I’ve had so many deaths in my flock recently due to illness and it’s so frustrating. I have previous posts on my other chickens and how they died but just now I had another hen die but under different circumstances. My Brahma was a little under a year old and just died out of the blue. Before...

Hi everyone today i’m absolutely devastated. Another one of my hens is acting sick and lethargic and I have no idea what’s wrong with my flock. For some backstory, two months ago I had two chickens die from an unknown illness. They were both acting lethargic and got worse as the days passed...

Okay so my rooster just recently died and i’m not sure why. He’s around a year old and had been acting weird the past few days. He was acting lethargic and tired. I didn’t notice him not eating/drinking but I don’t think he was doing much of either. A few days ago i decided to take a look at him...

Hey y’all. So my chickens are on purina starter/grower feed and they just started laying eggs. The eggs have really hard shells and seem very healthy. I also have some chicks that are around 6-7 weeks old. I don’t wanna have to buy two different feeds for them so would it be okay to continue...

So I have two problems with my chickens! of course. Problem #1, earlier today I picked up one of my silkie chicks to check it for PB(I got two silkie chicks from a breeder a few days ago) and I saw a little white bug crawling on her! At first i thought it was mites but mites are usually...

So my mom just got some silkies from a breeder. My other chickens are from the same reeder and we got a silkie from her too back in April. I don’t remember my last silkie being this damn ugly😂. So i have a few questions about them. The two new silkies have pasty butt and they’re missing vent...

Today i got four baby chicks from tractor supply. This one was supposed to be a straight run EE, but looks like a red jungle fowl chick. I’m not really sure. If it is a jungle fowl, can i return it? I added some pictures below. Thanks everyone :) EDIT: I forgot to mention my tractor supply was...

I ask so many questions but i just love it here! So anyways, back in April i bought 4 chicks, a EE, serema, frizzle cochin (bantam i think), and a frizzle, who are around 9 weeks old now. A few days ago I brought home 2 more chicks, a tetra tint and a bantam cochin who are also 9 weeks. I didn’t...

So i’ve had chickens for a few months now and i’ve been obsessed with them!! I absolutely fell in love with owning chickens and doing research as I go, but the more research i do the more complicated/discouraging it gets. I’ve been reading more about diseases and illnesses chickens can get and...

I was thinking about making a coop out of a kids playhouse. They’re pretty cheap, large and have a lot of windows(i’m from florida so my coop needs lots of air). I’m thinking all I would have to do is put in some nesting boxes, wire screens, and some perches. Is this a common thing to do and...
