    Something is wrong!

    My 5 month old silkie is stargazing and twitching his head all over the place. I just noticed it this morning. He wasn't like that yesterday. He seems to also have some swelling in the head. He is in the top story of the coop while everyone else is down below looking for leftovers. I'm very...

    Is blackstrap molasses w/ scrambled eggs safe for chickens?

    My EEs are picking on each other and now none of them have their beards and some of them are missing feathers in other areas around their heads and necks. The weird thing is that the feathers haven't grown back and they have been missing them for months. I'm thinking its vitamin deficiency. My...

    Sex my bantams!

    I have six chicks right now (two months old) and I am 99.9% sure that two of them are roosters because both of them crow and they have large combs and waddles as well as a little bit of spur development and red stripping on their legs. The two that I just described are a mottled Cochin bantam...

    Chicken sand box

    Has anyone built a sandbox for their chickens? I was thinking of digging a wide hole and then putting a sandbox in it and mixing some mite treatment in with the sand to prevent mites while they dust bathe in it. What ratio for sand to treatment should I make?

    Salmonella

    Most people wash their hands thoroughly when dealing with their birds as a precaution not to get any bird transmitted diseases and/or bacteria such as salmonella. All of our birds have the potential to give us a few different diseases but how do we know if our chickens actually have salmonella...

    Some beginner questions!

    I was hoping to learn some things about keeping quail. Do they need more or less space than chickens? since they are much smaller I would assume they don't need as much space but then what about the fact that they fly? I was hoping to raise quail for the purpose of eggs but how often do they...

    The beak fell off help!!!!

    I have no idea what happened but part of my chicken's beak is broken off. I think maybe the beak broke when the chicken (named baby) pecked a rock...she's young (less than a year old) so I hope it can grow back but I don't think beaks grow back. The top beak is what is damaged. The bottom beak...

    Raised scales on legs and toes

    My pullets are developing some kind of parasite or something on their feet. Their scales are slightly raised and it seems like they get worse with time. My hens have it severely but I just now noticed it in my pullets. I'll try to get pictures in the morning.
