    Meet Stella. 1.5 year old Easter Egger hen. We noticed today that her feet seem swollen and a little tender. Her activity level and food consumption seem normal, she does seem to be walking a little gingerly. She has multiple swollen areas on her feet and I'm trying to sort out what she has...

    Very sick chick. Need help/advice

If we dip her break into some water (with honey in it) she gulps a bunch of times. Any idea what is causing this? Is there anything we can do at this point. How do we...

    Can chicks have momentarily paralysis from fear?

    We are raising our first group of chicks ever and one of our chicks, a blue Cochin, keeps having this weird momentary paralysis. It's happening at night when they are about ready to go to bed and we are cleaning out their brooding box to ensure there is no wet bedding and to get rid of most of...
