    Any updates on this? Two of mine have been doing the same thing. Milky water shooting out occasionally, no interest in food, very little water.

    Sick girl help

    Hello all! I have an 8 month old Blue Copper Maran who has been a little off the last 3 days or so. Kind of foraging, kind of self isolating. Just not as active and perky and not eager to eat treats. She has had clear watery poop since this has started and has not been laying. She has been...

About a week ago my welbar has a small amount of blood from probably a feather so decided to separate her. Its been 4 days and her new feathers are coming in. I think my main two aggressors...

    Integration Questions

    There is plenty of space and ample hiding places. They have been fully together for about 3 weeks. Mainly just want to make sure they are eating and drinking enough since it’s so hot.

    Hen not eating or drinking

    I have a 6 month old Black Australorp female who has been acting off the last few days. Today when I let them out she kept having some clear discharge and ended up laying a soft shell egg that had ruptured. She isn’t interested in food or water. I am in Florida and we have had record heat. What...

    Got these as two day old chicks, all sexed as female and are now just over 5 weeks. I thought they sent me 3 black stars but this one has light feet and my other black stars have dark gray feet and this one has a ton of gold. The others the gold is not nearly as prominent. It was solid black...

    Feather pecking

    They do get veggies pretty regularly. Whole cabbages, lettuce, and cucumbers are their favorites. I forgot i do that too. And a high quality berry scratch every morning. They say not to give too much of that so they only get like 1/4 cup daily which seems like nothing to me lol. But I dont want...

    Feather pecking

    They have a 4 tier tree perch that is floor to ceiling, a literal piano to peck at and sit on, a big swing, a large branch, treat toys, and dust baths. I am working on a little garden bed with mesh over it for them to pick at. Would love other enrichment ideas.

    Feather pecking

    They don’t. I don’t trust them to stay on the yard or that something won’t get them. So i opted for a large run/coop situation. They have a perch tree to climb on. I could use some idea for easy/cheap enrichment.
