I forgot to mention they are only nine weeks old.

Hi. So recently I noticed that one of my chicks had a swollen eye. It had a little red line on the lId like a cut so I just thought another chick had pecked her in the eye. However, today I realized another chick had a swollen eye and when I did some research I thought maybe eye worms or Coryza...

Hi. So one of my girls ran from the woods squawking but I don't know why / what animal was chasing her. A few hours later I noticed she was limping. There are no marks/ cuts on her leg or feet. I don't know if she just sprained it or its her hip but I don't want it to get worse. any advise...

I decided not to risk trying to give her the chicks and since i cant let her hatch anything, i was going to take her out of the nesting box. When i started to lift he up, she just walked out of the coop and did a big watery poop that doesnt look normal and now shes just standing outside the coop...

Hi! So this is the second day one of my hens has been sitting on her nest. However, i already have three three week old chicks and not enough room to let her hatch chicks. Do you think she would accept the three week old chicks? I know you should wait a few days to make sure the broody is...

I wouldn't wait for the summer .I got my chicks during the schoolyear and didn't have any problems. It would help to get them on the weekend and figure everything out like the temperature. We just put the heat lamp on a timer and raised the water a little bit so it would stay pretty clean and...

Did she have bumble foot? My freind had a chick like that and even once its foot was heeled it wouldnt walk. They tried to give it physical therapy and move its leg for it in a walking motion to try to get it to use its leg again.I think it helped but the chick did still die. Try that but know...

:welcome I've never gotten anything from efowl but Im sure someone can tell you about them. And what a good valentines day present! I wish I could get an incubator! Your idea of starting small is good but when making a coop remember to think about chicken math. Once you have a few chickens you...

Yes. I do not want to kill him. I dont really know what the point of the rooster farm is but they said they let them free range all day then they sleep in a barn. Its nice though because most people I know who got an unwanted rooster just gave them to this place so its easy. they grow a lot of...

Okay. I guess youre right. And I do love chicken pot pie. But my roostr only jumps at me when I get near his hens so if he was somewhere else with just other roosters would he be all right?

I have an agressive rooster who I plan to get rid of and he can either go to a rooster farm or the butcher. I'd prefer not the butcher but the farm said they don't want him if he's agressive but they also said they've never had trouble with any other roosters being mean. My rooster has hens now...
