    Chicken has swollen face. Is it a disease or housing problem?

    Hi everyone. So just today I noticed that my Dorking hen, probably around 5 yrs. old or more, has a pretty swollen face (I’ve attached a picture below). Besides that, she is acting fairly normal, foraging, etc. My concern is that, if it is some sort of disease, the rest of my flock may become...

    1 Chicken killed by hawk, now what?

    Hi guys, I have around 20 hens and a couple roosters (and about 10 ducks) which free range everyday before I put them away at night. Unfortunately, today I was in for an awful surprise. I won't go into detail, but 1 of my Buff Polish hens, which I gave haircuts to often because she just could...

    Any Full Breeds or All Mixed?

    Hi guys, I recently bought 4 beautiful young chickens from a breeder and was wondering if any of them were full breeds. The seller didn't really mention any breeds so I thought maybe one of you could help. If you need better pictures just let me know, this was the best I could do for tonight. I...

    Help with gender of older chicks?

    Hi guys, I have seven chicks right now, six which were sold to me as pullets, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. I would appreciate any help with any of the chicks. Let me know if it is too early to sex them, or if I should retake some pictures as well (they weren't being very photogenic)...

    Mushy Chick Disease???

    Hi everyone, 2 chicken eggs hatched under my pheasant by accident (sometime today, probably a couple of hours ago) and I'm pretty sure one of them has the "Mushy Chick Disease." The eggs were under a pheasant who has been sitting non-fertile eggs of her own for almost a month and a half now...

    Should I help a wild baby goose?

    Hi everyone, I currently have a bunch of wild geese who live in my yard (I have 2 ponds on my property) and they all hatched their young just about 2 weeks ago. However, tonight when I looked into my yard, I saw one of the gooselings laying by itself under a tree in my backyard. It was sick this...

    I think my chick has Coccidiosis. HELP please!

    I just today purchased a Polish chick, 3-weeks old, from a local breeder along with some other chicks. Immediately, I noticed that the chicks had watery droppings, and must not have been kept in very safe conditions. My Polish chick seems to be showing the only real symptoms of being sick. She's...

    Is my chick sick?

    I just recently purchased a 3-week Polish chick from a local hatchery, along with some other chicks, and already I'm noticing some concerns. She seems to be much more lethargic compared to the other chicks, just falling asleep wherever she goes, in the food bowl, etc . I saw her eating, which...

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    One of my hens just recently hatched only one chick, and I'm really hoping it's not a rooster, as I just had to deal with an aggressive one this past month. The chick is 6 days old, and its wings and tail already have a lot of feathering on them- is this a sure sign that it's a female, or can I...
