    Thinking back on a past attack

    So I had a duck flock already established since 2016, and in 2018 I hatched out more ducklings. I believe it was like 10. Anyway, I ended up integrating, and moving them in with the rest of the flock at my pond, which was fenced off in chicken wire (that was a mistake! they took it down real...

    How many total chickens have you/currently have and how many chickens have you lost to illness or predators? Don't include chickens slaughtered for meat, please. That is a controlled kill.

    One of two chicks died.

    I got 2 chicks from a store on the 16th. They were both a little sick. We were going to get 3 chicks, but the mother didn’t want her to go. Unfortunately, we were informed that the 3rd had died, the mother was sick. The male chick has blue around his eyes, he doesn’t open them a lot. The female...

    Why did my chicken die??

    Hi all! I was so sad to discover one of my 2yr old Bielefelder hens dead in the coop this morning. Nestled into the corner at a funny angle. No signs of illness or injury previously. It looks like she fell off the roost (only 1.5 feet high) and got wedged between the feeder and the walls, OR she...

    HELP! Day 21 Still No Pips!

    I bought a few fertile Vorwerk eggs. It is now day 21 and there are still no pips to be seen. I set up 10 eggs and only 2 have survived since then, (could they just be late hatchers?). Does anyone have experience hatching Vorwerk eggs? Thanks in advance.

    Older hens killed pullets

    we had 4 pullets about 8 weeks. They’ve all been integrated for a few weeks. Things were going well. Not much bullying just the odd peck here or there. Yesterday we found two pullets scalped. One dead and one almost dead. I can’t say it was 100% the older hens but that’s what I’m guessing. When...

    Rooster losing voice after his girlfriend died very suddenly

    Snowball the rooster is losing his voice a today. Normally I wouldn’t be worried but 3 days ago one of his favorite girlfriends died suddenly. The only symptoms she had 3 hours before death were strange sounds while breathing and she couldn’t stand anymore. Could the rooster’s horse voice be...

    People Tampering With Birds in Transit-Stories and Photos?

    I haven’t really seen anything about this on BC but I’ve heard way too many stories about it. This year, in March, we ordered three ducklings to add to our existing flock of 14 ducks. A Chocolate Runner, a Khaki Campbell, and a Welsh Harlequin from Metzer, all hens. We waited till August to get...

    Why do my baby chicks die?

    Hello! I had three chicks (buff Orpington) born out of the incubator two weeks ago. They are now in a big tub in the garage with two older chicks (6 weeks old) with a normal lamp close to them to keep them warm. It is not a heat lamp, as I am kinda scared of the fire hazard with these lamps. We...

    Need Help Identifying Killer

    Good evening yall, I really hate that most of my recent post have been about grim topics. I went outside today to find one of our sweet juvenile chickens, killed. This is the risk of free ranging chickens, especially when you don't have a fence. We had planned to put in a fence either before...

She was hunched down and actually coming near me and letting me pet her and normally she looks at me and likes to run away. When I got back from my doctors appointment she was dead. I go to clean her up and my 8-10 week...

    Green Urate/Poop Death

    One of my coturnix quail dropped dead out of nowhere- perfect health, she was old, except I noticed green poop around the pen. The urate is green, I think, not the poop itself. Should I be worried about my other quail? What could cause this?

I’ve had them for 16 days but I know that they have been alive for at least 23 days because I saw the nest before the mother died. Anyway, there was 6 but now there’s only 2 left because...
