I am seeking expert advice from all of you! This week, on consecutive days - DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS - my only two adult silkies were killed. They were found in a nesting box within their Snaplock coop (same box - but one on Sunday, one on Monday). They were completely intact with no signs...

My 2 year old wyandotte hen is probably suffering from heat stroke and I need information or advice please. For some reason, their coop door was shut from 9pm last night until 2pm. We never close the doors because their yard is secure on all sides, so I suspect one of our teens did this...

Our 6 month old brahma pullet is being aggressive towards the other chickens. She is top mounting some of the other hens (pretending to be a rooster) and picking on the other girls - with a few specific target victims. I though brahmas were supposed to be sweeties. Any thoughts on how to stop...

My 6 month old gal starting limping two days ago. I separated her in a crate. Today it's worse. I cleaned her feet for a better look. Is this bumblefoot?

Need advice! I have an established flock of 6 hens and 1 Easter-Egger Rooster (he's a bit of a jerk). They are 18 months old. We now have a flock of 6 to 8 week olds that consist of 5 bantams (not sure of sex, including brahma, cochin, silkies, cornish) and 7 standard pullets. Right now...

I have a 6 day old Delaware who I found standing with eyes closed two days ago. She showed no interest in eating but when I helped her she would drink water. I've been feeding her with a tiny syringe - miniscule drops of liquid (yogurt, yolk, water, and a drop of nutri-drench). She will eat...
