I thought I knew what was wrong with Rocky, and found a solution, but she doesn’t seem to be getting better. I suspect that she has sour crop, and just needs a lot more attention, but I’ve never seen these symptoms that she’s showing. -A brown/orangish fluid leaks out of her beak whenever she...

So unfortunately last night, before I went to lock the chicken coop, my chickens were attacked by a possum. I currently feel so guilty for what happened to them and not being there. We were able to capture the possum and checked the chickens. There were four hens that had dead and the rooster...

Hello, we recently discovered red chicken mites in our coop. If you don’t know what they are the suck on your chikens your blood during the nights which causes less laying, feather lose and more. It eventually kills them. If anyone has had this before please help we have deep cleaned the coop...
