    Wheezing/sneezing/gasping chick

    I have one chick that is wheezing, sneezing, breathing hard & occasionally gasping for air. It seems more lethargic than the rest & sometimes has its eyes closed. I can hear it breathing from loudly over the other chicks. It has been this way for 2 days & the others have been sneezing since the...

    Best movable fence?

    I’m looking for ideas on the easiest to move fence. There is already a permanent perimeter fence, but I am wanting to divide the area. I need a place for my daughter to play that is poop free. My husband is wanting to move the fence for mowing purposes, so it needs to be easy to roll up. What...

    Need to Treat Scaly Leg Mites & Lice

    I have a small flock of bantams and standard size chickens. Some of them have scaly leg mites, some of them have lice, some of them have both, and some of them have neither. I know that I need to treat all of the chickens though. Some of my bantams are feather footed, so treating the scaly leg...

    Spitzhauben Genders?

    I have 3 ten week old Spitzhaubens and don't know what genders they are. Please let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure that the first is a pullet and the second is a cockerl, but I'm not too sure on the third.

    Bantam Cochins-know one is a roo, but the others?

    I have three 1 month old bantam Cochins. One is for sure a roo (feathering out really weird) but I'm not sure on the other two. Any suggestions?

    Putting hen with new chick in same coop as older chicks?

    I have a bantam hen (first time mom) and one 3 day old chick(only one hatched). Would it be okay to put them in the same coop as six 3 week old chicks? The bigger chicks spend 95% of the day in their run outside. I don't really have a better place to put her that the other layers won't bother her.

    What killed my chicken?

    I came home to find that my 16 week old bantam pullet (that I hatched) was missing. All that I found of her was a pile of feathers, part of the skull, and some entrails. This happened in during the day. I keep my chickens in the back yard, so fenced in. I could not find any other evidence...

    Are these pullets or cockerels?

    I have 3 chicks that one of my hens hatched out about 4 weeks ago. The first and second are both bantam mixes. The third is a standard EE/banty cochin mix. Does anyone have ideas on gender or is it too early to tell?

    Eggs not hatching

    I have two EE eggs that are at day 25 under my hen. There is no pecking inside and when I tilt them from side to side there is a thud sound. I have tried candling them but do not have a bright enough flash light. Are they alive in there or not?

    What breed is my pullet?

    This pullet is around 2 months old and is a mystery to me. She came from Cackle Hatchery, but I am not aware of the breed. She has iridescent earlobes, black legs, and white tips on her longest wing feather. I am not sure if she is a bantam or standard size. Any ideas?

    Sour Crop?

    I think one of my old hens has a sour crop. Her crop feels like a water balloon and she is very lethargic. All she does is lay next to the water and drink a lot. I did some reading and made her throw up. All that was in there was water and a few pieces of feed. She then went back to the water...

    Question about metronidazole powder for blackhead

    I had a hen die yesterday from blackhead before I could treat her with metronidazole. I found some in a powder form at a local pet store. I found a dosage for mixing in water of 100g per 200L, so that means about 1893mg in 1 gallon per day for 5 days. That seems like a lot. Is that correct...

    Not sure about these two

    I have 2 pullets that I just got from my local feed store. They are from Cackle Hatchery, so they should be pure breeds. They are about a month old. The reason for the questionable breeds is because all of the older chicks at the feed store had been put in the same cage to make room for the new...

    Hen with wheeze and hiccup

    I have a 2 year old EE hen that started wheezing and occasionally hiccupping today. She only does it after running. I read that it may be impacted crop (it was hard) or something stuck in her throat so I gave her some olive oil to try to loosen things up. She has had access grass and hay since...

    What breeds are these bantams?

    My grandpa gave me these banties and I was wondering if they were actual breeds or some sort of cross-breeds. They are all the same age. The one in the house is a rooster and the other two are hens. The roo is clean legged and the hens have leg feathering.

    Dominance head picking

    I have one hen that gets picked on by all the others. She is missing all the feathers on the back of her head and half way down her neck. She stays in one corner of the yard behind the shed and will sometimes venture out, but is very fearful. She seems to be getting enough to eat and drink, but...

    Brown leghorn won't let the rooster breed her

    I have a brown leghorn hen that is over a year old that will not let my 7 month old EE rooster breed her. He breeds my other laying hens, but she always runs away or fights with him. We were gone for a couple of days for Thanksgiving and the neighbors were taking care of the chickens. I guess...
