I have a girl who is 1 1/2 years old. We went to the vet on Wednesday because of rapid weight loss and loose stool, even though I had already treated with Corid. She had a resistant coccidiosis strain, and the vet treated her with an alternate medication. No worms. No other bacterial issues...
Ducky was fine two days ago. Yesterday I noticed she was not as eager to investigate, and today I noticed she is ruffled out and tucking her head back onto her shoulders. Doesn’t kick up a fuss when I pick her up, sleeping more, and generally looks unwell.
She lives outdoor in approx 80*F

I thought now would be as good a time as any to start a little documenting journey of our little flock. We are reasonably new to chickens—a little over a year and a half of experience. Our hens double as our pets. My kids really seem to enjoy them. So, without further ado, here is our flock...

I can’t believe she laid it. I kept asking her if she was ok after passing that.
Title says it all! I had this coop happen to me and I’m playing surgeon to fix it up for my small flock. I thought I could do a photo journey of my modifications to this TSC sentinel coop that many have!
Here is my initial starting point
The first thing I wanted to do was to get it off the...
Good evening from TN, all.
A week ago we became the owners of a few hens. Now, this all came about by falling into my lap. I’d been considering chickens for some time and was drafting a 10 page proposal to my husband to sell him on the idea outlining costs, benefits, drawbacks, etc. (When I “do...
Hello everybody. My name is Kat
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We are brand spankin new to all of this! I’ve wanted chickens since I was about 8, and my gracious husband made it happen for me and my babies. I have a friend who has a flock of thirty, and she...
