    Mareks question

    We've lost 3 chickens over the last 2 years and at first I thought it was just old age, but I'm nervous that it may be mareks. The first hen was 7 years old and started losing the use of her legs, she was fine otherwise. We'd mover her to a shady spot in the dirt in the morning so she could...

    Help, Limping Chicken

    2 days ago our 6 year old hen couldn't walk on her right leg, if she did it was for a short distance and she just balled up her foot and hobbled on it. I did some research on Mereks and I don't think she has that, she is normal in every way, eyes clear and just chats with you when you talk to...

    Our cochin banty is broody, now what?

    9 days ago my daughter noticed that her banty cochin has gone broody. We've left her with the 3 other hens, but had to remove the rooster because he got an eye injury(now I'm wondering if she didn't do it). My question being, can I leave the 4 hens together and let her chicks hatch in the...

    Gunky eye

    My daughter found our rooster last night with his eye closed and some crusty yellow stuff around it. Any idea what it might be? We separated him and he seems to be alright, just a bit upset about his living quarters. I read about putting neosporin, so going to try that. Any help would be...

    What are the signs of death by being overweight?

    We found our 18 month old Orpington dead in the run today, she was out and about yesterday and this morning too. I had noticed a month or two ago that she seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the rest of the girls and sometimes walked with a limp(just figured she got into it with another...

    Do you know what breed of Bantam these are?

    We got these Bantams at our local farm store and just love them, we have 2 like this one above. We'd love to know if it has a breed if there is one. Is the one below a Cochin, I'm assuming that they come in all sorts of colors... Also, if anyone knows the breed, do you know the sex? I'm...

    Nesting boxes inside or out?

    We are in the middle of building our new 6x6 coop and can't decide if we should have outside access to the nesting boxes or not. Other than having to walk inside, is there any other benefit to having outside access to the boxes? Thanks for all the help!

    Not sure what to do.

    2 of the 4 Polish crested chicks(mixed batch) I picked up at the local farm store have died. They seemed fine, then started getting more listless until they expired. I did some research and thought that maybe thier vents had gotten clogged, so to make sure this didn't happen to the others...

    Polish Crested

    I'm thinking of getting 3-4 polish cresteds, one to be a rooster. Could anyone share with me what they think of this breed, are they tame or noisey? I currently have a 4 year old Plymouth barred rock, a Black Australop and a Rhode Island Red, all hens. I like all of their personaliteis and...

    Chicken "purr"???

    I have noticed lately that one of my hens will make a sound similar to purring when she is laying an egg. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this, it's very intersting.

    Help, my chicken attacked my daughter!

    I'm new here and was hoping for some help. I have two Auracanas hens that are a year old. They free range in our backyard and are considered pets. One has increasingly gotten more aggressive and bit my 4 year old on the cheek yesterday. She has pecked at all of us, but this time it was a...
