    Wry Neck or Something Else?

    Hello everyone, this morning I noticed this chick's odd behavior and I'm not really sure what it is. They don't seem off balance and they're eating and drinking. I added some vitamins to their water but I'm just a little worried about what it could be. The video can't be posted here for some...

    Mites…?

    Hi, so I’m fairly new to chicken-keeping and I got a silkie a few days ago and recently discovered she has some reddish microscopic dot-like bug things..? Any idea what could those be and if they’re dangerous? Also how to possibly get rid of them? Thanks for all the help!

    What is wrong with my chick's wings?

    Hey there, I recently picked up a batch of chickens from rural king (I already regret it). I got 4 Easter Eggers, 5 Black sex-link, and 4 Rustic Rocks. Of the 4 Rustic Rocks, 1 died at about 2 days old (not sure why), and two of the remaining have some odd wing issue. One of these seems to be...

    What’s going on with my roosters comb ?

    I noticed a small crust spot starting on his comb a few months ago. It was the start of winter and due to the cold weather and my work schedule I decided to just keep my eye on it until the weather warmed up a bit, as I didn’t want to risk freezing his comb.
