I have a chicken who was attacked by a raccoon which we suspect got her right eye because she won’t open it and there was blood on the right side of her face and neck but there where no more visible injuries and on day three of her recovery we noticed something wrong about her neck.

Hey, do you guys believe Jesus is coming back in 2024? I am asking cause google said that was a thing a lot of Christians believe, and because my local radio stations have become half Christian in the span of 1 week, and it is getting close to new years. Also, if you know what is happening with...

And she is still not laying eggs.

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year and 5 month old Easter Egger hen and she just started loosing a bunch of feathers starting from 2 days ago. I don't know what to do and i'm very scared something is wrong. When I also touch/pull out her feathers gently, it falls out very easily. Could this be...

Hello everyone, it would mean very much if you saw this thread and helped me out on this. My EE hen has a sprained leg and she is getting pecked a lot by the other hens in the flock when she just started to have her sprained leg. She is the lowest on the pecking order compared to my other 2...
Hello everyone, one of my Easter Egger hens (Smokey) is limping whenever she runs. However when she walks slowly, she walks normally and doesn't limp. She eats and drinks perfectly. She does lay down in a corner because she is not feeling well about her foot. It seems like she is limping towards...
Hello everyone, I have been using sweet pdz for about 2 months from now, and I was wondering if I was doing everything correctly (I'm pretty sure i'm doing it wrong).

Hello everyone, I bought one of my roosters at TSC and I'm not sure what breed he is because when I bought my 4 chickens, the TSC staff marked all of them as leghorns which was "wrong". I think he may be a blue splashed Wyandotte x Easter Egger.
EXTRA: I'm also thinking to buy some mealworm...

My 2 month old pekin duck is breathing extremely hard and looks like he’s panting. He has access to a pool of water and shade when outside but he seems to keep panting like he’s extremely hot. He just started doing this and my other Pekin duck (same age) seems to be just fine with no extreme...
