Backstory - we have a flock of neighborhood guineas (4) that roam between 3 lots. We feed and water them and they show up every morning. 1 has been missing for weeks. We assumed it was a predator. Fast forward to today and we found a crying keet in our lot, on her/his own trying to get in with...
Hi. I adopted 5 chickens when we bought our house. A couple were 3 yo. Fast forward a year and one of my older ones has been lethargic for a few days and drooling today. She was a TS purchase from what the previous owner told me. No idea what her breed or exact age is. She’s extremely thin. She...

If it is a roo-how is their demeanor? I will have 21 in my flock ages 3 and younger. I MAY have...

My question is this:
My ordered from Meyer 7 week old green queen is drastically larger than the rest of my 7 week olds. Feathering is coming in odd. No back feathers yet-just fluff. Comb is pea as it should be and...
