I have a 3-4 year old Rhode Island Red hen who I thought might have a bit of sour crop, so I gave her a sour crop capsule (I've done this before with her, with success). Her back end was pretty dirty with caked up stuff, so I washed it all off with warm water, dried it, and put her back. She...

I would like to put up some window boxes in my coop area, and would just like to know what sort of flowers/flowering plants will not hurt my birds. They wouldn't be at a level where they could actually eat them, but if some of the leaves or flowers come off, I would want to make sure it...

I have a 9 month old Silkie hen who got water-logged in a sudden rainstorm, couldn't get under cover, and when I found her, she'd been badly attacked by my geese, and I assume, the rest of my chickens. All the feathers other than literally maybe 2, have been pecked out of her head, as well as...

I live in FL - have a pair of 1+ yr old African geese, and 4 3-month old Sebastopols. I have been searching the internet everywhere for info on how to make a pond for them - I have a large blue plastic kiddie pool from Walmart, but I have to literally empty it every day - and even tho I am on a...

Hello, I have a 2 year old Easter Egger hen who, yesterday am, I discovered lying on her side, (at first glance, it looked the way they do when they are taking a dust bath, but she was lying in the grass, so that was cause for concern). When I got to her, she was just lying there on her side...

I just got 6 assorted new chicks from my local feed store, and I'm not sure if I should put a heat lamp on them at night. I think I read that for the first week, it should be 90 degrees, so I guess I should at night, but leave a place for them to get away from it if it is too hot? They are...

I have a Norwegian Jaerhon hen who suffered some sort of injury to the inside of her right leg, right at the "knee" joint. She is unable to stand on it - I think it is either broken, or the main nerve is severed or injured. She does attempt to use it just to "hobble" for balance. This...

I have an 8 week old Golden Laced Polish that someone gave me - I'm newly into chickens, and this came from a local breeder who does not have the capacity to do vent sexing. I was told that it was a hen, but it has started crowing - and you can tell it's DEFINITELY a crow - and it is getting...
