I only have 3 Rhode Island Reds, well now 2; although they are 4 years old, they still lay well and are real beauties - I bragged about my chickens a-plenty. Never sick, hardy and real sweethearts. I was shocked when I came to give them their early evening snack of mealy worms and gathered...

I have three Rhode Island Reds and they have been super healthy for the year they have been here. All was well yesterday. Today I found one of the girls just sitting on the ground and not walking around at all. She has her wings spread out. Her eyes look fone, respiration is fine, and she is...
