    My hen Marigold has something wrong with her. She is constantly sneezing. I believe it only started yesterday, and is breathing through her mouth. It makes a sound when she breathes, like a little gasp. She is drinking, eating, running around with the other chickens, and appears to be normal...

    Deworming baby chicks?

    Fern my broody hen has three chicks who are roughly two weeks old. Basically I saw a wiggling worm in one of Fern’s fresh droppings, I watched it for more than a second to confirm it was a worm. Should I wait for the chicks to grow up and then treat them all? Is dewormer safe for such young...

    I’m sure some of you on here have seen my threads of Amelia going broody! Well now it’s Amelia’s daughter Fern who is the broody one.

    What’s causing some of my chickens to have watery poop?

    Some of my chickens have been having watery poop. Other than that they seem to be eating, drinking, preening, and doing normal chicken stuff. Do you you guys have any ideas why they are having watery poops? They haven’t really had any treats lately besides a bit of dry oatmeal.

    My jersey giant hen is molting and is missing big patches of feathers. She pretty much has no tail and all her feathers look really loose. She is acting like she is tired and maybe a little droopy. I’m pretty sure she’s still eating and drinking and acting like a normal chicken. Do you guys...

    Guess what my barnyard mix is!

    This is Maisey and she is roughly 15 weeks although younger in the pictures. I already know what mix she is but I wanted to see if anyone could guess it! Last time i posted Enola and pretty much everyone guessed her in the first five minutes! So hopefully this one will be harder.
