My two 10-month old Americaunas keep getting out by flying up on top of the laying boxes (outside the coop) and then jumping into the 5’ fence. We have tried clipping their wings but they still get out and since they can’t get back in, they find a hiding spot to lay their eggs. I thought they...

We have a large raised bed planter at the back section of our chicken run which was once completely filled with vinca. Our chickens ate it down to the ground and over time their scratching has exposed roots of larger plants and trees. I need suggestions for bedding material I can use in this...

I need help! My 4-year old Brahma has diarrhea (sometimes watery), a messy vent and hasn’t laid an egg in over a month. She also prefers sleeping in one of the laying boxes and not on the roost. At first, I thought it might be the layer pellets because the feed store ran out of the Bar Ale...

I have a 3 1/2 year old Brahma with abnormal droppings/diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. I have already bathed her once and did a 5-day coarse of corid (1 teas./1/2 gallon of water) but her droppings still don’t look normal and her vent area is covered again. Any suggestions? Could it be...

Has anyone had an adult chicken that has survived wry neck? I have been syringe feeding her with Poly-vi-sol, vitamin E and prednisone that I crushed and diluted with water. She is not eating and starting having occasional seizures a couple of days ago. Trying to decide whether or not to...

My 1-year old Delaware was possibly attacked about 10 days ago. She was making quite a racket and when I looked outside, she was flapping her wings wildly and then fell to the ground like she was dying. We live in a residential area so the only daytime predators are cats and and maybe occasional...

A few days ago my 1-year old Deleware was squawking and thrashing all over the run and then laid there like she was dying. I thought she had been attacked. I went out and held her and a half an hour later she was back to normal. Now she just wants to be alone. She doesn't seem to be eating or...
