Two days ago I noticed one of my girls was limping. It's been wet and muddy here. I washed her feet. I see nothing wrong. She can't scratch but she still tries gingerly. She can't run to me anymore. She gets up on the roost at night but she walks up and takes two hops and she's ready for bed...

My girls are 14wks old now. I went out to the coop today and one of my barred rocks had scratched herself a nice hole and was laying in it. She never even got up. She just kept scratching dirt and wiggling in the hole. She didn't appear to be bathing. I have a kiddie pool for their dust bath...

My baby Chicks are almost 2 weeks old. They are in a brooder inside my coop. We've gotten past the pasty butt stage and they are growing, eating, drinking and pooping like there's a gold medal waiting at the end of the day. My concern is we are scheduled to have single digit temps and I'm...

I was considering getting Cochins for my little flock but it appears they don't tolerate heat very well? Anyone on here from Texas that has Cochins? Advice, suggestions? Thanks in Advance.
