One of our barred rocks has been sneezing and then following the sneeze with a loud exhale of breath. She has no other symptoms. Breathing sounds normal, no secretions from her nose or mouth/eyes. Poo looks normal. None of the other chickens are catching it or have it. I put some apple...
For about two months now we have not gotten any good eggs form our 2 ISA Browns. I am not sure if they are molting...every once in a while they will lay a very soft shelled egg and we figured they needed more calcium. We are giving them egg shells and mixing other calcium into their food. We...

I've noticed at "bedtime" that our 4 barred rocks and 1 australorp will surround our 1 buff brahma. We also have 3 leghorns and 2 isa browns. The Isa's are about a year older than the others and we have had them since they were babies...we got the rest of them together and they were born in...
We bought some from TSC and they told us they could be a few different kinds...I'm hoping someone on here may know what they are. There are 3 different kinds in this pic....thanks everyone!
We got 6 chicks from TSC. They are around 2-3 weeks old. One that we have is competely different looking than the other...as far as colors I mean. We noticed last night that she was trying to huddle with the others and seemed to be shivering a bit. She also was not walking around like the...
Hi everyone! We are dealing with our first moulting....at least I believe that is what it is! She is losing feathers all over and she looks like a ball of fluff (on the bottom anyway) My hubby just seen her actually pulling some feathers out herslef...is that normal? Also, how long does it...
I am not sure she is going to make it! The neighbors dog came over onto our property and got her-I found lots of feathers and then my hubby found her. She has puncture wounds from an obvious dog bite and she is still alive. She cannot get up at all and it seems her "butt" is protruding a bit...
My chicken is stumbling/falling. She is a ISA Brown and about 9 months old. She has layed eggs the last couple days as usual, but they have been thin and had like a circle imprinted on them...todays is very weird shaped and still has the circle...what could be wrong??? Please help!
Hello to all! My hens are about 9 months old now and I have some questions about molting. I read that they need a certain amount of hours of light to keep laying...we have been doing that and getting eggs everyday, no probs there. I think I also read though, that if they have that amount of...
We have 5 chickens, 3 ISA Browns and 2 Black Sexlinks. I am wondering a few things as this is our first winter with them! We do have a coop for them, and we do have the light in there so they get 14 hours of daylight. We only have two of them laying right now, waiting on the other three...
