    2 week old chicks are unable to stand

    I am having the same problems. I posted a concern on this site last week and then again last night. Not only are the new chicks effected, but for some reason my laying flock has had two issues in the past week. I did not have a death before last week and I had those hens for almost a year...

    Another sick chicken

    Hello. I have 22 adult chickens - 21 hens. I recently purchased 40 chicks from the same company I got my current laying flock from. Last week I lost a hen. She was the first adult I had lost. I have lost 8 chicks and now I have another adult hen that is showing the same symptoms as the...

    Lethargic, no appetite, shivering, not wet

    Hello. I have a challenge for you. I have a small flock (24 chickens and 7 ducks). I live around Binghamton New York. I check on my birds at least 2 times each day. Today I discovered a hen that refused to move as I entered the hen house. The remainder of the birds were out doing their...
