    UPDATE.. I think it's Wry neck. My pullet is acting weird.. Neurological?

    OK, I posted 1 1/2 weeks ago about my 4 month old EE pullet to that was all fluffed up and lethargic and wobbly. I didn't know what was wrong with her so I treated her with VetRX, corid, tylan50 and finally, rooster booster in her water for the last 3 days. The symptoms have disappeared, she...

    I have been using Just One Bite rat bait under my shed, which is attached to the coop and part of the run. There was 1 1/2 bars left under the shed that I pulled out because there had been a skunk going under there and I didnt want the skunk to eat the bait. Well, I put them inside the shed...

    Lethargic RIR, curled toe

    My 3 yr old RIR Rhoda has been acting a bit lethargic the last 3 or 4 days. She still eats and comes running with the other girls when I have treats, but I notice her just standing there kind of spacing out sometimes, and she usually has one of her legs lifted a little and her toes curled. I...

    Who's the daddy??

    My broody just hatched 4 serama eggs for me. Three were given to me by the breeder of the hen I got on 3/10, those were set on 3/12. The 4th was laid on 3/13 and set the same day. I just assumed it would also be fertilized by the roo she had been kept with, but it is almost all black with dark...

    Is anybody else holding a chicken right now?

    I have recently gotten 2 house seramas, a rooster named Buttercup, and his tiny wife TigerLilly. The plan was to put him outside with my hens to help protect them, but my top hen (a barred rock named Pebbles) HATES him, and now, he hates her too, and it is not a battle he can win. So.... until...

    Where do I get netting to cover a run?

    I am contemplating covering parts of my run area with netting or something. I lost my favorite pullet to a hawk Friday, and we saw him sitting at the top of a pine tree Saturday morning, I assume looking for breakfast. I am not sure she was taken in the run, since we let them into the "big...

    One of my pullets is missing :-(

    My broody hatched 3 chicks on July 9. One of them is the sister to my little Tulie, the rooster in my avatar. He was 1/2 silkie and 1/2 d'uccle, and the sweetest chicken I had. I had to "rehome" him last spring, and apparently, I picked the wrong home, because he was killed by predators. I...

    I have a hen that is missing half her feathers on her tail, back, back of head and wings. The damage started from my rooster(s) over a year ago, but I haven't had any roosters for over a month and she looks worse than ever. Somebody has to be plucking her feathers. I haven't noticed any of...

    I want ducks.... sooooo many questions

    I really want to get a couple ducks, but after researching, can't decide which breed is the quietest and tamest. I prefer a smaller size, and wanted call ducks until I heard they were so loud. Is that why they're called "call" ducks? How loud are wood ducks? Teal ducks? I have sooooo many...

    How can I get an outcast chicken to make friends?

    I have a 2 yr old d'uccle, Daisy, who was raised with a silkie, who turned into a roo. They were always together, day and night. The other chickens pretty much ignored her, but occasionally she got "bullied". When they were a year old, I got another silkie who turned out to be a roo (my...
