    2 Year Old Barred Rock Hen Losing Her Voice?

    My 2yo barred rock Pepper appears to be losing her voice as of yesterday. She normally is quite vocal and has a clear cluck/scream but today she is quieter and her sounds seem more garbled and strained. Her comb is nice and red, she is running and flapping and digging with all her normal...

    Ducklings with missing down (bald spots)

    Stupidly, I bought some chicks and ducklings from someone near me. I realize now it was a "backyard breeder" situation and I should have avoid the situation. What's done is done. I bought 6 Old English Game Bantams in varying stages of age (something like 1 week through 4 weeks of age) and 4...

    Should my chicken be standing like this

    She’s not always like this just sometimes, it looks like hair back is lowered. Her poop is normal, eats and drinks. She isn’t laying eggs but I’m guessing it’s because of the weather? My only concern so far is I feel like her crop won’t get full by night time. It feels like she ate very little...

    Red in me duck’s poop?! Is it blood?

    I was changing my duck’s diaper tonight and I noticed some red in the diaper. I have not noticed this before. This is the first time. He’s been acting normal and happy otherwise. Is this cause for concern? I’m very worried!

    About the Same Chick

    Hi this is the same chick about my other question. The chick is maybe 6 days old now and something new has occurred. Since this chick was a surprise we warm up 3 bags of water and put towels on top so the bags stay warm throughout the night. But today I went to a massage and a small errand for...

    Lump on chest of chick?

    Good evening, One of our chicks has a large, round lump on her chest. I know that chickens have crops, but this seems larger than her sisters and hard. This is also our baby chick who has random bald spots, so I'm getting worried. Does it look normal or should we be worried?

    Duck nesting with no eggs

    I have a 3 year old welshie who has never shown interest in raising a family. She has built the most luxurious nest in the coop. She is sitting on it in the morning when we let them out and check for eggs, but leaves with the rest of the ducks. At some point she returns to the nest, which never...

    Possibly being too concerned about duck behaviour?

    I have gotten a pair of male and female Runner ducks about a week ago (9 weeks old), that I have been letting have run of my garden (probably about 15x20 meters?). The first couple of days the ducks were very fearful and refused to come out of their coop (an important thing to note is that the...

    Vent swollen/red

    Hey guys! Just noticed today that one of my girls has some swelling/redness in her vent area. You can only get a good look when she bends over. She is alert, eating, drinking, socializing, and I BELIEVE she is still laying, though I will be able to make certain tomorrow. Not sure what I should...

    Constipation in 3 week old chicks

    I have chicks being brooded in the house since their hen rejected them. The weather was hot enough to put them out in the grass under the wire top of a hamster cage (with a brick on top of course) so they can scratch in the dirt for a few hours. The last few days have been raining, so they've...

    Duckling eye problem worsening

    Hi, I've been posting threads for the past few weeks in regards to my now five week old white crested. She has an infection in her eye (we think from getting to close to the heat lamp as a baby) I have been rinsing it with saline and applying Terramycin to her eye, but it does not seem to be...

    Hello! I have a 9 month old Easter Egger. She is my matriarch of our now only 2 chicken flock :( (for now!). I have noticed over the past few days feathers in the bottom of the coop, and today could see feathers just dropping off her as she went about her business. I suspect she is molting as I...

    Roosters can puke?!

    Of all the years I've had chickens, it never occured to me that they can throw up. I guess anything with a digestive system can, but I had never seen it happen, nor read about it. But today, as I scattered cracked corn and mealworms about the yard, I was watching my rooster go for a peck at the...
