Our silkie hen fell into the pond yesterday evening and very nearly drown! I don't know how long she was in the water. When I saw her she was weakly struggling to keep her head above water!!! I was able to fish her out but her head did submerge a few times during the rescue effort. She...

I Have a young EE hen about 8 months old or so. She was perfectly fine 2 days ago. Yesterday I went to check on everyone and found her sitting on the ground. She poked like she was having trouble walking and sort of waddled around. I took her in and looked her over. She is one...

Pullet or roo? I am guessing on age maybe 4 months..? Not laying.. not crowing and a tad smaller than my other chickens who are 5 months. It is suppose to be an Easter Egger I noticed some wing feathers looked like they where coming in uneven... but I give up on trying to feather sex

oh dear. I was suppose to have two Buff Orbington Pullets but now I am thinking one is a rooster. I got them at 2 months old and they both looked the same.. though the one in question was a little bit bigger than the other one. The waddles and comb have come in much faster than the other...

I know I live in a coon infested area. I see them at night, I hear them chatter in the woods, I see their footprints down by the stream. But I was always under the impression that as long as the chickens where locked up at dusk they would be safe from these. I thought that IF I left...

Daisy was eggbound last week. I gave her oil soaked bread and the next day the she had laid the egg. The egg was covered in a weird skin membrane with a normal egg inside She has not laid again and today I see her vent looks swollen and there seems to be a sore on one side (like a chicken...

I have a barred rock pullet, Daisy, who has been laying for about 2 months or so.. She lays every day but sometimes skips a day. The other day I went to let the chickens out in the morning and heard the "egg song" coming from the coop. I saw Daisy on the nest and assumed she was laying.. But...

I recently got two Barred Rock Pullets to turn my flock of One into a flock of three. The pullets are in "new bird quarantine" and have been in my care for about 9 days so far. Everything seems great with these girls. Eating like champs very active and loud. Not sure their exact...

I have two female chicks.. a RIR and an Easter egger. Both about 5 or 6 weeks old. Almost all their feathers have come in except for on their heads. I do spend a fair amount of time with them. When I take them outside they follow me. When I sit on the lawn chairs they come and hop up on...

I use to have 2 pet chickens (they where barred rocks) when I was a little girl and always wanted some more. Now that we are in our own country house with 2 acre of land I felt now was a good time to get a few pet chickens. We picked up two little chicks, a RIR and a Ancona. They are all...
