Hello. So about a month ago I added a new rooster to our flock of 11 hens and he was always great with other chickens up until recently. There has been a couple specific hens he has been bullying and attacking for no reason and they have become afraid of him and won’t go down to eat or drink or...
We have free ranging chickens and a Fox has moved into our area. We first noticed them when my dad heard the chickens going crazy around 1-2 pm and all of them went missing in the woods and around half of them (8) found their way back but the others didn’t sadly. Ever since then we’ve been...
I need to know how old these two are so I know when to stop feeding grower and start feeding layer feed (the same feed my other chickens are eating). Also what breeds they are? It’s not that important but the hen (Orange/yellow one) seems to be smaller than usual and fluffier and not growing as...
Just got two new chicks who we think have fleas. Would it be safe to bathe them in dawn dish soap and then pray the coop down with wondercide flea and tick spray?
Hello. I noticed yesterday morning that one of my chickens has an injured foot or leg. Is limping and not doing much movement. What do I do about it? Will it heal? She’s about a one year old blue Orpington who is shy and skittish. And nothing looks wrong with the foot that I can see.
About a month ago we had a rooster that started acting weird. At first he was getting bullied by our other rooster but it didn’t look that serious so we just left it alone but then I went to let them out one morning and I didn’t see the rooster so I went looking for him and found him laying in...
Hello I have a Rhode Island Red chicken that is approximately 25 weeks old that has recently started being “aggressive” and trying to test me. She started off being the friendliest chick and I would be able to pet her and she would also walk right up to me but now her friendliness has turned to...
I went to let out our chickens this morning and noticed one of our roosters missing so I went to look for him and found him in our shed lying and and I was able to walk over to him and pick him up. He doesn’t seem like he can balance well on his legs. He is eating and drinking. Yesterday our...
We recently got 9 week old chicks and still have an old (still is active and healthy) hen and am wondering if she will kill the chicks when alone together (mainly at night)? She has pecked them before.
Would someone be able to tell me EVERY breed of chicken that lays brown, white, blue/green eggs? And categorize them? Like “brown eggs layers: Rhode Island Red...”? I tried looking it up but I can’t find the full list.
Would y’all be able to tell me if this young americauna is a male or female? We were told he was a male and we have been thinking it but now we’re not so sure (he is approximately 9 weeks old)
I just fed my chicks when one of them started to keep his mouth open and he also keeps swallowing? (Extends neck) and also keeps shaking his whole body to maybe try to bring something back up. He is still eating but not drinking (will walk over to the waterer but won’t actually drink)
HELP! We just noticed today that one of our hens is severely sick. Her eyes are half way shut, she’s breathing heavy, won’t drink/eat, doesn’t respond as fast (let me pick her up and none of my chickens are that friendly), lack of going to the bathroom, and trouble standing/laying a lot. Any...
