    Emergency!

    I'm on day 11 of a hatch. I just candled my eggs and one of the chicks seems to be stuck to the shell! It's moving around for the most part, but doesn't float to the center and back. It stays right where it is. How do I un-stick it? Is it viable? What do I do?

    Why would my flock stop eating?

    I have a flock of about 30 chickens. Over the last few days they've all stopped eating. They free range the back yard and I provide laying pellets and scratch grains. I'm used to seeing nice full almost bulging crops. Now they are all avoiding eating unless I bring them treats from the house...

    Possible Sour Crop HELP

    My poor Rock is SICK! She's been hiding in the coop for 2 days. I forced her out this afternoon and omg I'm scared. Her crop is mushy like really soft clay. Her comb is purple and fallen over. I tried to get her to vomit and a tiny little bit of orange mucus came out but I can't get her to...

    Help! Dog attack..

    My Orpington "Blondie" flew over the fence onto the neighbor's yard while their dogs were out. She survived but has a few deep cuts. I'm bathing her to keep them clean. She's currently in the house in a dog crate to protect against the others from pecking at her. She's eating and drinking, but...

    Dog Attack. Need help

    I nearly died last night when I returned home and couldn't find my chickens in MY yard. After some searching, I find my youngsters hiding behind a pallet leaning against my house with one of my bigger girls. This in itself was odd because the bigger girls and the younger ones formed 2 seperate...

    uhhh... not fully feathered and feathers falling out

    This is Tigerlily. She a 4-week-old Americana. I noticed today that she's losing her feathers and she isn't even fully feathered yet. She's lost 3-4 flight feathers on each wing. Any ideas?

    uhhh... not fully feathered and feathers falling out

    This is Tigerlily. She a 4-week-old Americana. When her feathers started coming in they were poofy not flat like my other chicks. I noticed today that she's loosing her big girl feathers. 3-4 flight feathers on each wing. I know chickens molt, but I think she's just a young for it. Any ideas?

    Shipped eggs/red spot

    I received my silkie eggs today. Ordered 12 got 14. 1 was oozing, but the extras covered it and can't complain. 1 had air cell damage, but after settling for a few hours it resolved. 2 of the eggs have red spots. After reading a bunch of threads about blood spots/meat spots, I still have a...

    Growth Spurt?

    Most of my chicks are 5 weeks old. Between 3 breeds, I've noticed that my rocks are growing faster. They are fully feathered already with my RIR close behind. Anyway, the rocks seem to be growing really, really fast all of the sudden. They have to duck to walk under the perch in the brooder...
