Hi everyone, I have a 1 month old chick that looks lethargic and wont eat. I was thinking of giving him boiled oregano - the liquid to help as a natural antibiotic because I currently don't have any medicine for them (its been a LONG time since I've had chicks tbh). Is this safe? Has anyone...
Hello friends, this is a tricky situation I have.
I have a 8-9 year old hen, she has had a broken leg in the past that did not heal well and remained with a bend in it. She has been otherwise okay and usually a VERY picky eater but recently she suddenly was sitting a lot, and couldn't eat...
Hello everyone!
So my rooster Francis (the rooster on my profile except he's all grown up and fabulous now) got attacked by two puppies we had (I gave them away) and he got some neck injuries.
Now he was recovering from that and he started eating and drinking on his own again until one of my...
Hi everyone.
So I noticed one of my chicks was looking much bigger than the others and when I grabbed her I noticed how swollen her underside, her chest, and neck were. The area feel very soft as if they are full of liquid, yet she seems absolutely fine and she's eating very well.
None of the...
Hi everyone-

Hey everyone.
I found THIS on the vent of a young silkie rooster I have. I hadn't seen him have any sort of digestive issues or looking ill. I don't know what it is and I'm immediately thinking its worms (now this is me being super scared of parasites).
I bought him from someone at the...
Hey everyone,
My little silkie rooster Tito got attacked last night by a dog. She had him in his mouth but when I checked him he has no punctures nor blood. Right now he can't crow (and oh how he loves to sing) and he's very sad.
What can I do to make him feel better? Please help :hit
Hi everyone:
I have an 11 year old hen, part leghorn, who in her day laid a many eggs. In her old age she stopped laying egg which I understand.
However, she recently (like two days ago) starting laying eggs again, going in the nest box. The first egg was long and thin and oddly shaped. The...
I have a 9 year old half leghorn rooster. He's my senior rooster, the oldest and most responsible with all my hens.
Unfortunately he recently developed what i think is bumble foot and its really bad so I've been doing this salt scrub I saw in an article. But it hasnt gotten better. In fact its...
I have rooster (Francis) that I got a few weeks ago. He was fine and had an astounding appetite- he'd eat anything and everything...literally.
I found him once eating bits of burnt wood and just recently he was eating sand! I'm really worried, I've never had a chicken or rooster with this type...
Hi everyone,
I have a hen that is constantly limping , so I have her sectioned off from the rest. She's the one lowest in the order and roosters I have are constantly chasing her. I figured she must have hurt her leg or sprained it because I dont see any open cuts or anything. Does anyone know...
Hi everyone,
So I've just gotten a new hen (she's a bit young) (Her name is Paulina) and I want her to explore the yard and eat and scavenge and do chicken stuff you know?
I figured she would fit right in but NONE of the hens seem to like her and keep bullying her so much that she goes and...
I have a young chicken (At least I'm hoping its a hen- I have already been deceived) that every time she breathes her entire face bloats up and then sinks back in. She doesn't seem to be wheezing, coughing, nothing from the nose, nothing. I have no idea what's happening and lately she seems to...
