    My hen didn’t lay today and seemed off. I felt her crop and it is full of GLASS

    Idk if massaging the crop filled with glass would be a good idea? It may cause more damage. Poor thing, im so sorry.

    Rocco needs a new home

    Roosters are not just for breeding. Their #1 job is to protect the girls. So this "harassment," isnt for nothing. I have several roosters on acreage that do an amazing job keeping my girls safe.

    Rocco needs a new home

    It can be a permanent fix if he isnt bred. If there is total honesty in the re-homing- they know exactly what theyre getting- I don't think a previous owner would be liable for anything. Worth a shot anyway. I have land and several coops with chickens who are able to free range. The right setup...

    Rocco needs a new home

    Just wanna say you have an amazingly big heart✨️🥹 I hope Rocco finds a home or learns how to behave. There are groups dedicated to helping aggressive roosters/bonding with your roo. On instagram theres a page called Quakersandfernie. She is a rooster whisperer.

    Will it stress my hen out if I take 2 of her 6 chicks? They are 2 days old.

    She hasn't left the nest yet. Last one hatched yesterday. We wanted to bring 2-3 inside to be friendlier. But I really don't want to stress her out. There are 6 total. She.is a good mom, this her 3rd time hatching babies.

    My baby chick is lethargic and having periods where its gasping for air.

    Ok I was wondering if his crossbeak had something to do with it. Thank you! I do have a perch in their setup, but I think it may be too high for him, as he is the only one not on it. Prob his crossbeak throwing him off balance? Ill get him a low perch stat. Thank you so much!

    My baby chick is lethargic and having periods where its gasping for air.

    I have a 4 week old baby chick who has a pretty bad crossbeak. He always seemed to be more chill than the other chicks. Today he seems really lethargic and to himself. He has periods where he is gasping for air when he laying down. When he is up, he is not. I have his food and water up high to...

    Big Bertha hasn't laid yet. She has perked up considerably. She's drinking and nibbling and her comb isn't blue-ish anymore. Still treating her nonetheless. She is still lethargic and def not normal.

    Welp it finally happened in my flock- egg bound or egg yolk peritonitis😭

    She seems to enjoy the baths, she relaxes and even snoozes a little and seems to have energy after. The energy does fade, however. She seems to be pushing. Fluffing up briefly and pushing. I gave her 3 calcium pills today because I read it online somewhere 🤦‍♀️. I should've asked here first as...
