My hen, Nugget, is my only white egg layer and I have not gotten any white eggs lately, so I know she has not laid an egg in a while. A few days ago she was acting like she way laying one and never did. She never acted like she had any kind of problem behavior or health wise. Today she was...
My rooster was filling with air under his wings and around his thighs and my brother read up on some stuff and told me to try and massage it and see if it would make him burp it up saying that's what you do if there is air in the crop, but it wasn't in his crop. But I figured it couldn't hurt to...

So I have seven chickens all 15 weeks old [had eight but a raccoon got one :|] and they all get along great except for a little scuffle between hens every once in a while that...
So I'm in urgent need to get these chickens to calm down, they were one week old when we got them and I've had them for two weeks. They've done absolutely fine indoors. We upgraded their box just a few days ago to where they have more than what is required for them at their age. Just tonight...
