So I show birds and fair entries are coming up. However I'm hesitant because of bird flu so I'm not sure what to do. Wondering what's happening around dutchess county New York when it comes to this horrible disease. Looking for thoughts and what you would do?
I found my 2 year old hen lacy puffed up her eye all bubbly I separated her immediately but she don't seem too well. what should I do, another vet trip?
I found my rooster dead on his back on the floor last night his neck limp like it was broken I do have another rooster but the dead one Gizmo used to beat up hulk and hulk would run from him so I don't think it was him but what could have caused this?
When I went out to lock up my barn cats for the night I found my baby boy 2 year old rooster Gizmo had passed away from unknown causes, I am absolutely devastated. any thoughts and prayers are welcome.
So one of my hens I found her dragging her leg I'm going to try and treat it like a pinched nerve and put her in a humid bathroom I was wondering if this would be a good idea or if somebody thought there was something better
So we built this lovely nest box with the top being for them to sit unfortunately almost all the hens choose to fight over the one my salmon faverolle is in front of. Can anybody explain this?
So ever since little gourd started to grow her feathers in these couple feathers have been curling and she's extra fluffy. Thing is I don't have any special feathered hens . It's also only on one wing

My first three
Amber 2 year old Rhode Island Red mix
Lacy 2 year old mix breed
Whitney 2 year old mix breed
Then I got my fourth from our local fair a few months later

So I don't know what else to do one of 6 chicks hatched from my broody hen. Their mom doesn't wanna leave the other eggs, so can I take Mom off the nest take the babies out put her back on feed and give the babies some eater then put them back under her.
So, my hens went broody, and we had our first chick hatched last night a little orangey-yellow Rhode island red chick colored chick with black spots on the wings. For these chicks I want a Halloween theme. They also should have names that could fit boys and girls. I'll add a picture of the first...
So we see the vet tomorrow and this green poop is worrying me. I mean their diet hasn't changed and their poop isn't normal gree the one is normal it's just an example.
Intro and Friday:
The past few days have been hell and I feel like my world is crashing down around me.
I'm fine, but Friday after evening after school I had one of our young pullets start to go downhill and within a hour she dropped dead. This was my first time ever losing a chicken. That...
So one of my pullets who was gonna come out of quarantine today is puffed up and lethargic she also has diarrhea pls tell me this isnt anything bad . The other one looks fine.
So in one of my small groups there are 5 birds I bought them from someone and they are still quarantined due to a few concerns they did have some snot but with vet Rx in there water that has seemed to clear up just a little bit of coughing and some strange feces pics below
