    Chicken's Feathers Won't Grow Back

    Hi everyone! I have a Golden Sex Link who lost feathers on her head and neck at the end of last winter. We thought it was maybe her first molt (she was about 1 yr old at the time), but as our other 4 chickens have gone through their first molt this year they've followed a very typical molting...

    My Chicken can't kick the swollen/ sour crop

    I don't know WHERE to start. I have a chicken named Runty. Why? She was the runt and the guy I bought her from directly pointed her out and said "don't count on them all making it."

I’m wondering if this is a case of bumble foot or could they just be callouses? I also noticed that my other...

    3 month old rooster making hiccuping noises

    Hi! I gave my 3 month old chickens the 3 month old chicken feed, and the 3 month old rooster started making weird hiccuping noises. It is very infrequent though, and he is also behaving very normally, pecking around, drinking, interested in life. Although this hiccuping noise continues after 5...
