Hello! I have a three year old black star who as of this evening is having difficulty walking and has her tail all the way down to the ground. I just noticed after work (husband says she was fine this morning.) She did eat some today. I soaked her in an Epsom salt bath as soon as I noticed, and...

Hey everyone! I have a chicken who just developed what I believe is water belly. After some research, I want to try adding some things to her diet. Buuut...aside from knowing brewer’s yeast, eyebright, and oregano are good to try, I’m not really sure how to introduce them. Can I mix all of it in...

Hey guys! Just noticed today that one of my girls has some swelling/redness in her vent area. You can only get a good look when she bends over. She is alert, eating, drinking, socializing, and I BELIEVE she is still laying, though I will be able to make certain tomorrow. Not sure what I should...

I currently have three chickens - the county allows 4. They also, however, allow ONE duck. Seems pretty silly to me because I imagine ducks are social creatures like chickens? Anyway, I’ve been thinking about the next couple of years when my chickens slow down on egg production. I’m not going to...

Hello! I have three little ladies - a red sex link, a black star, and a black australorp. They are all about 18-19 weeks. On Monday we found our first two eggs in the coop - both small and brown. One was clearly from the day before, and one was fresh. We had our suspicions about who laid it, but...

Hello! One of my girls, an 11 week old red sex link, has one eye that is about a fifth closed - not much, just enough to make her look suspicious with me from one side. The other side is fine, and her two flock mates eyes are fine. I noticed this a couple days ago. She has been sneezing, but not...

Hello! I have a 7 week old black australorp girlie who is starting to get a slightly pink waddle coming in and it has me nervous. She’s my sweetest girl, so if she’s actually a He, I’d like some time to find a place for him where he won’t get eaten. Any theories would be excellent! If you need...

Hello! Brand new chicken owner here. My three girls are coming up on five weeks or so. All three are eating and drinking and pooping as usual. They’re all active. The other two are friendly as can be and looking very feathered. My Black Star, however, is a little less social (she’ll hop on your...

Hello! New to chickens here! This morning when I was checking on my three chicks, I noticed one is now making a coughing/sneezing sound. She seems okay otherwise but the noise is really concerning me. She’s a little less than a week old. She’s in pine bedding, and has been drinking and eating...

Hello! I brought home three chicks today - an australorp, a red sex link, and a Black Star. When we got home I tried to show them the water, food, and brooder. The three vary in ages between a few days and a week. The youngest went right to the brooder plate and has been there since we got home...
