Something is happening that’s causing my hens to become partially paralyzed. Two have died and now this morning, another is limping.
This is only affecting the hens that are Easter Eggers. Several weeks ago I found one just dead and removed her. A few days later, another hen was not using her...
I really don’t think I have the heart to willingly put a this hen down but I am at a loss... I want to figure out if there is anything whatsoever I can do otherwise.
I noticed the she wasn’t using her left leg at all and was holding it out in front of her almost two weeks ago. The other...

I’ve had this Black Sumatran hen that was given to me for at least 6 months now(I think it’s been longer) Ever since i got her, she’s been bald on the back of her neck. I assumed this was from a rooster aggressively mating. I waited and waited and there was no signs of...
I just noticed this ones face is turning a pinkesh color when a few days ago it wasn’t... what could this be? Here’s some pictures.

i just integrated these 5 young ones in with three adult hens. They are all hens. The young ones are 4 months old. They hold their mouths open a lot and kind of pant. I figured they where hot but the adult ones don’t do it like they do... they have all been together for a week now. Is this...
I have two ducks that are basically pooping water. They act and behave otherwise fine, quacking, walking about, eating, and drinking normally. I don’t see any other signs or symptoms. Included are some pictures of them and their poo.
I have them quarantined on a raised pin in my garage so...
I’m at my wits end... It seems im running a chicken gladiator arena. I have 8 hens total. Several Hens have bald spots and blood has been drawn a few times. I’ve posted about the violence between two of my adult hens, I’ve tried the advice to segregate the aggressor(Black Sumatran) in a pin...
Im looking to fence my property in and I’m on a tight budget. I’m looking for opinions on a few different fencing options.
I’m looking into using welded wire, Redbrand Kennel fence, or no climb horse fence. These are the options in my budget, horse fence being barely.
The big considerations is...
I would really like to free range my chickens but I need about 700 feet of fencing to fence in my yard. I want some input on fencing options. My neighbors hate that I have chickens(I don’t have a rooster, so it’s not that but ,”the neighbor is turning the community into a farm”) and I can’t...
I wanted to share this with the community for the sake of the information being available to others if they encounter it and for the sake of discussion.
I made a previous thread about getting to the bottom of why I had abruptly lost three hens. You guys can check that out for a backstory.

I only have three hens in my main run and coop right now. They are about a year old. Houdini(black sex link) is terrorizing Biggie(Big Jersey). Houndin is a new addition somewhat. I had her separated in one of those coops you can by at Walmart(yeah....) Up until a week ago because of an injury...
I just got 5 new hens three days ago. 4 Easter Eggers and one silkie. As of last night they where fine and showing no signs of illness(other then one with what I think is a pecking injury) I have them quarantined from my existing chickens. This morning when I checked on them, one was being...
