    Ruffled feather chicks

    My chicks have very ruffled and ugly feathers. I’m thinking it could be a sun deficiency because here in las vegas, it is 100+ degrees about every day so I didn’t take them outside until they were two weeks old. I took them outside because I noticed their feathers were starting to get ugly. They...

    Chicken that never stops talking, even at night

    I got a hen that never stops clucking, and yesterday I put a camera in her coop and noticed she would cluck all night long. I don’t know how long she’s been doing that, but it doesn’t seem normal. She will fall asleep, and then wake up and start clucking. It isn’t the alarm call, it’s just a...

    Chicken poop advice

    Hello! I didn’t know where to post this, since it’s not really an emergency or a disease (to my knowledge). My chickens have very inconsistent poops. At night and sometimes during the day, normal poops; sometimes wet poops, but still solid-ish; sometimes just liquid. Sometimes it’s brown...
