    Chicken Eye Poked Out

    Should I clean her eye with anything? Does the antibiotic ointment have to be just for chickens or can it be what we use?

    Chicken Eye Poked Out

    My dad's dog was left out unsupervised, and she managed to grab one of my chickens. Along with her being hunched over (the chicken), it appears her eye was poked out. I know I'm probably going to get bashed for this, but please know it won't happen again and we are taking this seriously. She's...

    HELP- Rooster has a critical injury to leg and comb

    I'm going to make this story short so we can get to the important stuff. Our rooster has been aggressive and standoffish since he was a chick. He attacks us from behind, and we have kicked him multiple times. A few times we thought we killed him ourselves or severely injured him, but he always...

    Broody spilled water all over her...was away from the nest a little bit

    My broody hen has been sitting on her eggs for almost a week. She has not left very often to get water or food, so I was very worried about her. We have an old enclosed dog crate where I placed her to hatch out some eggs. I put her food and water in there and it looks like the water spilled all...

    Why are my hens not laying??

    Our chickens aren't currently molting. I doubt that squirrels could be eating our eggs, but I will keep an eye out just in case. I have constantly checked for egg-eaters, but I haven't found any signs. Do you think it would be a good idea to put fake eggs in the nesting boxes to encourage them...

    Why are my hens not laying??

    Ok, I will see what I can do. Do you think that is the reason why they are not laying? This has been going on for a while, even when we did have more hours of daylight.

    Weird umbilical cord attached to egg??

    Hey everyone! Recently, my dad found an egg from one of the nesting boxes that had a weird umbilical-like cord attached to the end of it (I'm just going to say umbilical cord because that's the best way to describe it). The point where the umbilical cord thing attached to the egg was very soft...

    Weird smell in water?

    I usually clean it out every 3-4 days. It is a three-gallon waterer, so I try not to dump it out every 1-2 days and waste the water. Could it be because its so big? Maybe I need to downsize.

    Weird smell in water?

    Hello again everyone! For the past few weeks I have been using ACV in my chickens water to prevent mold. I also add some "rooster booster" as a supplement (that is the actual name). Recently, I have noticed that when I am cleaning out the water it has a horrible smell to it. It is hard to...

    Can roosters eat layer pellets?

    Hi everone! I have 9 chickens in total now. My most recent batch of chicks consists of 4 pullets and 1 cockerel. They are almost 3 months old now, and I was wondering if, when the pullets start laying, roosters can eat laying pellets. I have had hens for the past three years, but no roosters. Do...
