Hello!
This morning when I let my chickens out, I saw that one of them had their wing out and up, as if stretching or something.
After a few seconds, she wouldn’t lower her wing, so I gently pushed her wing down, and carefully put her longer wing feathers together, and back into place. When I...

I have a California hen name portia, today when i went out to put all the chickens up I noticed something off about one of her wattles. My husband said he saw her fighting with our wyandotte rooster cash who is an absolute a$$hole. When i took a closer look it was barely hanging on with a smell...
Hi!
In Fall 2020, one of my hens molted early, in November/December 2020 two of other my hens began to molt, one of the two had a hard molt.
When winter ended, my hen that hard molted fully grew her feathers back, but my other hen didn’t. Two more of my hens have this odd feather loss that...
Hey everyone. I thought I could get some input on something one of my hens has been doing lately, head twitching. Check out the video I have attached and let me know what you think. She is a black sex link living with two other hens right now (my other chickens are at various ages right now so...
Please help- first timer here. Have three cayuga eggs here on day 28 of the hatch. Two no movement, no veins visible (suspected dead in shell), one was moving this morning when candled, this evening I candled it first time from above to check for the air sac (which was there, pointy shape...
Hey again, I am just wondering if there is a place to bring your ducks where they wont get eaten? What I mean is, I'm moving and can't bring them with me. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do because I raised them and don't want to see them go but I know they'd be happier then moving to...
3 days ago, I acquired 3 Ameraucaunas from a backyard breeder (whom I have never used before) 2 pullets and 1 roo. They are 3-5 weeks of age. I noticed that their droppings were very smelly when I first got them. After a day of having them, symptoms began. I came to feed them in the morning and...
This is my chicken Hoop, the guy i brought her from said she was an Ameruacana. It’s been 8 months since i got her and she hasn’t laid an egg. I thought maybe she was stressed or something but i don’t think so, because Hoop is my most playful chicken, the way she earned her name is because she...
Hello!
So, November 2020 through January 2021, my chickens were molting.
Only one of my hens had a hard molt, another lost feathers around her neck, while the others barely molted.
The hen who had a hard molt grew her feathers back 2-3 months ago, while my featherless necked hen didn't. I...

I bought three chickens in early March this year (they are about 11-12 weeks old). we were told they were hens but I'm not too sure.
the two black chickens in the photo below are very protective of each other and we have heard a few coockadoodles but I read that hens can still crow in rare...
Hey so..i am not a usual chicken owner or anything but, a couple of weeks ago a random chicken appeared infront of my house, so i took it in, it seems to be a laying hen and seems to be doing alright apart from soiled back feathers, while the oviduct of the chicken seems clean.

Hello, I’m new here and I tried finding help on other discussions, but no luck. My duck Sunny just today started to look like this, not once have we had a problem with her, and our other duck Penguino seems fine compared to her. She struggles with preening and cannot preen her left side, only...

Hello! I’m a first time owner of three ducklings who are a little over 4 weeks old. They’ve been doing great, but I noticed that the two pekins had an open wound on their legs so I’ve been treating those with Vetericyn Plus 3 times a day which are healing.

Hi everyone, I need some help.
I just got some new chicks and one of them has been acting funny.
She is falling asleep every few seconds constantly throughout the day, losing her balance and jerking. I tried to unload a video and it wouldn't work. If you know how I can get the video to post...
Please help!
I noticed that one of my girls had a very light pink comb, googled and it said it could be worms. Ordered homeovet wormer, administered it in their water. But now another one of my girls from a separate coop has a floppy comb and isn’t wanting to eat. I dusted them and their coops...
