I want to make this post to hopefully help others who are like me (first time duckling owner) who may be struggling with the same issues that my week old duckling Nugget was experiencing. I want to start by saying the advice and quick answers I have received in this group is AMAZING and I...
Hello! I'm distressed and seeking advice because my only hen (sole survivor of animal attack) seems unwell: her comb/waddle has turned pale pink and drooped, which is a drastic difference from how it stood tall and red 2 months ago (picture comparison). She's been opening her mouth more...
This is my first post (very new to chickens - these are our first!). We have 9 chickens right now - 2 of which are about 7 weeks old. One of our chicks (our Brahma - I believe she is a pullet) seems to open mouth breathe a lot. It’s 9:30 at night right now, the temp is about 81 (feels like 84)...

Okay, so, my chicken is a white leghorn (female). We've had her for about a year now, and never has she before had any medical problems. Just recently, we noticed her foot was bloody and "beat-up" so we picked her up, and washed off the blood. There wasn't much we could do, so we just kinda let...
Hello all, I posted my question as a response to an older thread a few days ago but with no reply from the OP since her bird was exhibiting similar symptoms.
In short:
8 month old Golden Comet, still active, eating, drinking- not sure about laying though since all (we have 6) lay similar...
I have three chooks, Mother and her two babies, unsure of Mothers age but babies are 4 weeks (I think babies are both females - but could be wrong). Possibly Maran or Orbington Cross/Bantam. I got them 2 weeks ago from a private free range farm, The owner wasn't expecting them and so gave them...
