weird behavior.

We rescued an 7yr old rooster during lockdown, and for the first couple of months none of his behaviors were abnormal, until about a week ago when he stands on the back porch watching us. We have a full wall window door, that shows the entire kitchen, and he just stands there and watches us. He...

Okay, so I have 2 Peking Ducks, Dazed & Confused. I have no idea what sex they are. My Rooster Ronnie, keeps trying to mate with Confused and Dazed keeps bullying Pearl, my other rooster. We gave Pearl his name before we realized he wasn't a hen. We have 2 hens. It stops there with them. All...

Hi BackYard Chicken Members, I am in need of help in identifying what is wrong with my 1-year-old black Silkie. I have noticed for the past month her behaviour has changed, first she stopped laying eggs so I thought she went broody, then she started to moult so I associated her behaviour with...

Hi everyone, I am probably over thinking this but I have noticed one of my hens has changed in her behaviour. She is a white Silkie, I am unsure of her age as I got her as an adult. I have had her for almost a year now (this is my first time being a chicken owner), she is definitely one of my...

this afternoon I’ve noticed my hen sitting in the run with her eyes closed no matter what treat I put out she showed no interest but I saw her eat her regular food. She also doesn’t open her eyes fully but she also doesn’t want to go into the coop and sleep? Is this a sickness or is this just a...

I just got 2 new chicks, less than a week old. One is a BR who is basically always asleep. The other is a RIR and the one I'm having trouble with. She screams until I pick her up and coddle her, she will try and fly out of the brooder to me, or crawl into my hand and up my arm. She is active...

I have about 45 chickens all together with around 8 roosters all different ages free ranging around my yard. I have one rooster in particular who is about 10 months old, he is kind of at the bottom of the roosters but still hangs around with the babies and hens. Recently he has been...

My friend's hen just started acting weird. Sitting and falling asleep almost like narcolepsy, but waking up to eat and drink again. It's like she's looking around with her eyes closed. 1. No respiratory problems 2. No sneezing 3. Green poop 4. Doesnt respond when talked to 5. Only opens eyes...

Hi! My chickens are doing weird things, and I can't find any answers on the web. Hopefully one of you has some insight! My fiancé and I have a BCM hen, about a year old, who was broody on Monday. We moved from northern CA to Washington state on Tuesday, and I assumed that would break her...

About a week and a half ago I had 8 mix breed chicks hatch in an incubator. They’re feathering really quickly and are already trying to jump out of the brooder. They have a quart feeder from TSC that I used on my first batch of six chicks a year ago. But I have to fill it up almost daily. Or so...

Anyone know?
