I have a hen with mareks that has survived 2 weeks , she got it first then another one that died but she is still alive. Is she worth trying to nurse back to health or just cull her. I figured she survived this long that she is putting uo a fight. She eats and drinks on her own and poops out...
My rhode island red hen hurt her foot somehow an is not putting weight on it. She can curl her toes downward and walk on it but not put it flat. I am also worried because she pooped recently and it smelled awful and was almost orange and straight liquid, i know this can happen but this just...

This is my coop its 5 by 5 in the coop and the run is about 5 by 8 and like 4 foot high. I have 7 chickens and 1 on the way , 4 rir , 2 americaunas , 1 barred rock and 1 polish hen on the way
I got three new hens and my four orginal hens wont let them out of the coop and into the run. The old hens r not hurting the new ones sometimes just looking or moving toward the new hens makes them go crazy and they always stay in the corner of the coop. Its been two days now.
Got my first egg two days ago and haven't got one since I have four hens and two roosters what is wrong? Is it normal when they first start to lay? Also the egg was perfect not misshapen like many pullet eggs
I have some kind of rir hybrid maybe USA Browns idk. My hens have large red combs and wattles and r only 16 weeks . Will they begin to lay soon or will it not be till 20 some weeks?
My chicks are pretty well feather developed at about four weeks. One is far ahead of them and the other black one is pretty far in maturity but they all seem too hot . My house is 67 degrees and I want to know if I can turn of they' re brooder light so I can get them used to the cold nights.
Our weather is very weird. One week it was 75 and the next snowing in April... I'm not sure if they should go into the coop yet , not sure of their age between 4-6 weeks and the one is huge and almost fully feathered . The black austrolop is very friendly and big and got most of his feathers ...
I will post of pic of what I am trying to turn into a coop , I already have the wood for the run , but I need osb plywood for the coop itself . The treehouse is cedar that is stained that is 13 years old that is still very sturdy and not rotting .
This hen has been maturing a lot quicker than the other chicks and I just wanted to know if I can start letting her go outside for a little everyday. She is about 2 weeks but looks like 2 1/2 or almost 3 but she has about 4inches of real feather when she flaps her wings.thanks and sorry about...
I really want chickens but my mom is halfway there and found someone to buy chickens from at her work. My dad, well I don't know he is always in a bad mood and I asked him one time before and he said that we don't have enough time and also that It would draw predators onto our little one acre...
