    Help! I messed up pulley introductions

    I recently purchased four pullets from a local breeder. After a few nights in the starter coop, a snake killed three of them. 😢 Because I was concerned about the remaining bird being alone, I just got three new pullets today. Unfortunately, the three new ones are picking on the original “loner”...

    Injured bird advice needed

    I just went out to check on my chickens and found that one of my hands is bleeding from the mouth and has a severely swollen crop. I can’t tell if she got into a fight with another hen or if she is sick. Any help would be appreciated

    Chicken with right eye closed, right foot held up

    My 4yr old hen seems to be injured on her right side. Her right eye is closed and she is holding her right leg up. Her right wing is slightly droopy. Any ideas?

    High Stepping Hen?

    One of my 12 week EE's has been walking funny lately. She sometimes holds one foot up and walks as though she is "High-stepping". Our roosting bars are made of branches and she doesn't roost in the same place (if at all) so I doubt it is bumblefoot. Any ideas?

    Poopy Butt, Weepy eyes

    I have 6 young pullets who have been stuggling with some type of illness. Tonight I went in the coop and noticed that several of them had poopy butts and weepy eyes. I was thinking I might just need to give the whole flock (I have 15 all together) antibiotics. Any advice?
