    Comb damaged from the cold?

    Is there any way I can treat this? All of my other chickens are fine. None of the rest have this. It’s been super cold the past 2 weeks. Like around -20.

    What killed my rooster? Graphic Photo.

    I let my chickens free range when I’m home. Something got him in the middle of the day. I’m absolutely heartbroken... he was my favorite. What do you think got him? I locked the rest of the chickens up and will probably keep them in the coop/run for a while now.

    Will my chicken come back?

    Earlier today dog accidentally got out and chased my new chicken into the woods. I’ve only had her for a few days. I thought she would come back at night to roost but she didn’t. I can’t find her anywhere. Can chickens get lost? Is there still a chance she could come back?

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    I found her acting lethargic. She had slightly yellowish discharge coming from her vent. Her stomach feathers were like hard and clumped together like maybe the stuff dripping from her vent leaked onto it and dried. I cleaned it up and put her in the house to monitor what’s wrong. I used my...

    What’s wrong with my roosters comb?

    My roosters comb is black. Is this blood or did he just get into something? I was able to grab him to look at him and he doesn’t have any injuries or anything. I can’t tell what it is. I just got home from work and found him like this. All my chickens are perfectly fine and I don’t have any...

    Rooster standing on one leg? Black toe?

    I noticed my rooster was standing on one leg a lot. I looked closer at his feet. Are they ok? I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or if something is wrong. None of the chickens feet look like this besides his. They look extra scaly and one of his toes doesn’t look right. Is it frostbite or maybe...

    Can you keep a broad breasted turkey as a pet?

    We were given two turkeys last year and never planned on butchering them. We weren't told they were broad breasted. Which is our fault for not doing the research and asking more questions. I wouldn't have taken them If I would have known. I had one of them die from a vent prolapse and being...

    Chicken Wound With Below Zero Weather?

    Our rooster has kind of injured a chicken by mating with her too often. She has a wound on her back. It’s not that bad but there’s a big bald spot on her back. I tried a chicken saddle. She hated it and it didn’t even cover the wound all the way. The wound is too far up her back. For the next 10...

    My Turkeys Are Attacking New Rooster

    We have 2 turkeys, 8 chickens, and we just brought home a new rooster. The turkeys keep attacking him. They were raised as babies with the others and they all get along great. They’re fine until he gets close and then they try to attack him. What can I do? I’m worried they might seriously hurt him.

    Can I use the EcoGlow and a Heat Lamp?

    This is our first time raising baby chicks. The heat lamp ended up being way to hot where the temperature ended up over 100 and the chicks wouldn’t go near the light. So we replaced the bulb with a 60watt one and put an EcoGlow in there. Is that safe? Or are both together a fire hazard? The...
