My leghorn looks sad really. She usually lays an egg a day but I havent seen one from her in a while. Shes only a year old. She is open mouthed panting a lot lately, even when I brought her inside. I was able to easily go and pick her up which was my first sign something was wrong as she is...

Day 23 incubating and not one sign that they want to start hatching anytime soon. I candled before lock down and saw movement although hard to spot. Do I just keep them in the incubator and watching? First time hatching.

My hen stopped using her left leg yesterday morning. I saw her laying in the middle of the yard. She just started laying so at first I thought she was just confused haha. But when she got up she was hopping along. I've had her in my bathtub on towels and food and water in there. Shes eating...

Just got this guy today and wow hes Wiley haha. No spurs yet but the person I got him from said around 6 months. I can see the little nubs starting where the spurs will come out. Is he just a mix or an actual breed? I dont care just curious. I have 10 hens. 5 Easter Eggers, 4 buff orpingtons and...

I'll attach a picture. I think one has bumblefoot but she isnt acting different or walking funny but I did notice it looks swollen and black in the center on the bottom of her foot. Then I have 2 with these bumps on their feet, sorta between the toes. One has them between all toes and this one...

My little flock of 5 Easter eggers are becoming trouble. I had a visit from my neighbor today that they went over to his house and dug up the flower bed and all the mulch. He understood they are just being chickens but I have to stop their wandering. I found them 2 yards over before. We live on...

I'm looking into getting 2-3 goats. We live in south Texas, it's November and it's still pretty hot outside, not even a nice cool 80 or so. What would be the best shelter? We will be using the goats for milk. Also what's the easiest fencing to put up? Thinking the Nigerian dwarf or mini nubians...

They have their own enclosed area to keep our big dogs away but I think a cat jumped the fence into their enclosure. I have an Easter egger cockrell about 4 months old that is now missing feathers all around his neck but no visible bite marks. He is just standing around and doesn't run off when...

I have (had) 3 laying hens. One astrolourp one RIR and one (what I think is) old English game hen. We moved and they seem to really like their new area. They were laying just fine and now the last few days I have only gotten 2 eggs and it was from my astrolourp. Usually my game hen laid 6 eggs a...

We just moved to a new home and the chickens are not allowed in the entire yard as before but we have a very large fenced in section of the yard for them. Anyway, flies are a huge problem. It's dry and I try to keep it clean by picking up the poop. Can I hang one of those stinky fly water bags...

Just picked this gal up. She looks Americauna to me but the lady kept saying aracauna. Is there a difference even? Thanks for your help

I have a young duck. No feathers yet who is bleeding in my house on his neck and head after the other chickens clearly beat her up. She's chirping and walking around fine eating and drinking. Should I worry? There's visible blood coming from some of the areas.

I just got this little guy/girl from our feed store. (The two yellow ones are silkie chickens) they didn't know what breed they where as they where Hatchery special. I was wondering if anyone might have any idea on a breed? She said for sure not Pekin as she already sold all of those. Any help...

So I'm moving and no longer have a limit on how many hens I can have so I'm getting 4 more in about 2 weeks. I have 3 now. So with having 7 hens I will have a very large portion of my yard fenced in for them with their big coop inside to keep the dogs and neighborhood cats away. Anyway I...

I'm wanting to order some chicks. I don't and can't order 25 at any time. I'm in the city. I checked out Meyer since their mon order is 5 but they basically have none of the chicks I want avail unless straight run and I can't have Roos in the city either. Any advise?

So I've been told this is a buff orpington when I got her. I've had buffs before and they were fluffy with the typical (puffy butt) this one looks scrawny and not even close to the size or "puffiness" as my RIR or astrolourpe. My other buffs where smaller than my cuckoo maran so I expected her...

I don't have a run for my chickens we are going to be moving soon and will make a large run there (since we are taking in my grandpas lab and pit mix after he passed and they would love chicken for a snack lol) but these ladies keep kicking the cedar shavings into their bowl as well as pooping...

So I've booted my month old pullets outside to their big coop. We are supposed to get a little cool no lower than 55 this week. I'm in texas so it's definitely warm up season. Do I need to bring them back in my house for the cooler weather or will they be ok? Maybe put the coop in my garage with...

Ok so above is the playhouse that I'm turning into a chicken coop. As you can see there is one full wall the rest is open. My plan this far is to cover the opened areas with hardware cloth on the inside. The outside will have wood shutters. My hang up is the nesting box. I don't want to cut into...
