    Roosters fighting

    I’ve had 2 roosters for over a year. My OG Hootie and his son Kyle have been fighting here and there until yesterday Hootie was no where to be found. I ended up finding him down in the woods crouched down and traumatized. I think he was defeated in an ultimate battle. I ended up putting him in...

    Hen acting strange

    How would your recommend me giving it? On top of feed or in water? Do you think it would be a safe bet to try giving her a dewormer at this point? Or do you think she’s just an organ failure?

    Hen acting strange

    She is about 3-5 years old (our previous owners of our place left her so I don’t know exact age) she does lay eggs, but I am not sure if she has laid in the last week. I have not seen any soft, shelled eggs as of recent. I will try to insert a glove finger now to see if there’s any obstruction...

    Hen acting strange

    Yesterday I noticed my hen walking weird and standing like she was straining or trying to lay an egg. She’s eating and drinking fine. Her vent looks normal besides having a little bit of poopy butt. Her abd feels swollen. I thought she was egg bound but after I isolated her, she is pooping. Any...

    Dwarfism or bantam?

    I have a baby chick that is 6 days old. She isn't growing as fast as the other ones. The first night she wasn't eating or drinking, but I was able to nurse her back to health with watered down yogurt. Now she has been fine, regular part of the pack, and eating and drinking normally. But she...

    Chicken illness or lash egg?

    So I am not opposed to using antibiotics. Is it going to help? Or just prolong the inevitable? Is she an internal layer? She seems to be acting completely normal besides the standing weird and yellow poops. and she hasn't started laying eggs yet, but is 22 weeks old. I just want to make sure I...

    10 new babies emerged from the woods!

    The only thing I was worried about was the fact that shes been in the woods for 3 weeks and not with the rest of the flock. So I didnt want to take chances and put them all in the coop with the others right away.

But it is thick and full of blackberries. I...
