Update: having a hard time getting her to eat and she is trying to lay down and on her side. Got her to drink some vitamin water and take just a couple bites this morning. I can get her to open her eyes and she will be alert for a moment, but then she goes right back to sleep. I am new to...

I just checked for bugs. I see some very small, tannish colored bugs. They look like sesame seeds. Help! What do I do to get rid of them on the chickens, in their coop and now in my bathroom!! I've tried to find a picture and research if bugs can be fatal for them...can anyone refer me to...

So sorry...what a terrible accident! Sounds like your favorite rooster had a happy and (spoiled ) life.

I don't think you said how long this has been going on, and I am a newbie, too...but, it sounds like you should at least remove her from the flock until her wounds heal. Maybe then you could try to re-introduce her. We had a silkie who was being picked on pretty hard, but not to the level you...

I'm new to raising chickens, but we had a silkie with a swollen and draining eye. We used my daughter's pink eye antibiotic drops and kept her eye as clean as possible. She didn't care much for it either so usually I held her while my hubby applied the drops. After about three days of twice...

Sweetpea, just think-- in a few weeks this will all be over and you'll be enjoying your new chickies! It will all be worth it! Also, keep in mind Craig's List...we found lots of local folks selling chickens through Craig's list and through our local farmer's bulletin, which made me really...

We have a new backyard flock (15 babies right now and my DH keeps sneaking in more) as well...we've been sitting in their pen at the end of the day with them. Seems as they get sleepy, they get friendlier! We've even had them flutter up into our laps and on our shoulders!
