She looked dead. I called for my husband. We cautiously approached the motionless bird. Then she blinked and we...

I realize now that was a mistake and will properly quarantine from here on out. However, I have a serious issue...

    Lethargic Sick Chicken - help!

    I have a 3 year old buff Orpington that we noticed had been a very swollen abdomen around the date of the 15th of March.

    Rooster circling a previous sick hen

    A few days ago we removed, what we thought, was egg bound hen. We took her inside and did all the tricks that we were told to do. She never passed an egg but she was pooping and looked better so we put her back in the coop. Immediately my rooster started to circle her. We left her in there...
