    Pooping Yolk

    Hello everyone, I have an 11 month old silkie. Yesterday I noticed she was acting a little lethargic. She was just sitting on the lawn in front of the door and when I would walk up to her she would get up and move a little but not far. She let me just stroke her back, she has always been more...

    Sick Wyandotte- lethargic and mucous sounding

    Need some chicken health advice! The information I have is kind of vague but I’m hoping the symptoms sound like something someone has experience with. One of our silver laced Wyandottes (she’s around 2 1/2) has not been feeling good lately. She’s lethargic although she still runs up for meal...

    Feeding Chicks (2 months old) Layer Food

    I sent my other half to get chick food for our two month old chicks and he comes back with an adult layer formula. The guy at the store asked him how old our birds were and my bf said 4 months (facepalm). Can our babies eat the layer food or should I run and get a back of chick food?

    Soft Eggs

    My two year old wyandotte has been laying soft eggs. She lays them and they immediately break. She gets oyster shells in her food. Last Thursday she watched our other girl, Sussie, get killed by a Coyote. My wyandotte, Panang, sounded the alarm but by the time we got out there our girl was gone...

    Is this bumblefoot??

    My two year old wyandotte (Clover), has this spot on the bottom of her foot. She has a smaller one on the other foot. She's free range and spends all day roaming about our property. She does cross our small private, gravel road to visit the neighbors. Other than that she's on grass or pasture...

    Soaking up excess moisture

    There's a spot in our coop that has a lot of moisture on the ground. This is where the girls poop when they are roosting. I clean it weekly and replace their bedding with clean straw but that doesn't seem to help with this corner. Is there anything I can put on the ground to soak up the moisture...

    Help! Missing duck, one lonely duck left

    We have two chocolate runner ducks, a male, and a female. They've been together since birth. We've had them about two years, a little more. Last night we couldn't find them to put them in the coop. We looked everywhere with flashlights. They were nowhere to be found, which is odd because they...
