Hello. So I have a 2 year old hen who has been going through an extreme molt. I didn't see her yesterday and today when I saw her, she was having a hard time breathing. Her tail was also down and she could barely stand. I seperated her immediately in a small cat crate for overnight until I find...
I ran out of feed yesterday and today I have just been giving them scraps. I probably won't be able to get to Tractor Supply until Monday which is 3 days from now. Can they go 3 more days of just scraps from around the house? If not, I'll have to figure something out to go tomorrow. Thank you in...
Non of her symptoms got any worse so I did nothing. She is still doing fine a year later. So I say unless they show more severe signs (nasal discharge, foaming of the eyes, mucus coming from mouth, etc) than your fine. If it's more than just sneezing an open mouth breathing once and a while than...
I've looked and no foam in their eyes or drainage from nose. They have decent ventilation in their coop and I let them out for an 1 hour everyday to free range. I hear them sneezing in their coop multiple times per day, one of them more than the other, and I see them sneezing and shaking their...
I have 2 hens, living in the same coop alone, they both started sneezing and shaking their heads. Their coop gets dusty so is this the cause of it? Should I treat them with something? No other signs so far
Thank you, my bantam was a sebright, I have owned them before and they always ended up to be more aggressive. Small but mighty lol. Thank you for your advice. I think I'll have to do that. Only question is, is there people that will take her even if her hat is already messed up?
Hi everybody. I just wanted to ask a question. I have 2 hens, one Polish and one big Chochin. They grew up together since babies with me. They are almost 2 now, and they live alone in a smallish coop but big enough for them 2, thoughI know they would perfer more. A little while ago I tried to...

I looked into my scratch bag after not using it for a while and saw a TON of these little black bug. Are these bugs safe to feed the chickens? I'm just making sure they won't go into there feathers and are safe for them to eat?
Yes that's exactly how I feel. I love my father but I just wish he understood. I think the best thing I can do is just throw out anything bad he might give them before he gets to it, and just pray nothing bad happens.
Hello. I'm just asking for some advice. So I live with my parents. So this makes the chickens all of ours. Anyway, time and time again, I tell my father how bad mold is for them. He is stubborn and says that he gave it to his chickens in the past and it didn’t kill them. Anyway as many times I...
Are you sure the antibiotic ointment won't hurt the other one of she gets a bit in her mouth? I just don't want anyone getting sick. Also would this one work?
So I have a almost 1 year old Polish hen who always has her hat picked off. She used to live with 2 others (a sebright bantam and full size
chochin). Anyway a few months ago the bantam would not stop picking off her hat so I rehomed the bantam. Now she just lives with her chochin sister which...
