Hey yall we've had chickens for a few years now and we're not sure on this one. We have this 11 week old Easter Egger "pullet" that has a comb/face much redder than the rest of the 8 younger chickens in her flock or of other chickens we have raised in the past. We have a separate small coop and...
Hey all,
My wife and I have 3 chicks. One ISA Brown and 2 Jersey Giants. We got them from tractor supply a little over 5 weeks ago. We were wondering if they are ready to go in the coop. We were not sure how old they were when we got them but they were small chicks. I will post a couple pictures...
We lost her on day 6. We tried everything we could. She ate the full teaspoon of coconut oil. And we treated the whole flock with corid for 5 days. The other 3 chicks are doing fantastic. Thanks again for your help. Now we know more and are better equipped to deal with this in the future.

3 days ago she developed what seems to be a drool/mucus that...

We have 4 chickens in our brooder. 3 days ago our ISA brown jumped and hit the screen at the top of the brooder fairly hard (screens 20 inches or so high). After she hit it she started acting lethargic. She isn't wobbly yet but she closes her eyes often while typically standing upright. 2 days...
