    Why did my chick die so suddenly?

    My 5 week old barred rock pullet died in my arms today and I have no idea why. I had treated them for coccidiosis about 2-3 weeks ago when I found a bloody poop, but they were all running around and healthy. They have been happily running around, eyes bright and I have been putting them outside...

    Sexing 5 wk old Barred Rocks & Wyandottes

    I have 4-5 week old chicks (4 barred Plymouth rocks and 1 blue gold laced Wyandotte) They came sexed but it isn't 100% so I have been trying to figure it out myself. I had 2 wyandottes but one (Milly) passed away. Wyandottes are one of my favourite breeds so I really hope my remaining...

    Concerned about Mareks...

    My grandparents had two chickens, one of which got sick. They don't really know what they are doing so we took the chicken home (a little Australorp bantam) to nurse it back to health. We kept it completely separate from my chooks, in a cat carrier. We washed our hands very well every time. I...

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    I have 6 chicks (Plymouth rocks and wyandottes) and I found this poop on their heat mat this morning. This is my third brood, and I have never had an issue with coccidiosis in any of my adult chickens, or chicks before... So I don't really know what I am doing... I have begun adding coccidiostat...

    My hen just grew 2 extra toes!?

    I have two Frizzle houdan hens. Recently when they were free roaming I noticed something weird sticking out of my hens foot, so I picked her up and had a closer look. They both have always had 5 toes, that is a breed characteristic, but now on either foot she has six toes. They were never there...

    Is my chicken a hermaphrodite??

    I have a frizzle houdan hen that I bought around two years ago, she layed eggs as usual and acted like a normal hen. But about a year ago her egg laying became inconsistent and now she hardly lays at all. But she makes strange, loud screeching noises has large tail feathers and yesterday I saw...
