My girl, probably 2 yo, started staying in the egg box. I thought she was brooding but when I took her out, she plopped and her tail was hanging down almost like her underside was too heavy and stayed in same position for some time. I took her in and set her in warm water. Nothing felt hard to...

I just noticed 2 if my hens had lighter areas and i want to make sure it's not something worrisome. Also, the second one got some white tips recently on her feathers, I'm thinking molting?

I got my hens from a local store in March, some were one week apart and I got them in the span of 3 weeks. My golden buff orpington was the friendliest one and the most bold.

How do I prevent water from growing algae? We have a water cooler as we cannot hook up fresh water. We live in a warm climate and the cooler turns yellow very quickly. I read some posts where it said to add apple cider vinegar so I added a few splashes which seems to help but doesn't get rid of...

My 3-4 yo RIR got really sick. Very lethargic, dropped wing. Did not eat, drink or move, just laid with eyes closed tail up and moving it up and down. I thought she would be dead next day. I did all I had. I gave her a warm bath in case eggbound, gave her eprinex 0.5ml and tylan 0.1ml. the next...

My chicken was fine 2 days ago, today she has been mainly sitting. She can walk but does it slower than usual. I picked her up and her touched her behind, its warm and soft but almost looks swollen. Few feathers also seemed to be missing. I really don't know anything about how to help her. I...

One of our hens mysteriously went missing. We saw no signs of distress, were absolutely stunned. Fast forward 5 days later, we went to refill the feeder and found her inside alive. I have no idea how she managed to get in there. She is pale, wabbles from being in ackward position. She drank a...

I have 1-2 chicken with coryza right now. I search all over the place and could not find any Tylan. FOund one but it's Tylan 200. Can someone please tell me the dosing and if it's injectable or if I can give it orally. I only have oral syringes right now, so hoping I can go that route.

I have had a somewhat lethargic chicken for 5 weeks now with one eye swollen and shot. She would open it some days and some days kept it shot. Today I noticed another chicken has her eye closed and is appearing more lethargic but she was perfectly fine yesterday. I don't know what to do about...

I have 6 chickens, all different breeds. They all layed eggs really consistently until probably May. Since then I get 1-2 eggs per day. One of which comes from my youngest one, one gets rotated and I know my americauna has not laid in months. They all seem perfectly healthy, pooping, eating...

Hi, I need your advice. Our lawn care company came in today while we were at work and fertilized the lawn and applied something for weed and insect control. My chickens are cages and have a run but these granules came all the way to the fence and possibly went through it. I don't know if...

I got an amaracouna about 4 weeks ago at a local farm. I was told she was about 6-7 months. When I got her she layed an egg the next day but nothing since then. She seems to have made herself at home and is getting along with the other 3 chickens. They are all laying eggs. We live in FL so it's...
