    Chicken has one eye closed?

    I noticed today that my one year old leghorn hen has one eye open. She alternates between closing and opening it. It’s not swollen and there’s no pus leaking out of it.

    I have 4 rustic rocks. They were raised together but recently, 3 of them have started to bully the youngest. They peck at her comb every time she’s near them. They prevent her from eating and drinking. I don’t know what to do. The coop is big enough and she has places to hide. I’ve researched...

    Week old baby chick weak, won’t stand and doesn’t have an appetite

    I bought 4 chicks from TSC last Wednesday. When we got home we noticed she had a problem with balancing but she would still eat and drink. I didn’t notice anything wrong with her legs too. Friday is when things went downhill. She was panting, couldn’t keep her eyes open and wouldn’t move. I gave...
