I have a four day old chick who started sneezing yesterday. She was born with wry neck so I've been treating her for that. Today she looks almost normal! But I'm concerned with the sneezing. What can I give naturally for sneezes since she's so young

Hi everyone New chicken mama over here ( trying not to panic). So my last chick that hatched basically was born with Wry neck. Right away it was always flipping onto its back and couldn't stand or walk. I would say the wry neck is pretty bad. She can't walk or stand really because she star...

I had a chick hatch either early this morning or late last night and I put it in the brooder box and that's when I saw a thin string attached to its actual vent. It's like a thin brown string going down his back side with a black hard thing attached to it . I've tried washing it and putting...

I have a hen who paces back in forth along the fence of her run making this loooooong noise! It's so annoying! It sounds like she's stressed or something. There's no grass in their run because they ate all of it. Could she be wanting the grass on the other side? I can't let her free range. What...

I need help! My little giant 6300 won't go up 43% I filled all the channels and put a wet sponge in there. I don't have a second thermometer humidity reader so I don't know if the gauge on the incubator is correct :( The temp is 101. Today is day 19 and I removed the egg turner yesterday. I...

Hi there :/ I feel so defeated I could really use some help. I have three hens. I put all three in the chicken tunnel and one of the hens(who's on the bottom of the pecking order) got her head stuck through the tunnel and pulled off her comb halfway off her head. When I went to check on them I...

So idk if my hen got her comb stuck in her chicken tunnel or the other hens picked at her but her comb on the back end is completely off her head and bloody!! The middle front is still attached. I took her out and put some blood stopping powder and also put some antibiotic ointment. I have her...

First time hatcher here! I am currently on day 11 and I've seen some great veining and movement! I did see a blood ring on one which was a bummer. So I have 41 eggs in the incubator right now. Should I remove all the eggs from the turner on day 17 so that day 18 I don't touch them at all? Or can...

When our hen first got here she had a cold. It was treated and now she's all better. But when she had the cold she had a very stuffy nose so I tried everything to un block her nostrils. My last resort was peroxide to help loosen the boogies. That helped and she healed a couple days later. So in...

So I have three hens! A red star, black star, and a EE. The red star already started laying large light brown eggs. I've never heard her sing! She's a quiet egg layer I guess which is good! So my EE hasn't started laying yet and I was in the kitchen and I hear "bawk bawk BAWWWK!!" I ran outside...

Would any of you Floridians in the central Florida area be interested in some Black Copper Maran chicks? I could drop them off if its not too far or local pick up! If you want other egg colors let me...

Hi guys I'm trying to figure out why my black star prefers to ONLY eat soft mushy food and has NO interest in eating her hard dry pellet food. So i took a picture of her beak. Can this be causing something? I know its not CRAZY long but i'm running out of ideas :( & i will be working crazy...
