    Hen Wheezing and breathing heavily after Dog Attack

    When I found her, she seemed limp and hurt. Took her from dog, and wrapped her in a warm towel. Brought her inside and checked. No physically bleeding injuries, but it has been a bit and now she is alert, but not holding herself up. She keeps her eyes shut, and mostly is limp. She was breathing...

    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...

    Can I vaccinate chicks after 24 hours?

    Hello all! Please let me know if this is better posted elsewhere. I'm ordering chicks from a small farm that doesn't vaccinate their birds. They go to great lengths to keep their flocks isolated and free of disease, including making sure they don't come in contact with wild birds. However, the...

    Trying to work out if my new chickens are girls or actually boys.

    Hi all, I’m trying to work out if my chickens are pullets or cockerels? I think the two white ones are pullets from researching and the golden lace Wyandotte is a cockerel.

    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. The weather has started to warm up...

    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    Hen is Behaving Strange

    My hen, last night, started to walk very low to the ground, different from her usual crouch. She also has her wings lightly agape. When I, or her favorite person, my dad, calls her, she doesn't respond. She hasn't even been responding to the chirps of our rooster, and usually she'll sprint to...

    Baby Chinese goose not walking unless I help her move by gently picking her up and pushing her butt. She takes a few steps then falls

    We bought her from the store where we buy all of our chickens, ducks, turkeys. This time we thought they where just strange ducks… they where Chinese baby geese. We assume one is male and one is female. One is very tall and loud the other is small and quiet… she is strange looking but she’s very...
