She's not moving around too much, not eating much and she has these jerking motions with her neck. Her comb is flopped over too. Her chest seems really swollen and she fell off balance when she went to itch her nose. Her eyes seem swollen too. I just put electrolytes and probiotic in their water...

Any ideas? I don't have a pic of her face yet, but just curious on possibilities at this point. Trying help a friend identify her chickens. TIA

Anyone ever see this before? I know she's a hen, but it almost looks like a spur??? It's only on one leg.

We live in MA and the land out behind our house is pretty damp which makes a perfect storm for an insane amount of Mosquitos. Before we had chickens we would spray the yard with fogger. One year we even split a mosquito control service with our neighbor. Both methods were really effective. Now...

Hello! I just got 2 BA chicks today. They are the first australorps we've ever had. I noticed that one chick has an almost completely black beak and the other one's beak is all white except for 1 small black spot. Will their beaks stay like this or will the white beaked one change to black?

I noticed today that one of my 1 year old Buff Orpington's was just not acting like herself. She was off by herself instead of staying with the flock. Her comb looks a dull pink and she seems to stand still and stare off into space for a while before she slowly moves around. She would eat meal...

We have our buff orpington in our basement in a dog crate with a bandaged foot. She's got a bad infection in her toe and is currently on antibiotics. The issue is she can't get up on the roosting bar we put in there for her so she's just laying on the bottom of the crate (which she's also...

I'm getting 3 new chicks in early May (well summer, black copper maran, and a barred rock). We already have a flock of 6. 3 buff orps and 3 ri reds. I have a temporary run already for the 3 new girls that will go right along side our large run, but what can I use for a coop until they're big...

Here's a pic of my coop. I was just going to leave the tops of the 2 windows cracked a few inches on each side throughout the winter. I have 6 hens in there now and plan to add a few more in the spring. Are the 2 windows enough ventilation or do I need to add more?

My 7 year old really wants to hatch some chicks (and so do I), but we absolutely cannot keep a rooster in my neighborhood. Is there any way to sex a fertilized egg? I'm 99% sure the answer is no, but I'm asking anyway out of desperation. Lol.

I have 3 buff orpingtons that are 23 weeks old. My ri reds are the same age & started laying 3 weeks ago. My question is now with the days getting shorter and the temps dropping (we live in MA) what is the likelihood that they'll lay any eggs before spring?

What materials did you use on the roof to your run? I thought there was a metal roofing we could use that has almost a round wave like pattern to it, but I can't find it. Anything close that we've found locally is plastic. Thanks!

I feel like the worst chicken owner ever! Our chickens are 2.5 months old and we're new to this. A few weeks ago we put different colored leg bands on them so my husband, my little boy, and I could tell them all apart after he named them. I bought 2 sizes and was planning to change all their...

Hello, We just got our chicks today! 3 RI reds and 3 Buff Orpingtons. So CUTE!!! I'm in love already. Their little peeping is adorable, but I know these girls are going to grow up fast so I need to build a coop for them fairly quickly. I'm looking for coop plans that give step by step...
