    So this chick hatched this afternoon (I had to assist), and was born with very stiff toes. Now I'm seeing this strange and disconcerting behavior of rolling, distress calling, and scratching at the face. It comes in waves but has been continuing for quite some time. He'll often end up on his...

    Rooster's Life on the Line: From Fine to Fatal

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red rooster has suddenly fallen incredibly ill. Just four days ago I noticed he was laying beside the coop, a behavior I believed was okay seeing as he would still get up and move, it just seemed as if he was slightly lethargic. Overtime his conditioned worsened, even...
