Last week I have hatched a baby chick from the incubator and I have been feeding the baby chick mullet and mealworms plus grubs. I am planning to buy feed and I don’t know where to start. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
Hey, all.
Cool little story, picked up this coop back in 2014 on Craigslist in New Hampshire. Got my first chicks, stumbled through building a run, had a great flock for a few years in the New Hampshire winters. Pics attached.
Moved to New Jersey in 2017 and left the coop to the new owner...
my dog bit my new baby chick I've never had a problem with it but today 6/15/24 it bit it and now the baby chick seemed fine nothing wrong but later on I noticed its gut seem to becoming out from it behind and my dad told me to leave alone but i still called ever vet i could but they seem to...
All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...
I have 5 Starlight Green Egger hens, and while I feel like there isn’t too much information about them, here is what I absolutely love about them as a first time chicken owner.
- I have never had aggression come from these chickens. Not even my rooster (who went to a farm). I’ve never felt like...
I have a SGE with what looks like a weird, Lightning McQueen looking dual tail feather thing going on. None of her other flock members have this. Normal or no?
Warning: dead chicken photos.
Can anyone help me with what could have happened. I need to know if it looks anyone like it could have been something contagious that spread to the rest of the flock.

So today i noticed my hen being alot quieter than usual, so Ive had a look at her and the only things i can find wrong is this black spot coming out of her pupil, it seems like its irritating her as she has this eye shut most of the time, its dilating but only very slightly.
She also seems to...
Hey guys, I'm curious to see if you can guess this breed. I know what she is but I thought it would be fun for you to try and figure it out.
P. S. Her name is Gail
Hi! First time chicken owner here - however; we have been just that for over a year and a half now. Everything has been great thus far. It all started when Drew (my fiancé) finding a Cornish Cross (meat bird) that had fallen off a truck. Long story short, we decided to take him in and care for...
I've got this silkie chicken that I've had for almost 5 years now, I've recently noticed(while picking her up) that her face absolutely stinks, at first I thought that maybe she needed a bath, but the rest of her body smells fine, its just her head, as I said I've had her for almost five years...
Hi everyone,

Hi,
My neighbour has seen our new chicken coop go up, as our girls are almost ready to go outside. She has come knocking as they have a child with cystic fibrosis and are worried about our chickens. She says she will be phoning the hospital to seek advice as she was told birds are a big no so...
Hello! It’s a long one so buckle up.
My husband and I are hobby chicken owners, we have a small flock and one of our chesire blues suddenly went very bloody (rare, I know)!
A friend had fertile cream crested legbar eggs so we set 5 under her (she has since laid 3 of her own which we have left...
Good morning,
I have some chickens that can't get up or walk. I have her in a little box adjusted to her size and I feed her and drink her. I just don't see any improvement...

This morning when I let my chickens out of their run, I noticed one of my most active chickens, Babygirl, stayed behind in a corner of her coop. I opened it up and started talking to her, when she started squeaking helplessly and looked at me— one of her eyes wasn’t open. She seemed very scared...
I have a hen that is not acting right. Her name is Scottie, and she just turned two years about a month ago. she’s been acting very lethargic the last week or so but I’m not sure what’s wrong with her her symptoms are…. Weak and walking unsure of herself, kind of a bit like she could fall over...
