    Eggs Going Missing

    My silkie started laying on four of her own eggs a few weeks back and I was taking out all the other eggs that we didn’t want hatched. One day, I go to collect the unwanted eggs and there’s only three silkie eggs. Very strange. Another week passes and I open the coop and two eggs had hatched...

    My chicken is acting weird

    She passed away yesterday evening, sadly. Thank you guys for your help! I wish I knew what was wrong. I do have a rooster but he’s usually not that bad and she always stands up to him. I’m scared it was Marek’s because her legs stopped working and she was soooo out of it. I took all the shavings...

    My chicken is acting weird

    I can’t figure out how to upload the picture. Her eyes aren’t gray, but her pupils are kind of big. She can’t stand up today. I’m just going to keep her comfortable until she passes. Poor girl!

I give them a mix of layer crumble, layer pellets, and scratch feed. For treats, I give them meal worms, veggies...

    My chicken is acting weird

    So yesterday, I noticed my chicken acting weird. She seemed disoriented and when I tried to give her some bread, she was pecking at it but her beak never actually touched it. Today, she was stumbling on the stairs of their coop. I got her down and she walked but she would stop and look confused...
