Its fall and almost winter my turkins (chickens with featherless necis) are not mixing well with my other chickens and I am worried that they will be too cold. My larger chickens sometimes pick on them so they won't go into the coop. I set up a dog kennel in the run for them but I don't think...
My turkin's neck looks super broken and I'm concerned she doesn't look in pain but I can't exactly tell and she drinks water but haven't seen her eat after her neck "broke". She also acts normal other than laying down a bit more and I am really worried so any help would be appreciated.

A couple days ago my rooster started limping i gave him a little extra by bringing chicken scratch to him directly and carrying him closer to food and water but it got worse and now he won't get up and I put in a small, well ventilated shed with food and water. I got him to drink water but he...
My two baby chicks are almost fully feathered and not as big as my other hens. When should I take them outside, they have free ranged together but sometimes the bigger hens pick on them.

I have two pekin ducks and when they were swimming i noticed that their feathers were soaking up more water. same with my buff goose. they haven't gone swimming for a while now. if that has anything to do with it. they were also getting out of the water and drying of getting back in repeatedly.
m dog was fine with them at first later in the day she killed two. I don't want to sell her either. im stressed. my chickens don't deserve to be locked up all day.
