Hi. I have a black Maran that was acting lethargic, not eating, had lost weight and was having the bright green poop that I assumed was from her not eating. I pulled her out of the coop to watch her about a week ago. My first thought was infection or crop issues. Her crop never felt enlarged...

Three years ago we got our first pullets from a local business. They were in our brand new barn with all new equipment. The day we moved them into their newly built coop, one hen was showing signs of paralysis. We left her in the barn and she subsequently died. Very shortly after she became ill...

Hi. This is random but I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with Orchard Hill Poultry. I have an order that’s around $500 outstanding from last year. Brandy wanted to hold off on shipping due to covid shipping delays. I tried reaching out to see when I can expect to see these 25 long-awaited...

Unfortunately we lost a chIcken yesterday. She wasn’t looking well so I pulled her out, laid her on the snow to examine her and discovered that she was just covered with what I think were lice (A TON of teeny tiny, sand colored little bugs). She passed within 30 minutes after I found her. So...

Our chickens are passing something around that I believe is resulting in respiratory infections. They exhibit labored breathing, lethargy and some have diarrhea. The first one had it about a month ago, she died in the way to the vet. Then my favorite rooster got it, he’s the only one that...

Hi, We just started chickens this summer and obviously made a bad decision getting pullets from a local hatchery. One hen came with Mareks. We got through that, moved them into their coop, thought we were through it and had another one with leg paralysis. Moved her out ASAP. Thank God my dad is...

I’m having a rough start in chicken world. I’m literally on my last day of treating my flock for coccidiosis and I’ve have another issue come up. My 10 week old cream leghorn hen seems to be having leg issues. She can walk but doesn’t want to. She’s been losing her balance and ending up in her...

We’re rolling out our 1st mobile coop this week. Second one will be following in the fall. But, we’re debating on the fence to move along with the coop. We have lots of coyotes around here. So, anyone with a lot of coyotes, have you had issues with coyotes jumping your 48” electrified poultry...

Hi, One of my pullets is pooping a lot of bright red blood. It looks like a blood clot. I just put the one that I think it might be in her own crate to see if it’s her. Our coop is about 2 days away from completion so they’ve had very little time ourside. To my knowledge, there has been no...

Hi. My name is Catherine. We currently have 19 hens (mixed varuety) 1 rooster and 3 guinea fowl. I’m planning on getting Black Copper Marans, more cream leghorns and Swedish icebars in a few months because I apparently have a chicken addiction. They’re all from the same breeder, between 5 and 8...
