    URGENT Inner ear or Wry neck?!

    16wk old pullet, normal yesterday morning. Free range on 1/4 privacy fenced acre. Went to put her up last night & she was uncoordinated with a slight head tilt to the right. Put her up in the coop for the night, was even more uncoordinated this AM. I am not convinced that it’s wry neck, as she...

    *URGENT* Duckling with leg issues

    Picked up some chicks yesterday at the feedstore & owner gave me this duckling for free because he isn’t walking & it’s legs stick straight out behind it. I tried hobbles last night after many hours of research & YouTube videos. Woke up this morning & removed the hobbles to evaluate & now it...

    Hens turned bad :(

    I have 6 RSL hens, 19wks old... I've had them all since they were a day old. However, even as chicks they were always standoff-ish and never wanted to be held or anything of the like, no matter how much bribery was done. They are free ranged every day on a 1/4 acre, within my backyard (8ft...

    They're here.........BUT!

    Well, I ordered 10 RSL pullets from Ideal Poultry... However, upon opening the box for inspection from the post office to my surprise there were 25 chicks in the box!!! My immediate thought was what in the hell is THIS?! I called Ideal, they told me that since the weather was cold when they...

    Hello from Texas! New chicken mom here :)

    Good morning everyone! This is my first time raising hens, as I have had broilers for show, and apparently there is a huge difference in raising the two. Raising a large number of broilers at a time for meat & sale is a different process & feeding. We just have a small starter coop for...
