Hello, just yesterday i came home to a dead chick in its cage, it’s entire neck was exposed and it’s head tucked under the cage. i went ahead and moved their cage and ensured there wasn’t space to crawl under, im not exactly sure where it’s body was as there is a few other chicks and mom and...

Hello, my rooster who is fenced in and separated from the rest of the roosters went missing for a week, winter storm, didn’t eat, no water, im assuming he was hiding from the other roosters that attack him on sight, he’s dehydrated, disoriented, dry floppy comb, has eye infection?/ injury...

Possum attack last night around 10ish, 2 chickens missing, both popped up in the morning, one with scratches but is fine, my hen- pepper looked sad and stressed but i didn’t find anything on her, i thought she was just scared and tired but we’ve been cuddling her all morning till i caught a...

Hello, on Nov. 4th i had discovered my rooster- lentil had bumblefoot, i started doing epsom salt and iodine soaks and have been trying to pick away at the scab and loosen it up and have been applying triple antibiotic ointment & prid. Today i noticed his leg was swollen, is it spreading...

Hello! although i’m always holding my roosters i’ve never thought to check their little feets since they’ve never limped or showed any signs of pain (edit: will now check all of my chickens regularly) yesterday my rooster was limping and would stay off his right leg and uses his wing to balance...

my chicken he’s usually with was also missing tail feathers, i was thinking some sort of mites? but the rest of the chickens look fine, any ideas? sorry for the bad pics he won’t sit sill :]

Hi, around 8 am yesterday my chicken was out, shouldn’t have been out since my rooster was out but miscommunication and etc lead to her not being in her fenced area, not sure if she got scared of the roosters and ran off and hid or if he attacked her but there was no feathers whatsoever, no...

This is onion, he was attacked by a cat when he was a chick and was left with a damaged leg, at first it was just his closed fist and would walk with a limp but progressively over time his leg started bending the other way and is extended far away from him and slowly is starting to be unable to...

my rooster found a hole in the fence before i did and got out while the other rooster was roaming free, obviously didn’t go well and i got to them too late so i am left with an injured fella, he’s weak and missing feathers, swollen head and neck area but he is alive, wondering what i should...

my roo got in a pretty bad fight w his brother and i had to separate them awhile back, are these healing marks or fowl pox, looks more like fowl pox to me, if so what can i do to help him through it, i know you can’t necessarily treat it but maybe help it? iodine? neosporin? anything like that...

This morning has been eventful, my hen hatched 5 chicks in the end she was left with two and i was taking care of one of hers that had an injured leg, this morning on of her babies managed to escape their cage and got killed by a cat, leaving her with 1, she was kicking and flying around trying...

hello! i have 2 baby chicks who i think are boys but are too young to be sure so just wondering how early could i tell :) this baby here is adopted from another persons hen so dunno what his/her mom looks like but it’s just a gut feeling i believe the brown is a boy because of the way his head...

I was given pepper to raise since his mother would peck at it and would neglect it and no other chickens wanted him, he’s been with me for 2 days and he hasn’t eaten much and would rather spend all day cuddling asleep, could it be that pepper is lonely? none of my local animal supply shops have...

They’re barely visible but i was thinking maybe fowl pox? one of my roosters got it but he passed away and the others showed no signs of it months later. one of her spikes is also blackish but it’s probably from being pecked, her skin also got darker i don’t know what that’s about, and drier too...

this whole time i thought the other brown one was a girl until she sang this morning... i think i’m not sure but it definitely wasn’t the black one singing because his voice is different so i’m wondering now what this one is :)
