My two day old silkie sniffed water up its nose. Should I be concerned. It is acting a little funny. Stumbling and sticking it's neck out really high up.
How could this happen? It lost feather and has a hole in his neck now I had it put down cuz it was so deep and it couldn't move its neck at all. What could have caused this?
So I was at a fair and was playing this game where you could win chickens and there was a bin of chickens and they were all the same age but there was some that were way small but had just As many feather can anyone tell me what kind of chicken this is?[/IMG]
I treated with vet rx. It had a whit ball on the bottom of his eye and soon he lost it. He scratched at it a lot and still does. And I never moved the coop and still no others have had any problems.
A rooster of mine was infected by eye worms. I treated him and kept his seperste from the rest of the flock. It's been three months and he is still separated from the flock. He lost his eye but there hasn't been anymore damage done to him. My question is how long till I can put him back with the...
You have to take into consideration of how occupied the chickens are and how well they are taken care of such as vaccinations, cleanliness, ect...... That will reduce the chance of illness and feather plucking. Don't get me wrong the more space the better but some people don't have a whole lot...

I went out and checked on her and it's about the same size and it's pretty hard there is blood on it that seems to have leaked out. Do you think it is contagious? Like can my other birds catch it? And if not can I put her back with the rest? What do I do? I'm freaking out cuz I don't want this...

Ok, so my rir pullets are between 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 months old maybe close to six. But anyways one started clucking really loud lately and there combs have sprouted and are getting redder everyday. Do you thing they are close to laying ? Or maybe in the next couple of weeks?
By the way there is...
I want ex battery hens so they can live a normal life . Instead of one inside a box. I love chickens and they don't deserve to go to the chopping block after serving everyone with eggs. They deserve to take a brake and live a free life not one behind bars!

And here they are I'm pretty sure they are all pullets because I havent noticed any district saddle feathers!
