    How often do you put garlic in the water?

    Just want to know, I’ve been putting garlic since I found out you could and alternating it with electrolytes and am not sure if it’s a good idea.

    Chicken acting up - sounds of pain?

    One of my chickens look like she’s in pain sometimes, this is the third time I saw it happen but it might’ve happened when I wasn’t there as well. She would stay still, put her head down, and start making this sound like she’s in pain while kinda moving her head around. Here’s a short clip of...

    Month old chick won’t eat & drink, has yellow watery poo

    He was fine a couple of days ago and I just noticed a change in his behavior yesterday. He’s not moving much and doesn’t eat - earlier he ate some mealworms from my hand but now he refuses to eat even that. I have water with garlic for him and tried making him drink it, I probably managed to...

    my month old chicks (rir & pbr)

    I think I have 1 male and 2 female RIRs but I’m not sure about my PBRs, one already has a pinkish comb and has a darker look, but the other two are also quite aggressive which makes me think they might be males. LMK!

    Chicken scared of me after isolating her

    I have 3 silkies and I isolated one after I recently got them because she seemed really sick. During the isolation period I had to force her to drink medicated water because she wouldn’t drink and I also trimmed her “hair” a bit to see better. Now whenever I hand feed them she just pecks stuff...

    Chickens not eating a lot?

    I have 3 3 month old silkies and I put about 1/3 cup of feed 3x a day and they never finish their food. They don’t even seem to eat half of it. Is this normal or are they eating less than normal?

    Chicken falls asleep while standing still, slower than others

    I have a 3 month old silkie and she’s been weak for some time now. I gave her and her flockmates Axylin for 5 days as per advice of multiple people and she got better (before she would barely eat and drink). Unfortunately she still seems weak but I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong with her...

    Anyone have a flock of disabled chickens?

    It’s something that randomly popped out of my mind. So, does anyone here have a flock of chickens that are physically or mentally challenged?

    smelly chicken with dried mucus on beak

    Hello, I’ve isolated my sick 3 month old silkie from her siblings and my mom recently noticed that I smelled bad after handling her. I haven’t figured out the specific problem with her yet but hopefully this info would help identify it. She’s quite weak, has mucus on her nose, and does have...

    Weak chick? - slow @ grabbing treats and stays in corner a lot

    I have 3 approximately 3 month old silkies and yesterday I was feeding them watermelon and noticed that the other one stopped early and went to a corner and slept. Today I was feeding them spaghetti noodles and the same chick was slow and often her noodle was eaten by the other two. After a few...

    2 month old silkies not leaving their coop

    A few days ago I got 3 2 month old silkies but they refuse to leave the coop, I leave the door open for about 5-10 minutes while I play with other chicks and when I look they’re still inside. I need them to get used to me but don’t know how to do it with them being inside the coop all the time...
