Hello, My hen had 4 chicks that are about a week old. One of the chicks keeps getting left behind. It wants to keep up but it seems weak. It was totally fine yesterday. The chick is alert and able to get up, walk, and chirping. Any suggestions?

I wanted to know how you can tell if a hen is still laying. I went online and I read that you need to feel the bones UNDER the vent. One article said that If you can only lay one fingertip between the bones, she isn`t laying. Two or more and she is. However, I saw a video that said the...

Someone gave me a 5 month rooster. He just started crowing. Does anyone know the breed. My Boyfriend and I think there is a chance he's a road island red and mixed with a game bird breed.

Thank you again to everyone who helped me through this with their advice and support. We thought about putting him down today if he didn't make it this mornging. When I woke up this morning and went to go feed my goats and pigs I was sure he wasn't going to be alive. However, he was eating...

Yes that's what my husband told me this morning. We don't want him to be in pain and depressed. It's just hard because I got him when he was 2 weeks old.

He free ranges the whole back yard and i feed him lay crumble. I don't really give them treats that often.

I have soaked him about 3 or 4 times today in epson salt and decided to give him a break. He's in he's own coop and run with food and water! I'm going to keep an eye on him today and will soak him again tomorrow. Hopefully that helps him with flystrike!! Also his comb is starting to look a bit...

I found this very long time ago. It has been very helpful I hope it helps you as well!!!

He's a speckled Sussex and is 1 and a half. He doesn't have a lot of feathers around his vent because he pulled them out. Which is why I noticed his vent was plugged. I'm going to try putting water around the vent area tomorrow and home it works!! I'm so worried and don't want to lose him :(

Yes his vent, the only reason I noticed he had poop was because he started picking his fethers that were around his vent area. He's not eating a lot. Also, it looks like his vent area is clogged which is why I'm very worried. I've had hens for 3 years now and never had this happen before. So I'm...
