So, I noticed that my chickens are eating a huge amount of feed for their normal amount. and drinking tons of water. about 3 times their normal amount.
I went out this morning to feed them and i see strange looking poop. my camera is low quality so this is the best i can get. I hope someone can...
So every day my black sex link chicken lays 2 full sized brown eggs.
i know this because i only have 2 chickens and one lays blue/green eggs

the shells are really great shape and hard so its not like shes making soft eggs.
I just want...
So I went out and was checking for eggs and chickie was in the nest box,

well she finally got it...
I have a chick that did a flop the other day and knocked her self out falling on her head.

I just had a scare with one of my chicks falling 3 feet. she's only a week old.
she jumped down and landed on her head and wing, her neck went limp and she started shaking with the wing extended... I picked her up and
