I think my flock may have worms, there are a few very skinny hens. I haven't been able to spend much time with them because of pregnancy complications and all my DH knows to do is feed them. The coop is in desperate need to be cleaned out and they have lice, I could tell for sure on that. : (...

I have had chickens for 3 years and in this three years have *hoped* longingly that our neighbors would just move! First it was their big dog they just could not keep in their yard....which led to a threat of shooting the dog if this continued. FINALLY they have seemed to manage the big one and...

I have a 3 year old BO who will only lay dawn and won't eat or drink. I thought at first she was egg bound. But now after more research I think she has ascites and is also no eggbound. I had no idea what what causing the problem with her swollen abdomen until now. I finally found a tread that...

I have a hen going on 3 years old (buff orp) just lays there and won't get up not interested in eating or drinking. My DH has been taking care of the chickens since I am pregnant and have terrible morning sickness I can't handle the smells outside. I am not sure how long she has been like this...

Hello all! thanks in advance for any help! I have a mixed breed/age flock of 20 chickens, they haven't laid in about 4 weeks. They have been wormed (pumpkin seeds) the older ones seem to STILL be going through a molt, I have treated each bird with Adams just to make sure it wasn't mites or...

I finally decided I have to reduce my flock, for now anyway until either feed prices go down or we make more money not either will happen! I was wondering if any of you out there have tips and tricks to avoid these high prices?? Do you make your own? I have been trying to free range more...

I have a nankin rooster who is about 2 years old. I noticed his crow sounded funny so I brought him in for closer examination. I rubbed his throat with a q-tip and it came out clean. Not sure what else to to I swabbed his throat and nose with vet-rx and kept him indoors over night with a couple...

I finally decided that if my silkies where so determined to have babies they can just set and raise their own without me taking them, I wanted to try for a specific color that hatched before but didn't make it anyway. So I left them to their whims and had 4 broodies going at the same time! So...
