    Chickens and Poisonous Plants

    I have all of those plants, shrubs and trees in my yard and my chickens free range every afternoon. Mine have never eaten any of them. Just this weekend they ate some new rhubarb leaves. They all look fine. I’ll let you know if that changes.

    I know potato skins are bad but...

    In the late summer I opened up my garden fence to my potato patch and let the chickens free range in there. Low and behold, they ate all my potato plants. They dug and scratched and pulled up some potatoes but did not eat them. They had some packs and scratches on them but they didn’t eat them...

    Chicken Attacked by Mountain Lion

    I had a young chick about 4-6 weeks old attacked by a hawk last fall. I saw the hawk in the run and ran to it as it flew off without a chick. I was counting the chicks and was missing one, as I saw it lying there looking like it was dead. I picked her up, she was alive. I checked for...

    Gender reveal please anyone x

    I have a RI Red rooster. He was almost 6 months old when he started crowing. It was at the same time the hens stared laying their first egg. I think he was bragging about it. ;-)

    Sick chicken - Impacted crop?

    She looks like an Ameraucana, if that’s the one in your photo that you think may be ill. If so, I just want to say, I have two of them and they are the only ones I see suffering from this heat. They have been panting and drinking a lot of water. They also get very watery stool from the excess...

    My Rooster has a fat lip :-(

    I just went to the tractor supply Co. That’s where I got him. They seem to think it’s just a wand and I should try some triple antibiotic ointment for a couple of days to see if that helps.

    My Rooster has a fat lip :-(

    I may have to wait until tonight to check inside his mouth. He’s not easy to catch and I don’t want to cause him too much stress. At night he is easy to handle. I did notice today that the right eye looks a little bloodshot and inflamed. We do have many mosquitoes here. It very well could...

    4 day old chick died. Looking for some answers if possible.

    You said she was peeping a lot and very loud. That would have told me something was wrong from the start. I would ask for a replacement. If the rest are fine, it probably wasn’t anything you did. I hatched 9 chicks almost 4 weeks ago and there has only been the happy, content, quiet little...

    My Rooster has a fat lip :-(

    Earlier yesterday, I was out with my chickens and it looked like my rooster had a piece of debris on his eye. I figured I’d check him out later when he goes in to roost for the night. As my chickens were filing in, I noticed his face looked a little strange. They went up to roost, that’s when...
