I need advice/help! I am so confused because today when I went to check on my flock I saw something very disturbing. When I went out one of my favorite Ameracauna chickens were trapped under and fence, still very much alive, and the other chickens in the flock had pecked and dug a whole into her...
Today we just got new baby chicks, they were in a mixed breed bucket so we have no clue what the chipmunk pattern ones are. Are they americaunas? Are they speckled Sussex (that is what we are hoping for). Any tips will help! We know that the white and grey ones are most likely amerucauna. Thank you!
We have this hen, she is around a year or two old and she’s wheezing and her comb is like purplish red color. She won’t breath from her beak it’s constant breathing through the mouth, she won’t eat it drink, just trying to breath, does anyone know anything about it? She’s the only one doing it...
We just hatched chicks and one chick seems to want to lay on its back and it’s very wobbly. We attempted to help it by putting it in a little container with some paper Towl so it can sit normal but it’s very wobbly. What’s wrong with her? Is it normal or should we be concerned? Fixable?

This is Mama bird. She is around 5-6 years old and is a mix between a speckled Sussex and a silkie. She has the black skin of a silkie but different colors. She is very paranoid ever since All of her babies were killed by skunks until she just had one left that got taken by a hawk. She is very...
I have a heh who is just over a year old and she rarely comes out of the coop. She is VERY broody and hisses when ever you go beat her, but the funny thing is she never has any eggs under her! When she does come out of the coop she flaps her wings and screaming bloody murder like a hawk or other...
We suspect that this little EE is a Roo, but we are not sure. He (as I’m suspecting) is about 2 months old, I don’t know if that’s old enough to crow but we haven’t heard anything yet. We got him with 3 black birds and 2 other EEs. His identical sibling ended up passing away the 2nd day we had...
