Hi everyone, I have a question. My daughters chicken was found alone in the coop area today by herself. She has been in isolation away from the chickens and I have now just had the chance to check her. She is not eating or drinking, I did get to pour a little water with electrolytes down, but...

My rooster has not been acting himself for the last 3 days. He has been with our goats which is unusual and doesnt want to go back to his coop. I was gone yesterday and my daughter told me he doesnt look good. Today he won't even get up even when I pick him up (he is not tame BTW and does not...

Hi everyone, I bought some baby chicks through the mail, 4 of them are OK, but one is a little slow on her feet and chirps a lot. I am not sure if she is eating. I softened her food with some water and tried to put her beak in it, but is not eating. I see her at the feeder with the other...

Hi, I never thought i'd do it, but I ordered some chickens with a friend of mine through the mail. We received them today and unfortunately there were 3 dead ones in the box. I have 5 myself and one just doesn't seem right. She wont move that much unless startled and she wont open her eyes...

Hi there, can anyone help me? I am still new to chickens, started last year with them, and I want to thoroughly clean their coop out, can I use water and bleach to clean and kill anything in there (besides the chickens)? It's a wooden coop so I am concerned of rot or mold, but I thought if its...

Hi Y'all...Newbie with goats, well I have had them for a year now, but still a newbie with things. When I got my goats they were only a few days old and very sick. A lot of you have been helping me through the way and I more than appreciate that! But now I have another question. Should I be...

Hi there, I have had my flock for a few months now and I have never seen this before. My hen just laid a egg by my back door but with no shell. She doesn't seem to be doing a lot, but just sitting there for hours. I went out and gave her water she didnt want it at first then realized what it was...

Hello everyone, I am scared for my chicken. A few days ago my daughters found her leg was caught up in string, I freed her, but I think it did more damage than I though. She is such a sweet chicken and I dont want to see her in pain. She was trying to walk, but her wings layed low and she...

Hello yesterday I sadly found one of my chickens had string wrapped around her leg. Not sure how, but I think it was for a whole day ;( She will not walk or doesnt even care if you pick her up. Under her stomach all of her feathers are gone. I gave her a warm bath with baby shampoo and she...

Hi there, I had 8 loving chickens and purchased 3 day old chickens, they all got along great until, well unfortunately the old chickens were eaten by something (since then we updated the coop). My issue now is that I bought 8 chickens from someone and they are about 2 years old, but they do not...

I bought split peas for my chickens, but now I am wondering if I have to cook them or not. I had sprouts that I put in water for a few days and they sprouted, but do I have to do this for the peas as well? I heard a few different things, some said no it will blow up their stomachs and some said...

I am so sad, frustrated, mad, ******, we lost 5 chickens to a preditor, still not knowing what it was, we made our coop better and stronger, but something is still trying to get in ;( But today I believe I lost another one due to heat stroke, I never heard of this before, but after doing some...

Hello there, I have 2 baby goats that are about 2 months old. Not sure of the exact day they were born because I bought them from a lady (I should say goat mill). But that is a different story. When I got them they were so sick, but I felt in my heart I needed to rescue them. After lots of...

Hello, I have 2 roughly 2 month old goats, I am not sure what breed they are as the lady who sold them to me didn't offer much info on them. One was really sick and ready to die, but he is good now and growing great! I am just wondering how much I should be feeding them? They are on milk...

Hi I bought 2 goats from someone on Craigslist and boy did I get scammed. I wouldn't trade these little guys for anything, I have only had them a week, but love them like my own kids. I believe she was a "puppy mill" she had tons of animals running around in a dirty environment. I was happy...

Hello everyone, I am new to the group. I have 7 chickens for about 8 months now. They are a little over a year now. OK, my issue is that they have never had a problem not eating, but since last week they have hardly eaten any of their food. The only change was that I put a few handfuls of...
