I haven’t seen this problem addressed so wanted to get your comments and ideas on this subject. A little backstory. I’ve had my rooster since he was about 6 months I believe from a breeder. We thought he was a girl so he was named Kitty (he is a silkie) Kitty was clingy, always following me...

I’ve spent a year with my flock learning their behaviors and language and now it’s at a point where I can without hesitation mimic their calls from alerting them to danger, small calling back and forth with them while I clean, scolded them when their mean, crow like my rooster, and much more...

1 year old black silkie hen has bubbles in both eyes, sneezing, and shakes head when she sneezes. Don’t know what this is? Rinsed her eyes with saline. Any ideas? Can post pictures if that helps!

Just got a 1 year old black silkie hen today from a lady, I believe this chicken was neglected. She lives in a farm and when I got her I noticed she was muddy and sneezing. Took her home and gave her a bath and that’s when I realized how bad it was. First offered her food and water, without any...

It is currently winter here around 25 degrees each day. I noticed a few days ago a chicken was acting tired, thought nothing of it and it slowly got worse, figured she was going through growing since she’s about 7-8 months old. Yesterday I really noticed how bad she was as she let me approach...

I got a 4 month old silkie chicken from a lady and I’ve had her for maybe a month now. I swear this chicken thinks I’m her mother she won’t let me leave her sight, demands I cuddle her, screams when I leave, sleeps on me, and is never afraid of anything I do around her (I could make a sudden...

I have a Americana chicken with sour crop! Her breath smells pretty bad. I’m going to pen her of in a dog cage without food or water. I’ve been messaging her crop to kinda help break down what’s in there. ANY tips would be greatly appreciated! I noticed the smell a couple days ago but put it off...

It’s going to sound odd. I had a dream a couple days ago about an duck I used to care for. She was abandoned at a park and didn’t trust a lot of people, I taught her to trust me. We had a special bond of which I didn’t view her as an animal, but rather an old friend. We were inseparable and...

I thought I might discuss the unbearable topic of loosing our darling animal friends and how to greave. The truth of the mater is we only have our animals for a short time, even if they live for years its undeniable that at any moment of the day they can cease to exist sometimes without cause...

Today my chickens were out like normal free ranging while I cleaned their run/coop when I spotted a dog walking into my yard. I recognized it as my next door neighbors dog who gets out once in awhile. So thinking I would just walk it back over I started herding the dog back, but I made a big...

A few weeks back I lost a hen to an unknown cause leaving me with only two hens left and so the very next day I went out and bought 4 new baby chicks. They stayed in their brooder for about 3 weeks before I moved them to a dog crate outside in the run where they have been for about 1 1/2...

I have a Calico Princess baby chick who is about under a week old got it yesterday from Rule King. She is acting stranger than the other chicks. She is standing with her eyes closed and cheeping, but she will eat food with rest and will move around. Is it possible she is sick or just a sleepy...
