    One of my Isa Brown hens is acting really strange (in a bad way) and I dont know what to do

    I found one of my Isa Brown hens (about 1.5 years old) on the floor this morning. She was on her back, with her eyes closed. She had her legs fully extended out. What’s wrong with her, can it spread to the other chickens, and how do I treat it? I will post pictures if needed

    What’s wrong with my Buff Orpington hen?

    She has been like this for about a day, except today she is more sluggish than yesterday. She is about 1 year old. She has had her head tucked in like this for most of yesterday and all of today. Her friend is hanging around her a lot, which I have heard is a bad sign. Thanks for any help!

    Silkie toe question

    Hello. I just have a quick question about silkies and their feet. I know that silkies already have five toes. Will the cockerels develop spurs, effectively becoming a sixth toe? Having three silkie cockerels, I'm just wondering. Thanks in advance!

    Poultry Emergency Kit

    Hello all. I have a flock of 24 birds (19 chickens, 5 ducks), and I would like to know what materials would be good in the case of one of them being injured, because I don't want to lose more birds than I already have!

    Hello:frow. I have 5 Pekin ducks, all about 3 weeks old, and I'm wondering what would be good for a duck coop. What are good dimensions for the yard and coop, do they need nesting boxes, roosts, etc. and other important things. I have read that they are able to share a yard with chickens, is...

    What type of chicken is this?

    Hello all. In the file attached to this post, I have what I am pretty sure to be an Easter Egger cockerel, but I am not sure. Can someone confirm this, or is he not an Easter Egger? Thanks in advance:p
