Anyways I have a turken, aka naked neck chicken, I got her at the end of March, or early april, either way she is only a few months old and not laid her first egg yet. I...

    "Depressed" Chicken?

    Hey chicken family! I have an 8 week old Welsummer chick that doesn't act like the rest of my chickens. I also have two other 8 weekers and four 14 weekers. When I let them out of their coop, the others are so excited, foraging, and running around the yard. She does this for a few minutes but...

    My new Rooster seems depressed, what should i do

    So I bought a rooster less than a week ago from a local feed store. He seems to be a Penedesenca rooster and he’s spurs aren’t fully grown yet so I am guessing he’s about 6-8 months old. While we were watching him at the feed store, he seemed healthy and active. I brought him over to my flock of...

    Unhappy broody hen?

    Hello everyone I want my 6 mo old bantam hen to be happy. She went broody 5 days ago (after seeing other chicks) and she’s sitting on unfertile eggs. Can I give her fertile eggs, day old chicks (would she really adopt them) or is it best to try to break her broodiness? Can she really stay...

    Our chickens are very depressed

    I have one rooster and two hens that have recently become extremely depressed. They don't eat hardly at all, they don't want to get out of their cage in the mornings, and when they do, they just lay in the barn or on the porch all day. I know it's because just last week we lost the main hen of...

They were hatched at the same time. An Orpington chick who the Sussex basically claimed as her own died of Cocci And...

    Depressed Duck?

    its all really a long story. But to make it fast- I traveled from nc to ny with my two anacona ducks. They were best friends (two females) they truly loved eachother. When one died of a predator I got her two more adult ducks to bond with. It was rough at first but finally they became civil and...

    My duck has an extreme case of depression

    My duck used to have a companion until she died. They were raised together and sadly she died at 2 months old. I believe a Fox got her but since the accident my female duck has been crying in stress. I have tried putting her with chickens even chicks and she hates them. She always wants to be...

    Depressed and Grieving Hen

    Help! My chicken, Lavender, is struggling after her "mother" and "best-friend" died. Lavender is a silkie hen, about 1 to 1 1/2 years old, laying frequently (every day). We had an ill Rhode Island Red hen that was her "carer" in a way - they were always together. She got an impacted crop and...
