Had my first hawk attack. Got the chick back. From what I can see it has just a small little cut under its one leg. It is making a weird noise when it breaths/peeps. Kind of like a light gurgle puff sound. Sounds like a light hand air pump when pumped.
Cleaned up the wound and have it...
White Brahma is about 3-4 months old. Not sure if it's a he or a she.
Next to my welsummer rooster it's defiantly fatter and a little bigger. Not sure how big these are supposed to be
What's up with her eye. Her eye was goopy when she was a chick like she got pecked or something. It cured up and has been fine for about 2-3 months now and then this. Any idea what it could be. I wiped it down with warm water this morning. It's goopy and a little bubbly.

Found one of my chickens dead tonight. Dont know from what. No apparent attack from anything and she seemed pefectly healthy. The only thing that it could be was she stole a piece of pizza from my daughter today and ate some cheese befor they could get it back. Could that be it??
3 chickens. 3 poopy butts. one of my girls; a buff orp.; constantly has a dirty rear and no matter what i do i cant keep it clean. Ive given up on her. My cochin is usally a little dirty just cause she has extra fluff but today i noticed she was really gross. And befor they went to bed i...
So i let the girls out this morning and noticed that my newest girl; a salmon faverolle; has a bloddy spot on her comb. great. Is there anything that i can put on it to help keep the other two girls from pickingit apart? They havent really excepted her yet. They chase her around the yard and...
I have a salmon faverolle that keeps shaking her head. No sneezing,snot or anything else. I am beliving that its just her trying to get her beard out of her eyes. Any other ideas as to what it might be. It looks like a nervouse twitch almost. I had to just get rid of her boyfriend and the other...
Is 16 weeks too young to be feeding layer. I just put two birds in with my older ones that are laying and have a bunch of food left. i dont want to go buy a bag of flock raiser to use for just a couple of weeks. I do have a lot of start and grow left over from when the were younger that i could...
At around what age do chickens usally start "getting busy"? I have an Ameraucana and Salmon faveolle i want to get together. They are both 4+ months old. The AM is the roo and im really hoping they get it on befor he gets too loud and i have to give him away since i live in a neighborhood.
Yeah its gross. If she would hold still i would just blast her with the hose. I had to dust her with DE the other day and when i held her up side down she started flapping like crazy and flung poop all over me....i almost barfed
Not sure if this goes here but.... I have a chicken that cant seem to keep her butt clean. She always has poo pasted to it, and its not just a little. It almost seems like it is just leaking out. I have cleaned her in a hot bath and that lasted for a couple of days and now its back. Shes pretty...
Im going through the same thing. I gave my birds a bath in warm water, dried them off, and then put a heavy coating of DE on them. i also through a bunch of it in their coop. It had a ton of mites in there. After all that i havent seen to many around. I will blast the blast the birds again with...
I got a cochin from my feed store and they order from ideal and i think shes great. Actually all the ones here are from there but the only one that i kept is the one up front. I think they are good quality and i would order from them
Im getting ready to put my two "flocks" together as soon as i get my new coop finished. I was wondering if theres an easy way to switch up the pecking order. I have 2 groups of 2 that im putting together. One group is about 9 months old and the other is close to 4. I want to put my one, more...
