Ok so my situation is my boyfriend slipped one last egg under a broody during fall season...my broody sat and did her job but then when it hatched she got aggressive towards the chick so I had to take the chick inside. I think the chick got chilled at some point and has a slight cold. She shows...

Still trying to figure out whats wrong w one of my young roosters foot..thought it was Bumble foot, then a leg deformity now Im wondering if its like teething for a baby and he just has a spur coming out. He is at the age to get them but I have never seen what it looks like when they do. Thank you

Ok so I have other posts that I posted looking for help in identifying my young chicken's foot issue which I thought was Bumble foot, today however (because this whole issue started by him limping) I checked out his entire leg and noticed his upper leg seems to be deformed..there is a hard mass...

One of my young roosters has the early stages of Bumble foot. I am pretty sure he got it either from the wood chips in the run which I have now removed (we had a real muddy year) or from perching on a crowded nesting box which I since had to block off. I am around my chickens everyday and...

Hey I need some advice. This is my Lion head rabbit's eye...I noticed today it was watering. He seems to have not been eating his newly switched food..so I went and bought his old food after I heard rabbits shouldn't have their food changed. He is from a shelter, I have had him for a month. He...

Well I thought it was due to my Rooster so I bought a saddle for Honey. Even with the saddle she has progressively gotten worse. I think it could be a combination of her first moult and the Rooster....I noticed she is always stressed out too...looking up franticly and making what is left of her...

We have one main Roo that previously fought with our other Rooster that we tried to keep...so we had to find him a new home with his own ladies. Sugar our main Rooster appeared to want to be the one and only! So we had a hen go broody this winter and she had 2 females and 1 in question, looked...

She seems fine other wise ...no signs of being sick but bubbling mucus from the nose. I am new to having chickens and all the ones I have raised my silkies have never had this. These hens are 16 wks old. They are in my house until I make sure they are not sick then I will put them out with the...

She went broody this winter and lost weight but I had then brought her in the house to raise her chicks and she put it all back on. When she was then done raising them and returned to the coop the others have been picking on her. She is at the bottom of the pecking order, the others won't even...

I have noticed she is doing this head swaying thing...side to side but more to the right, she seems unbalanced at the time of doing this but she does not do it constantly. I cannot figure out if she just can't see with the poof on her head or if this is an illness. She eats and drinks fine and...

Figures I try to solve one problem only to create another! I brought him in the house applied pressure w a rag..and then washed his feet to get most of the yuck off from being out in the coop...I was trying to find stuff u use on dogs to stop bleeding but guess we have none...dont have any...

I may know the answer already but I just want to make sure. I have a hen that after a month of raising her chicks has decided she is done raising them. I had her in the house due to winter w her 3 chicks, she was a good mama..but I only had been feeding her chick starter grower w her babies...I...

I have had a mother hen and her 3 chicks in my room in a kiddy plastic pool, all set up with a box, shavings, hay, and clean water n food at all time, grit, treats so on...They are in the house because it is winter here in NH. The chicks are 4 weeks old, she has been a good mama, taught them...

If so how in the world do you keep the floor bedding clean? & dry? I love my ducks but the 4 make such a mess...my chickens have their perches and clean boxes but would rather eat with the rest of the flock and spend time on the ground...since its winter I clean out old bedding (esp wet) once a...
