    Ok, I've spent a couple of hours searching threads and I can't find an answer so I'm hoping someone can help me. Last week my Sussex rooster got sick. Thursday night he was fine, Friday morning he did not want to move, and had one eye swollen shut with Goopy stuff hanging from it. I washed...

    Ok? ....What just happened?

    Ok, so I'm down giving my 4 1/2 week old chicks some yogurt. I open up the side window in the brooder and they all come out and nibble yogurt off my fingers, and for some reason I decided to crow, just to see their reaction. Wow! Not what I was expecting, they all freaked out! Ran into a corner...

    Baby chick can't stand up! Advice needed please.

    I have a 4 day old Cochin that won't/can't stand up. She is eating, but only when we hand feed her as she can't stand up to eat out of the feeder, same with drinking. She is relatively alert, does sleep more than the others, but the only time she moves is when another chick might step on her...

    Egg Song! I wanted to share this LOL

    So I have 5 hens and one Roo, none of my hens have ever made the egg song. They're just as quiet as could be when they lay. My youngest hen, a little bantam cochin, is ten months and has never laid a egg. So just a little while ago I hear the worst commotion outside, I hear one of my hens...
