    Bertha is running a fever

    I noticed yesterday that one of my chickens was huddled in the corner by the deck, not acting right and very lethargic. I was unable to get to her because I recently had a hip replacement. My son noticed her doing the same thing today. We brought her in the house and have been giving her...

    Chicken lethargic after beak-trimming

    I have four hens in my backyard coop; two Easter-Eggers, a Barred Rock, and a Rhode Island Red. All of them came from my local feed store, which sources their chicks from a local farmer. They are about to turn 6 months old. About a month ago, I noticed one of my EEs, Audre, had a crossed beak. I...

    Longtime lurker, first-time poster!

    I've been reading BYC for months, but I finally bit the bullet (or perhaps "bit the bug" is more appropriate in this context)! I have four hens in my backyard coop just outside Denver, Colorado. We've got two Easter-Eggers, a Barred Rock, and a Rhode Island Red. All of them came from my local...

    Help! A soft crop after other illnesses. What now?

    My poor flock has been through so much during this wet, wet summer here in south Florida. I added some new hens to the flock and did not quarantine thoroughly enough. The new hens ended up showing respiratory distress, then lesions. After many of my flock were also infected, I sent the sickest...
