    One of our hens was standing in the corner of the run and staring off into the distance so we brought her inside and gave her a salt bath, some water, and a scrambled egg with a crushed up calcium citrate pill in it. We put her in a basket lined with a towel and after maybe 30 minutes, she...

    Speckled Sussex? Breed Mixup?

    Help!! I got these babies from my local farm store, Family Farm and Home. 99% sure that they were labeled as Speckled Sussex, but I didn't take the paper home that marked their breed.

    Assisted hatch help needed. Wrong position

    I've been assisting one of my call ducklings that internally pipped. He's doing great. The other two eggs hadn't and as it's day 26 I was afraid they were shrink wrapped. I opened up a hole (they were shrink wrapped) and added coconut oil to soften the membrane. One of them is in the wrong...

    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!

    Problem Identified

    I came home today and one of my chicks having a large soft "mass" located just under her beak down to crop area. It doesn't seem to bother her or cause pain. This is my first time keeping chicks so I want to make sure it isn't something I need to worry about. Victoria

    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...
