    Isolate a chicken with cocci? She HATES it!

    I have a chicken who I think may have cocci and I am treating her for it. 2 days ago she seemed a little sluggish, I figured it was the heat and put some NutriDrench in the coop water. Yesterday, she was worse- not moving much, not eating or drinking without encouragement, and droopy. I've...

    My chicken ate a baby bird- should I be concerned?

    My best guess is that a baby bird (it was teeny and still translucent) fell out of our tree and my chicken found it and ate it! Of course as soon as I realized what it was (my daughter said " Lucy what's in your mouth?" and honestly I thought it was a worm until I saw a beak) she swallowed it...

    Blood in 3-week old chick poop- Help!

    I don't know if this is normal or not. My daughter just came hollerin' that there was blood in the poop. The Goog tells me it could be cocci or just normal intestinal shedding. My chicks have never been outside, but are not on medicated feed (as far as I can tell). Thank you!

    New here- have 4 chicks and I'm in way over my head

    We have 4 2-week old chickens; this is our first experience with them. We have a Buff Orpington, RIR, Easter Egger, and a Golden Sex Link. And while we thought we wouldn't get attached, here we are. We lost our littlest chick yesterday and it completely devastated us. We still don't know how or...
