    My chick’s backside is blown up like a balloon…

    Hello. I’m raising some meat chickens and I’ve noticed several chicks blown up like this. I’ve kept them in food and water but they were too hot today. Vent is clean and they don’t act very sick. Any idea what’s wrong and what I could do to fix it?

    Rooster in shock or having health issues?

    Hello everyone. I have 2 roosters in my flock of 24 chickens. Big Guy (real creative name, I know) is my best. He keeps the other rooster in line and all the hens like to stay close to him. He’s always had first say but is still a gentleman. This morning I saw Red going after BG and BG slunk...

    Enlarged craw…normal or a concern?

    About 4 weeks ago, my local feed store ran out of the chicken feed I had been using so I bought a different brand. It had the same protein content, etc. I didn’t realize I was supposed to change food slowly so I just loaded their feeders with the new feed. Well…long story short, three hens died...

    Hello from Western Colorado!

    Hello everyone. I’m Marley and I have grown up around chickens. However, I’m looking to add to my knowledge and figured this is the place to come. I have twenty-three hens and two roosters and they are a happy family (most the time;). They get to roam our farm as long as they behave themselves...
