Hi there! I’ve noticed one of my chickens, whenever she drinks water, she coughs a bit back up along with a fair bit of saliva and also has a bit of dribble down her chin most days. She’s also smells a little stinky. (Probably weird but) I normally like the smell of my chickens, they remind me...
I have 6 chicks. 3 are approximately 3 weeks old and 3 are approximately 2 weeks old. Atleast one of them has had foul smelling chocolate brown runny poops. Any advice on what could be causing this?
This started a few weeks ago with my hen. I noticed she was smelly so I took a look at her vent and noticed some cheese/egg looking substance crusted on/around her vent. I cleaned it off and after learning about vent gleet I applied anti-fungal cream. She was fine for a while but now it has come...
Hello,
I got 4 ex batts 5 weeks ago and a day after they arrived, three seemed to turn on one hen. She went up and sat on top of the coop a lot to stay out of their way and I noticed whenever she tried to eat or drink she would be chased away by any of the other three.
I used to stand at one of...

So, I Googled the bejesus out of how to fix this. Pages into...
First post from long-time lurkers.
We bought a couple of scrawny chickens from a dodgy back yard breeder. Both had pretty pale combs, patchy feathers. One had a runny nose and would cough/sneeze.
Months later and one of them, the one without the runny nose, is very healthy - plenty of weight...
Alright so this is def not my first time raising and caring for chicks. I ended up getting some chicks from tractor supply this year because the last batch of chicks i incubated destroyed the poor thing so now i cant hatch out eggs anymore. So i had picked up six chicks and one of them was a...
My rhode island red hen began having exceptionally watery, green poop. It smells much, much worse than usual and I can smell it from outside and away from the coop. She always goes to the bathroom in the same place, also, but now she's just pooping in the middle of the coop or wherever. She...
