    Baby Chinese goose not walking unless I help her move by gently picking her up and pushing her butt. She takes a few steps then falls

    We bought her from the store where we buy all of our chickens, ducks, turkeys. This time we thought they where just strange ducks… they where Chinese baby geese. We assume one is male and one is female. One is very tall and loud the other is small and quiet… she is strange looking but she’s very...

    Hen starved and I'm not sure why

    hi guys, so Cookie, the hen I was posting about in the summertime, ended up making a complete recovery after those threads - after a week of isolation, treatment for impacted crop, daily baths, and pellet/egg mash, she brightened up and acted normal and healthy, and I put her back w the others...

    Entire flock bullying one hen (and feather plucking?)

    It seems every day with my flock there's a new problem. This one is a really weird case. So recently we had bad snowy weather and I was unable to let the chickens out for a couple days. I didn't realize they were low on food and so a couple mornings in a row they were starving and I had to give...

    HELP! MUSCOVY skin and bones

    Please help! I adopted two Muscovys over a month ago. They both did great and were quarantined for two weeks. Seemed to be the picture of health, were laying eggs. I do not know their age, but they appear to be young. The smaller of the two and younger, from what I can tell, is now seriously...

    Bird sitting on ground, sluggish and barely eating, deteriorating

    One of my chickens that I got from a friend is now sitting on the ground in the coop, and isn't moving around too much. When I put food in front of her, she eats fast like she's hungry, but then stops before too long. Her crop is empty in the morning, but was only slightly filled at night. She...

    Starving chickens

    I have had 5 chickens for about 3 years with no problems. This spring one of them became broody, so I got 7 chicks for her from IFA. One failed to thrive and died after about 4 days. The rest seemed healthy. They grew into pullets and I was going to give my mom 4 of them, but suddenly one of the...

    Any advice on making a chicken eat?

    She seems fine except 1) she's shaking her head every few minutes or seconds as if to shake something off and 2) she hasn't eaten with any regularity in a week and a half. She's interested in food in theory - she'll peck at kale, for instance, and until she got too weak and tired, she was...

    Neighbor's Chickens Trying to Join My Flock

    I'm having an issue with my neighbors flock storming my run and eating like they're starving whenever I let my girls out to supervise free range. It wasn't always like this: a few of the neighbor's hens who were always getting bullied would come down and snack/hang out (I also saved one from...

    Starved chicks... one dead and one with enlarged crop!!

    I will preface by saying that I am really screwed up... I start with the story of what happened and end with my plead for help. We purchased two three week old splash silkie chicks to add to our flock of juvenile silkies from a wonderful small local hatchery. They supplied us with what we...

    Severely Depressed Houdan Rooster- Help!

    Hi! I have a 7mo old mottled Houdan roo (has not started mating or crowing yet). I raised him and a Polish hen in the house, because my only mature hen (silkie) took the other chicks fine, but rejected these two. They have been VERY close from the time they were a few days old. When they were...

    Chicken not eating at all! Need help ASAP!

    my ameracauna hen hasnt eaten (i think she hasnt touched the food put out for her) for w few days. I've set her aside to try to figure it out. I've seen her drink, but she refuses to eat, and is very lethargic. We've given her antibiotics, but that hasnt done anything. There is a sour smell...

    Help! What to do?

    I'm not a farmer, not someone who raises chickens for a living, nada. I'm a country girl in the Caribbean and there's always wild chickens that run around without any help from humans. Recently in the last several months two dogs have been killing them out in my neighborhood. I've raised a...
