    Bloated bottom... AGAIN!

    Hey y'all, This summer I had a hen, Big Mama, that got very bloated. Her tummy was really squishy.. but at the same time, hard? Her tail was drooped & she just kind of "slugged" around. I posted about her & got loads of great advice. We chalked it up to the heat (come to find out the coop...

    Hen with poopy butt & sluggish

    I have a hen that has just been acting... off. She has had some runny poo that's now stuck on her feathers. Also, she's been acting sluggish. Still eating & drinking, but she's walking with her tail pointed down instead of up, like all my other girls. 🤔 I don't entirely blame her, it's been in...

    Can I help my sick chicken without going to the vet?

    I have a Golden sex link that typically has a bright red comb. Lately her comb has turned orange (pale) and she is sluggish. I often find her laying down in the middle of the yard with her eyes closed. My wife and I are going to isolate her to check her poo, food consumption and if she is laying...

    Bantam pullet is slow, sluggish

    I have a flock of twelve at the moment, with six more on the way. We've just moved our latest chicks in with the big girls, and I noticed something strange. Our Belgian D'Uccle bantam has always been the tamest, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's less that she's tame and more that she doesn't...

    Dozens of dead and dying chicks.

    This is...well...a bit of a rant post on top of maybe some suggestions as to what I can do. I made two orders of poultry, tallying 110 straightrun (and one rooster), so 111 chicks altogether, between Ideal Hatchery and Welp Hatchery. They both shipped Wednesday this past week, and...

    Hen Vomiting Feed And Acting Sluggish

    Today, when I went out to feed my chickens, my young pullet was acting strange. She (I think a Brahma bantam) was sluggish and quiet. I took her out of the coop and found she had a piece of straw stuck in her throat, but when I tugged on it, it wouldn't budge. It seemed to give her difficulty...
