot on her bottom. About a year ago I changed their feed to what I though was a better quality feed, and all this...
My 4 year old easter egger suddenly became lethargic yesterday. I haven't had any issues with her up until this point and she was even still laying eggs basically every few days or every other day. I brought her inside and to soak her, and I didn't feel any eggs inside her but her belly did feel...
Hi everyone, I noticed my red sex-link has been acting semi lethargic for the past few days. Now I say semi lethargic because she is acting some what aware of her surroundings and will still come to the gate to be let outside does come running for treats and her comb and wattels are still red...
Hi everyone, my black copper maran has always seemed to lay eggs with meat spots in it. Sometimes it a lot sometimes it's a little but it always seems like she lays an egg with an imperfection inside it. I really don't think I've ever gotten an egg without something in it, she's a little over a...
Hello everyone, again I have attached some graphic pictures but I have a bit of a crisis. One of my hens about a year and a half old was having a hard time passing an egg. So I soaked her twice this morning about 20 minutes each time and finally after the second time she passed what looked like...
Hi everyone, I have a flock of 12 birds all different breeds 3 are a year old and 9 of them are 2 1/2 years old. Also I only have one bantam black Cochin frizzle. I've noticed lately that my copper maran hasn't been laying any eggs and she's acting very slow. She does eat and drink regularly and...
If anyone in the Hudson Valley area is interested I have some 9 month old hens for sale. I have 3 (straight feathered) Black Frizzle Cochin Bantam hens for $15 each. Which means their feathers didn't frizzle but can be bread with a frizzle rooster to get frizzle offspring. They lay very tiny...
Hi everyone, my 1 1/2 year old Easter egger hen is making strange noises. She'll stretch her neck out and make one loud squawk. I'm not sure if this is a normal noise I've never heard it before. Other then that she's acting very normal. I attached a video hopefully it works because it's hard to...
Hi everyone, so last week I received my order of chicks from mypetchicken. One of the chicks came with a swollen eye. I already had vetericyn so I decided to try to treat it as an injury first instead of an infection. It's slowly progressing, and all of the other chicks are healthy with no...
Hey everyone, so my duck decided she wanted to go broody! This is my first time with anything going broody so I'm not sure what I need to do. Right now we're on day 4, so I candled one of the eggs and we're progressing well! Is there anything I should be doing for my duck? Is there anything I...
Hey everyone, I seem to be having a problem with my chickens that I just can't solve. Recently my chickens have become EXTREMELY noisy. I don't mind the usual sounds, but they have gotten into screaming at the top of their lungs almost to the point of honking geese. I usually wouldn't mind this...
Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old hen who is moving very slow and she's puffing her feathers up. This has been going on for a few days now. I believe she's a dark Cornish. Last time this happened to me it was my red sexlink hen and she was egg bound. I did everything I was supposed to do and the...
Hi there everyone I'm new to ducks, and my coop got attacked by a sneaky predator and I lost two chickens. I also noticed my duck was covered in blood but still alive. So I brought her inside, cleaned her up, and filled up the bathtub to let her clean herself and she did. She has a patch of...
Hi everyone, my red sexlink is acting really funny. Shes only 8 months old. She's moving really slow not really eating or drinking. I let them out to free range today and she could care less. She's just sitting around doing nothing. I see no bugs or cuts on her, and her vent isn't clogged but it...
Hi everyone, my easter egger hen is bleeding on her foot. I soaked her in some salt water and I'm not really sure what to do next. It seems to be slowing down. Should I put some neosporin on it or just leave it alone? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
So I don't know how else to put this but I don't own any ducks just chickens, and I go down to the coop last night to lock up and theres a duck in my coop! He decided that he is happy here and doesn't want to leave. So I went out today and bought him a kiddie pool, and he loveeeeeeeeees it! None...
Hi everyone, I need help figuring out some of my pullets breeds. I ordered certain breeds, but I also ordered the rainbow layer assortment and they don't tell you what you're going to get.
The first two pictures are the same bird it was dark in the coop.
I'm thinking this is a red...
I live in Hudson Valley New York and I'm looking to buy only a few laying hens. I currently have 17 pullets that are 9 weeks old, but I have a adult rooster with no hens of age for him. I'm looking for anything that is between 5 months old and a year. I would prefer breeds that lay blue to green...
Hi everyone, I just rescued a Rhode Island Red Rooster from an animal horder. I have no idea how old he is, definitely over a year. The problem I have is he will not shut up. Sometimes he crows every five to ten minutes, and sometimes he's a good boy and waits for every 20 minutes. I can no...
Hi everyone, I am just having no luck with my new chicks! There hasn't been anymore deaths, but now one of my smaller chicks started to limp today. I think it's because the bigger ones jumped on her. There's plenty of space to run around they just choose to jump on each other. She can walk on it...
