Just an update for everyone who was helping me try to treat my chook Nigel. She just passed away in my arms, she was fine this morning but deteriorated very quickly this evening and hubby was going to put her down this evening after the kids went to bed. I went outside to sit with her, had her...

Hello, I just want to say thanks to all that have helped me so far. I’ve been treating my hen for a wound for a few days now but I feel like I’m at a loss because she keeps pecking herself! So in the beginning I thought she might have been pecked by my other chickens (as I caught one in the act...

Hi I posted an emergency post yesterday after finding my hen bleeding. Upon inspection of her it seems like this wound has been here for a while. Can anyone tell me what’s going on. It’s a large hard dry/brown lump with little holes where feathers have been plucked. I’m wondering does she have...

hello, I’ve just found one of my hens bleeding from her side, one of the other hens was pecking into her side as they walked away when I came rushing out. I’ve caught her and put her in a cat carrier to assess the situation but I’ve just had my sons school call to pick him up as he’s sick. So...

hello, So I went to clean out the coop this morning and found some odd looking poo from the chooks that I haven’t seen before I’ve attached a pic, can someone please tell me what the white/clearish balls are in the poo. Could it be worm eggs? Thanks.

Hello! Apologies if I have made this thread in the wrong spot. I’m just wondering if you can edit threads you have created after posting them? Thanks!

Hello! Ok so I’m completely new to chickens, I know next to nothing about telling genders etc. The breeders I got them from have a swap over exchange if I end up with a rooster they will swap. ( I’m not allowed roosters where I live ) if there’s any chance you can tell the genders of my chooks...
