I have 2 11-week old pullets that I've had since they were 1 week old. We ran through the bag of medicated starter, and my bf got new crumble for them. They've been on it for 2 weeks. I had assumed he bought grower feed for them, but- now I was just looking at the bag, and I can't find out...

Hi, Anybody have any ideas? Almost 2 months ago we noticed that one of our year+ old australorps was acting weird. She had dropped to the bottom of the pecking order, and she started at the top of it. So far, she's slowly gone downhill, but is still eating and laying eggs regularly. I'll go...

I have a 6 month old red sex link who has a cloudy eye. My boyfriend noticed it this afternoon, he tested and she is blind in that eye. Otherwise, she is doing fine, eats, drinks, digs, flies up to roost. We don't know how long she's had this. It has been really wet and rainy here, and their...

Hi, I got 3 2 day old chicks just over 3 weeks ago. One of them has been sick for about 8 or 9 days. They told me at the feed store where I got her that she is a "light brown pullet." Her first symptom, on Sunday a week ago, was that she seemed week in the legs. She wouldn't stand on her...

Hi all, I've just joined, since I've recently acquired some chickies to put in the backyard. I am new to the chicks, and just got them over Memorial Day weekend (3 weeks ago). I brought home 3 2-day old chicks for the bf & me to raise for eggs. We got one Rhode Island Red, one red sex link, and...
