    Emergency - Rescued baby pheasants not doing well

    We rescued 2 little baby pheasants yesterday and they are not doing too well now. They are sleeping all the time, very slow breathing. Right now they are on a heating pad and wrapped up to keep warm. They look to be maybe a week old. (or less) we have high protein chick starter for them but they...

    Why are my chickens dying?

    As of now I have lost 5 chickens all in the same way and I can't figure out why! The night before they seem sleepy and slow and they find it hard to jump up the step into the coop, I end up having to pick then up and put them in. Today 2 of them where all huddled up with they're eyes closed and...

    Mixing broody hen and older chicks?

    Hello! I have a cranky old broody hen on my hands. With no rooster there is no way for her to get what she wants naturally. She seems like she is in a lot of pain so I want to help her get over it. I have chicks that I got at the end of May (it being September 2nd now) so they are not little and...

    Chicken seems egg bound and in a lot of pain

    Hi, my hen has had egg bound like symptoms for the past couple of days. Yesterday she stayed in the coop all day and when you try to touch her she puffs up and cries out. The weird thing is, if you pick her up and put her outside she will walk around almost like normal, she are this morning...

    Integrating birds

    Hi! I have 6 roughly 12 week old heritage birds. I am very scared to mix them in with the other hens because they still seem too small. They have all their grown up feathers and just need to grow a bit more, but they are not even close to the size of the big hens. They have been in the same coop...

    My chickens stopped laying!

    For the past couple of weeks my chickens have stopped laying completely! They recently got new laying boxes and were fine for a few weeks and then they stopped laying, then started again, then stopped completely. It's been close to a month! I keep trying to think of what could have caused this...

    How do chicks and hens get along?

    In the spring I will be getting another round of chicks, yet at the same time keeping my old ones. I've had my brown Laying hens for almost a year and was wondering how well they will get along with new chicks. I don't want them to hurt them, cause I know how heartless they can be sometimes. If...

    Snow drifting into coop?

    At the moment we are having a really bad snow storm, the wind is crazy. I checked the coop and about an inch of snow has somehow found it's way inside, right in the corners. I added more hay and put Vaseline on their combs to prevent frostbite. I can't see what else I can do, they have been fine...

    Speckled eggs?

    I was wondering what the cause of the speckles on eggs are. Are they tiny spots of blood or are they some some of mineral buildup. Today I got an egg that had big spots of dried red stuff on it, I think that was blood. I think it was because it's been a cold winter and they haven't been laying...

    Chicken not taking to the cold? Need advice.

    Where I live it has just got really cold, really quickly. There was just a storm that put down about a foot or two of snow. All of my chickens seemed pretty okay with it, the only thing was they didn't want to go outside. One of them however, was acting a bit off. For the past couple of days she...

    Did I get meat hens!?

    We bought five white hens a while back. They are just reaching the point now where they should be starting to lay. We have been noticing thing lately that don't seem right though. For one, our hens are huge! They eat like crazy and are really thick, almost like you could have one for dinner...
