    Wry neck in a silkie!

    hey guys! So one of my silkies came down with wry neck.. bad. Here’s what we’ve done: Day 1 - we saw laying down with her neck drooping like she couldn’t walk. We have her some eggs, confined her with her sister in a cage (they’re inseparable), and then had her drink from water with Apple...

    Ear infection??

    Hey everyone! We have an Andalusian blue pullet and I saw this odd bump in her. Her earlobe is clean, and we have been given her some antibiotics and putting Neosporin on it daily. Seems to have gone down a little bit, but not a lot. But today we saw these weird things attached to her...

    My rooster has stopped crowing.

    My Rooster isn't even a year old, but he's big and healthy and has enjoyed being the ONLY male amongst 23 hens. He has a No-Crow collar because we have crappy neighbors. He still crowed, but it's stifled due to the collar- so all was good. As of two weeks ago, I realized I haven't heard much...

    Bringing new babies to an existing flock.. Fail.

    We got new baby chicks and tried to introduce them to our broody moms. This didn't go to well, luckily no one was injured. [VIDEO]

    Built a gazebo!

    So we built a barn-like outdoor gazebo and finally wired it up. Take a look and let me know! Next will be the new Tiki Torches and the sound system. :)

    Rat-proofing the coop!

    So I saw what I thought were field mice inside the coop with two silkie-cochins and 3 babies. I removed the food and scared them away. Turns out they're rats, since I found a chick missing and only found the legs. :'( Everything was gone: bones, beak, etc. So I redid the coop. Update...

    Started a new YouTube channel for my flock!

    My regular YouTube channel has almost 18,000,000 views, but I didn't want to pull away from its content with a bunch of chicken videos. That being said, I've started a new channel and would love to earn your viewership- please subscribe. :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMNnNuNhKsAVlATtN1YfUJg

    Our first hatch!

    My 2 silky/cochin hens went broody on a few eggs. Only ONE of those eggs were theirs, the other 4 they stole from other nests before I could grab them, lol. The first one hatched today. It's one from one of the red sexlinks. :)...

    Vet says not bumble foot, but abscess.. What do you think?

    Hey there! So here's what's going on: We come from a week vacation and see (photo 1) on our Barred Rock's foot (her name is Pepper). Pic 1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jriy5wipo1j5z8w/File%20Jun%2029%2C%2010%2001%2047%20PM.jpeg?dl=0 I call the most highly recommended avian doc in our city. He...

    What is this poop?

    I've read in a few places that this could be a kidney infection, but then I see it on others that it's just diarrhea. No idea which hen it is. Only the 2nd time I've seen this. It's always on the floor, too. Not the roof of their coop (which they love to roost in). As always, thank you all...

    A different panting question

    Hey everyone! I've been searching the forums and can't find anyone in the same scenario I am in: My chickens pant a lot. Of course they will, I live in Florida and it's June. :( They have LOTS of shade. Under the coops (they're raised), and 8x10 tarp, shrubbery, and underneath the overhang of...

    Rooster takes his collar off

    So our rooster, Stetson Jr (aka Michael Cluck Duncan) has discovered that he can crowd loudly. We have neighbors and don't want to be the bad kind of neighbors, so I ordered a no-crow collar. Meanwhile, I have large cloth velcro straps. He keeps taking it off.. 3 times now. Is the no-crow...

    ⠀ Can they eat this?

    I recently started letting my chickens free range, and saw this around her favorite picking area which is full of other bugs and delicious things for them to eat. I know that they are very good about not eating something that they shouldn't be eating, but how concerned should I be? These are...
