Thank you again for responding. He is about 8 mos old, and I have not added any new chickens. There have been no changes to his or their diets or living arrangements whatsoever.

Thank you so much for responding. I just got home and opened the coop to let them out for a bit. I helped him up and he started walking but is falling to the right as if his equilibrium is off. He flaps his wings to help himself balance, so his wings are fine. He can walk, but continues to...

Please help. I'm not very experienced when it comes to raising chickens. But started with 3 in 2014 and now have 8 and 1 rooster. He was crowing just like normal this morning and at about 12:30 in the afternoon, I looked out and saw him laying on his side in the run. He's still alive, but one...

Acornewell, Thank you so much for responding. It appears the phase my chickens are going through is quite normal which is a relief. I will definitely up the protein in their diet. I have been giving them dried meal worms daily but not a lot. Thanks again for your help and best to you...

Thank you familyfarm 1 for your response. That really makes me feel a lot better, mainly about the hen. She was really looking rough. Hopefully they will begin laying again soon. Thanks again.

I am a new chicken owner and don't know what in the world i was doing before life with the girls. I so love these interesting pets!! I live in town and only have 3 hens and no rooster for obvious reasons. About the beginning of January when the girls were about 10 mos old, molting started. Had...

That's a good point. I will give them another day and see what happens and won't give them the treats. Hopefully they will start eating the new food, I just didn't realize that it would be that different from what they had before. Thank you for your input.

No, unfortunately I didn't think of doing that, I was completely out of the starter/grower. Do you think I should get another bag so I can mix it together? I never buy the 50 lb bag of feed, always the 20 and thought this time I would get the 50 lb to save time and money. Wouldn't you know...

I have 3 chickens that are 14 weeks today (July 31st). Up until yesterday they were on Dumor Chick/Starter Grower. When I went to the local feed store a couple of days ago, they suggested I switch to the next step up Dumor Poultry Grower/Finisher feed. I started them on this new feed this...

Oh thank you Kathy. I was so worried, so I really appreciate your response!. That's one stressor I can cross off my list thanks to you!! :)

Hi, I am a new chicken owner and own only three chickens that are 4 months old. They are my pride and joy, but I recently noticed bare spots on what I would call the temple of one of the chickens on each side. I have another one that is the same breed and she doesn't have the same bare place...

Hi, About 6 wks ago we purchased a baby duck and three baby chicks to raise in our backyard for our granddaughter. The duck has far surpassed the size of the chicks and I just feel the duck would be happier in a pond with other ducks. We live in town and keep them all in a chicken coop with...
