    3-month old chicken is hopping on one foot and sounds phlegmy when she breathes

    hi all! exactly what it says on the tin. my baby Thunder is hopping around on one foot (seems pretty adept at that) and her bad foot is held close to her body, like a flamingo: she isn’t dragging it around behind her. Her foot is fully limp though, like if you were to make your hand limp and...

    My Silkie's are too violent to new chicken

    Hi all, We've had a few silkie chickens for a year now with one very large rooster and a rather small hen who appears to really like the rooster. She's recently become broody and just won't go out of her coop. We recently got a new young chicken of a different breed and put it in the garden to...

    Chicken cold, runny nose, swollen under eye, bubble and mucus in eye.

    I have an almost three month old pullet with a runny nose and swollen under eye. It’s only on one side of the face. She sneezes and I believe is uncomfortable breathing from the one side. Other than that her appetite and demeanor don’t seemed to have changed. Are there any medicines or treatment...

    Lethargic Juvenile Chick

    Hello! One of my chicks was moving her neck weird, and I looked it up and saw that it was usually a symptom for sour crop. There weren’t any other symptoms, but her crop looked a little swollen. Upon trying to have her throw up, I realized that the crop didn’t feel particularly hard or swollen...

    Layer feed for younger birds

    How detrimental would a layer crumble feed be for chickens that are between 0-12 weeks old? or right until before it should be consumed. I read that it can damage the chickens liver somewhere. I'm curious to know how badly layer feed would affect younger birds. will the consequences be faced...

    Very young chicken has its wing bone sticking out...

    Hey guys, the hen is about two months old, still doesn't look fully grown but has all its feathers. It was attacked by an unknown animal and it has been about two weeks since that happened and her bone is not connected to the bottom part of the wing so she can't fly. Luckily, it's freezing half...

    Comb Shrinkage

    My 33 week old Black Copper Maran stopped laying about 4 weeks ago. She was consonantly laying every 1-2 days before then since she was about 25 weeks old. I thought it was due to the sunlight and that it was normal this time of year for that to happen. Other than the no egg-laying, her health...

    Chicken not Laying?

    One of my Americana chickens has stopped laying. It’s in the early winter months now and she is about a year old. Almost all the other chickens are molting including her and at first I thought it was just that she didn’t have the energy to molt and lay simultaneously. But it’s been several...
