Hi, I have a hen that had her chick's starting to hatch today (as of now there are 4 hatched and more coming) but I'm worried because we have a guard Goose that lives in the same coop as the hen and her chicks.... he sometimes tries to nibble on the hens but they can run away pretty easily, but...

Hi! I have a chicken named Nimona, a novogen brown, and I just noticed she wouldn't put basically any weight on one of her feet. It was to th point for when moving fast, she literally was hopping on foot. Other than that though she was acting completely normal. Any ideas? It has been really...

Hi! I have an about 18 week old barred rock rooster named Mr. Big (not named after anything, he just was like a good 2 heads taller then the rest of the chick's when he was younger. He's always had a fairly deep crow, but recently his crow has been starting to jump up to a really high pitch...
Hi! I have 2 ducks named Willow and Gus, and when I got them, it just said they were "mixed ducklings" so I have no idea what breeds they are. Can you guys help out? I'm pretty sure the white one, (Gus) is a magpie, and I have no idea about the other one. Sorry I don't have great pictures of...
Hi! I have a toulouse goose, (not a dewlap) and today it's been really hot, 105 degrees, and now at night, the coop is still blistering, and really humid, and he's breathing fast, and when I touch his beak, water comes off, as if he's salivating heavily, and when he honks, a drop of water comes...
Hi, I have a blue andulusian whose crop is really swollen, and it feels like it's full of liquid, so we brought her inside. Shes been like this for a while, but we didnt think anything about it because other than that she was fine, as in she was energetic and had a red comb like wveryone else...
Hi! I have already posted about this chicken, but I wanted to ask again. One of my chickens named Darcy, a 4 year old white brahma has been really lethargic lately. She sits around a lot and she often lags behind the rest of the flock. She also has lost a lot of weight, as she usually needed to...
Hi! I have a singular toulouse gander (we think... not entirely sure on gender) and we want to get a second goose so he isn't lonely. Do you guys have e any breed reccomendations? I'm still new to geese raising and the goose lives with chickens and ducks. My family would prefer a docile goose...
Hi! I have a toulouse goose, (could be a gander, no one in my family wants to vent sex them.) I have a couple of questions about them. The Goose's name is Goose,(i know, very creative lol) and he's just a singular Goose in a flock of chickens and ducks. They're not there as a guard Goose, we...
Hi! I have a chicken named Darcy, she's a white brahma. She's always been kinda overweight, but lately I've noticed her crop feels kinda flat all of the time, shes lost some weight, she doesn't have a much as an appetite, she stands around a lot, and also she breaths out of her mouth, and she...
We have a about 1 year old blue andulusian, and her crop is swollen or something.... I've felt it and it feels really swollen but soft..? I'm not sure what to do but it is to the point where she is pretty front weighted... I don't know what to do, what it is, or what caused it. Anyone know? I...

Here's some of my hens:
This is Nimona(novogen brown)

Hi! This isn't as much a chicken question but a goose question. I have a 10 month old toulouse goose and I'm not sure which sex he is. His name is "Goose" (I know, so creative:rolleyes:). He honks a whole lot whenever I come near or say hi to him and he also vibrates his neck whenever people...
I'm TheHappyHen678! I have had chickens for 5 years now, and they have become my favorite animal! I have 17 chickens and a goose and duck. I have all different breeds (for the most part.) One of my favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens is to get to know the different chicken's...
We have a 4 year old hen that yesterday we found her in our coop with a really bloody comb so we separated her from the flock and put some hen healer on it. She has been really lethargic and does open her eyes but likes them closed. She seemed better today but she hadn't been drinking or eating...
