    My Rooster Is Succumbing to Heart Failure

    A couple weeks back, I posted about my 2.5 y/o bantam salmon faverolle roo, Oz, who had been vaguely "off." I'd since taken him to the vet, who concluded he had a heart murmur and would likely deteriorate over time. As a hail mary, I tried antibiotics, since I know some heart issues can be...

    Meet Grounder; my one eye guinea

    Here is my Guinea hen, she is amazing and lives mostly in the house. I had to help her hatch out of her egg, she was feet 1st and struggling. She fit in fine as a keet but when I moved them to their coop, things changed. I always noticed she was smaller, slower and would not roost up high. And I...

This is my very first post, and unfortunately, it’s one that comes with some heartache. I have a small little backyard flock - three sweet Red Sex Link hens. They are 9 months old, and...

    Silkie died! Sudden Death Syndrome?

    My 8 1/2 month old Silkie cockerel died today. I witnessed it and can only conclude it was Sudden Death Syndrome or something similar. All my birds were foraging quietly in the backyard. I was talking to DH in the side yard separated from the back by 4’ chain link fence. I heard a sharp...

    What killed my hen and how do I keep my flock healthy?

    Yesterday we lost our one year old Australorp, Peppa. The day before she came out of the hen house with the rest of our flock and seemed normal at breakfast. A little while later we went back down to the coop and noticed that she was letting out a runny, stinky green-brown poop. Then she went...
