I came home from work to find my Cayuga didn't seem like she is feeling 100%. I will list the symptoms and what I have done. If anyone can offer advice it would be appreciated. My other Cayuga didn't make it during shipment so I really REALLY don't want to lose Sonia Duckstoyevsky!
The first...

Hello everyone! My grandfather has been having an issue with one of his roosters. He has found it in the “dead chicken” pose at least three times with its right leg stuck out behind it stiff as a bored. He said it appeared to be 95% dead every time, it’s eyes are dialates, and it has a...
Hello -
I have a ~3 year old Buff Brahma hen who's been acting odd for about 4-6 weeks. I've pulled her from the flock and have her spending her nights in the house in a dog-crate, so I can monitor food and water. I'm very new to chickens, and I'm constantly second-guessing myself with them...

I still can't figure out what's wrong with AdaIda our 4 year old red sex link.
She was sick with anemia from mites about 3 weeks ago and seemed recovered from it, but for the last week and 1/2 hasn't been herself.
We were treating her for crop issues, but now I am not sure.
She goes...
Help! I just got these guys about 2 days ago and I noticed some of them have a hard poop cap over their butts. Is there something I can do to help them? I don't want to lose any. Thanks so much!
I went out to check food and water this morning and AmiJo, one of my top hens, was dead in the run near the fence. I have checked her for predator damage and have found none. I admit that a few other things have been going on lately that have caused temporary changes but given the odd mix of...
