My 12 yr old . She lost her 12 yr old friend before summer. I believe she had a stroke and died the next morning. She was a very smart Easter egger. We called her Red. It took a while for my Betty , to warm up to my new girls I got this Spring.
I have had chickens for the past 12 yrs and I have 1 last 12 yr old left. She hasn't laid eggs for some time now. She is a sex link.
I recently got 6 new
chickens breeds . 3 golden comets , and 3 brahmas.. the one I'm having issues with is a golden comets. Never seen this happen before...

I have 20 chickens and 1 rooster. Barred Rocks, Austrolorps, Buff Orphanton, Black sexlinks, and Americanas. Bedding is Pure pine shavings, They eat Tractor and supply chicken crumble and scratch. Just 2 months ago I lost 2 chickens to a sickness where they were doing strange stretching of...
Thats just it, They pretty much started getting this way when spring came along. I buy Layenena feed for them. Purina scratch grains and they get bread or other left-over veges from the house hold. They have never had anything like this at all. Its just horrible to see this happening to...
I have a mixture of 3 yr old hens and 1 yr old hens. The 3 yr old hen started looking like they did'nt know where they were and walked slow practically with their eyes shut doing some quirky thing with their necks. In a day or two they started leaning down to take a drink and fluid was...
