    Sick Americauna

    I have a sicky. "Rosie" has had a poopy bum feathers for a while now. Hasn't laid eggs for a few months, but I just chalked that up to molting, age or stress. Just this week she has become very lethargic, (doesn't even hop up into the walled part of the coop at night)loss of interest in...

    Girls won't accept new hen, now what?

    We introduced new hen Rosie to the other four girls who are roughly the same age, about a month ago. We did things slowly and did the whole see and don't touch, etc. Our previously sweetest gal became the new worst attacker, but they are all mean. Won't let her eat or drink, and when they are...

    Wild Welsummer!

    We chose a Welsummer (8 weeks old now) because the information I had was that they are friendly, not aggressive and easily handled. This gal is the opposite in every way! We are now trying to "tame" her by holding her everyday and separating her from the older RIRs that she likes to hang out...

    Help!! First timer has a sick chicken!

    I just got 5 chickens less than two weeks ago. We have been keeping the three slightly older chickens and the two younger pullets separate. Just today I noticed that when we let her out in the yard, the Americauna pullet (6 weeks old) is not pecking, is acting lethargic and does not make any...
