My brooder was a bit overcrowded as chicks started growing up. Naturally, I started putting them in larger enclosures and noticed a few of the lower pecking order chicks have swollen eyes. I separated the chicks and tried getting the eyes to drain but haven't had any luck. Keeping the eyes clean...

It seems to be mosquito season for so many this time of year, which has led me down a fowl pox rabbit hole. I've read dozens of articles about the virus and the vaccine and protecting your flock. The articles seem to skip over what happens to birds that are already/currently infected. Wet pox...

I'm not really familiar with sexing ducks. Someone said the feathers near the tail curl if it's a drake? The pics aren't the best, but what do you guys think? Does he look male or female?

Okay it seems like there is lots of leg injuries going around, but I've yet to see one like hers. It started maybe a week or two ago. Possibly from a overly excited young roo. She was kinda waddling around low to the ground like she was egg bound or waiting for a rooster. I checked her, no egg...

I'm finally approved through the state to sell eggs (Yay!!) and I was thinking of building a little honest box. Maybe similar to the one in the pic. Just to help get rid of all the extras we don't eat ourselves (and to help fund coop expansions and treats and toys lol). But I'm still debating if...

Hello! I don't see too many naked necks or turkens around the area and was wondering if anyone would be interested in some gorgeous roosters. I have several and would love to see them find a home with some ladies to watch over. About them: I have 2-3 red/brown naked neck roosters. Rather large...

Okay so there has been lots of chicken drama lately. A group of my hens have become egg eaters! But worse, the big ladies are picking on the little silkie ladies. They have separate coops but I let them free range together during the day. And the second the coop doors are open. They're raiding...

I know there is another post below mine about a sick silkie but I wanted to make a separate post for myself. I know kittens and puppies sometimes get a little discharge from their eyes that gets crusty and you can use a bit of warm water to help open it again. Is it the same with chickens? Is...

Okay so this has been going on the past few weeks and I've been losing my mind over it. But hopefully my post gives others a glimmer of hope in dark times. Sorry it's a bit lengthy. Maybe one day I'll write a book on my chicken adventures and this will be a chapter lol. We live in a very rural...

I purchased these little guys from the feed store a few days ago. They were labeled as Production Reds but boyfriend said they might be Sexlinks? Help us end the debate please!

Hello! I'm Crystal from the scorching hot desert that is Arizona. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and his chickens. I'm so in love with them! It's been about a week so far. We have about 20 older chickens of various breeds (Jersey Giant, Silkies, Marans, Minorcas, D'Uccle, etc.), 25 four...
