    PLEASE HELP MY SICK PARAKEET!

    I bought a parakeet nearly two weeks ago and have yet spent over $200 on vet bills trying to get him better. He is so uncoordinated and he falls over every time he tries to walk. The vet suspected that he had an upper respiratory infection and we treated him for it. It didn't work. He is now...

    Odd Behaviors

    My little laying bantam has started acting odd these last few days. The two hens she grew up with are now picking on her and she hasn't laid an egg in a couple days. She now sits up in a nesting box and broods all day long. She doesn't even lay on an egg all the time. I'm worried because she's...

    The Hen Squat

    Hi there, I am semi new at the art of backyard chickening and I have a couple of hens that act kind of odd when I go to pet them. If I move too fast, they squat down and don't move... Its like they are paralyzed in a way. Is that a normal thing to do??

    I think one of my babies is about to lay for the first time, HELP!

    She has a dark cone, is making God awful noises sounding like she is growling, and cannot stay still. She goes into the upstairs nesting box, then back down and paces. She has been repeating this for the last half hour or so. I am a new Momma and I need help, I'm kinda freaking out a bit haha...

    Help! What in the world is this little girl??

    This is Eagle. I have one guess as to what she is but I'm not totally sure. I have seen Silver Laced Wyandottes and she looks a lot like that but she has more of a fluffy chest. Any info would be great and appreciated info :)

    Merick's Disease

    My chick just passed away and I need to know if it was Merick's disease or not and how to treat it if so. She was very sleepy and was completely limp and she wouldn't stand under the heat. Does anyone have any experience with that or have any idea of what it might have been? I don't want the...

    It's time to let go. Then again... Maybe not :/

    I am trying to raise a flock of backyard chickens but I am having a bit of an issue letting go. I have a cat who loves to kill wild birds and I am just so afraid of him getting ahold to one of my babies. I just don't know if it's a good idea at all where I am. Any advice would be very welcomed...

    Waiting... a little impatiently

    So I'm not totally sure how old my 1st flock is but I guess that they are about 13 weeks today. I have two Leghorns, two aracauna banies, and a Rhode Island Red. All hens but 1 Araucana. I am about to expire from all the anticipation waiting for their first lay! How long should I be waiting for...

    Very Sick Chick

    My Rhode Island Red chick is very lethargic and off balance and has been sleeping almost all morning. She won't stand long and when she does she is wobbly and falls down right after she stands. Right now she is sleeping, wrapped up on my chest. I couldn't even imagine what it could be. I started...
