    Diarrhea, lethargy, and not eating

    Hi guys, one of my Tractor Supply Easter egger hens, ~3 years old, has been lethargic since yesterday morning, looks like she hasn't been preening her tail, and she has watery diarrhea and her fluff is all dirty from it. Her comb got paler than usual (she's always had a big floppy comb though)...

    Hawk attack

    Today one of my hens got attacked by a hawk or something, but I scared it away. She lost feathers on her back, but only one area seems to be injured, and it's not even bleeding. I put her in a separate cage, but when she was walking earlier, it seemed like each step was extremely heavy. Then she...

    My goose is sitting!

    My 18 month Embden goose has gone broody. She’s been laying for about 6 weeks now and started sitting yesterday.

    Sitting chicken???

    just picked up a silver laced Wyandotte. She’s about 14-16 weeks old and nice and healthy. I’ve started noticing today that she just keeps sitting. She will walk around (a little bit awkwardly) and then just sit down and eat. She still jumps onto twigs and branches and even onto her small...

    Chickens won't stop sitting on the nest. NEED HELP

    So, a bit of background for the past few weeks, when this problem started. With 8 chooks, and only 3 people in the family, we have plenty of eggs. So sometimes we go a couple of days without picking up the eggs from the coop. It's not normally a problem. If a chook starts sitting on them, they...

    She's laid her eggs, how soon to go broody?

    Our duck has laid a baker's dozen, and it's been a couple of days without any new eggs, how soon should we expect her to go broody? And how many days, of her not sitting on them, should we allow before we put her eggs in an incubator to hatch? Yes, we DO want this first batch of eggs to hatch...
