I have 9 chickens and one rooster. I got them because of covid but they're feed is getting expensive and egg production has gone down.
I want to rehome my chickens i dont want to post on craiglist because im afraid they would get used as meat. And honestly i dont want that. I live in san antonio...
I have a hen who just all of a sudden started sleeping.She was very active she liked to run outside but now she just stands and falls asleep.I do have a rooster who also has been almost like snoring when he i pick him up.But im worried about my hen she is 1 year old buff orpington she has laid...
Every hour.Hes in the brooder but i need help he wont stop chirping to the point where i think he could lose his vocal cords.But also he isn't eating he picks up the chick feed and drops it.How do i get him to eat.
At this point i assisted him and he was stuck on the membrane he is peeping loudly in the incubator but in the egg shell there was green almost like poop.
On the nest box she was not laying but standing she didint do the tail up and down thing when hens are about to lay she just stood there tail up moving hay around.Like i said before i had to put food in her mouth to get something in there and with a syringe i gave her water and calcium crushed
