Hi I have a 4 year old mixed breed chook who sits around a lot.I noticed when she does stand or walk she limps. I have felt around her legs and checked her feet but she seems fine? She runs for food of a morning so she's not super bothered by it, but will choose to sit and eat and lay around all...

I have a chicken who seems a little off, she walks around for a bit and then stands still for long periods of time and at time just nestles her head into her wing. She's not acting normal (she's normally running around up to no good with her twin) Two days ago, (probably yesterday aswell) and...

Our dearest chicken (literally like a child to us - we have no real kids) - Flomp - has been getting very slow and lethargic looking over the last week, took her to the vet when it started but they dont know alot about birds at that particular vet and they thought best to keep watch and see if...

So came home from work today to and went to let my chickens out for the afternoon. One of my chickens "Dottles" was making this terrible wheezing, noise..kind of like the air from her breathing was affecting her voice and made a loud noise as she breathed. I looked in her mouth to see if i...

Probability of any Aussie on here looking for a free rooster is slim, but I'm listing him everywhere to try get him to a new home ASAP! VERY URGENT give away!! We moved recently to a new area with neighbours who obviously don't like them crowing. We got a notice from the council about noise...

So what I have are 6 mixed breed layer chickens and 1 rooster. 2 weeks ago we went away for 6 days and had our neighbor look after them. Our neighbor said they had stopped laying after one day he had let them out of the pen (even though I said he shouldn't while we're gone because they didn't...

(continuation of my egg question yesterday...this thread will be Kaz's first egg hatching progress! ^_^ ) So our little girl Kaz - the mixed bantom/layer hen chicken has been broody for over 5 months now! We tried breaking her a few times, but it never lasts very long. So yesterday we...

This is our Rooster who goes by all sorts of names...mainly Rooboy or Rooster booster =) He's 11 months old, and had perfect red combs up until about 2 months or so ago. Each morning when I let the chooks out he'd come out with fresh blood on the comb. I though He might have been trying to...

I have a mixed breed mystery chicken part mixed layer, part bantom...she has a little rose comb but all feathered and about regular chicken size rather than bantom size...but from 6 months old she has been broody! To start with I made a wire pen for her to 'break' from broodyness. Took...

It's been 2 1/2 years since my last incubation! So it's time to put more in again! We decided new years day would be good since we wern't going to be away after that! And could stay with the eggs to turn them =) I have a mix of 12 chicken eggs, all of varying sizes too, I have no idea on...

I have a 2yr old layer hen who has been a bit off the last couple of days, she feels very heavy compared to my other girls, walks like she has a ball between her legs and does alot of sitting around. She eats and drinks fine, not sure on droppings as i havent caught her doing any, and i'm not...

Hi! My now 1 year old chicken, Penny has these strange black spots on the bottom of her feet. My boyfriend thinks it could be bumble foot, but they aren't swollen or bleeding or anything like that. The spots are like black callus'. I took her to the vet to see what thye'd say and they said said...

Hi! My chookin 'Arnie' doesnt look very well today. She hasnt eaten a thing in about 10 hours. All she wants to do is sort of ' squat/stand' in a shady spot or most of the time she's doing the same thing right next to the water bowl. She's drinking HEAPS but will not eat anything. At first I...

One of my girls, 'Imposter' Hasn't been behaving normally the last couple of days. She's usually full of life and the most talkative chook of the lot! Recently she's just sort of crouching down, not quite standing, not quite sitting. Her tail is usually down, she wont move around much and tends...
