    Why aren’t my chickens laying?

    My flocks stoped laying and I’m not sure why. We feed them daily with oyster shells in their feed. They always have water. There’s nothing getting in and hurting them and the rooster we have with them doesn’t hurt them enough for it to stop egg production. They used to lay constantly now we...

    What do you do with a chick that has water belly?

    I have a broiler chick that appears to have water belly. Everywhere I’ve looked says it isn’t curable but you can drain it to make them comfortable but what happens after that? Does it just continually come back? Should we just cull her? What would be the most humane option? We are not against...

    Is this sour crop?

    My family recently got about 36 meat chicks. We’ve kept them in a big water trouph as a brooder with wood chips and water. Today we discovered a growth on one of the chicks and looking around at the rest we found it on a lot of the other ones as well. I did some research and it sounds like they...

    What should I do with my goose?

    A friend of mine found a baby Canadian goose on the side of the road and took it in. She didn’t have chickens or a place for it and she knew I had recently gotten a few baby geese so she asked if I could take it in. I did and she started to get attached to me. We would carry her around in a...

    I have a chick that’s underdeveloped.

    I have an underdeveloped chick that hatched that has half of its organs not in its body yet it’s still alive. What should I do? At first I thought it was something different but I’m not sure what to do now after taking it out of the incubator.

    Should I help this chick??

    I have a chick that hatched today but won’t sit upright. He lays on his back and just constantly struggles to get up off of it. We’ve helped him out twice, Once cause it looked like his foot was stuck under another egg and the second time because his wing looked stuck under one of the egg...

    What should I put at the bottom of my runn?

    We have been moving our chickens to different parts of our property to fertilize the ground but it’s gotten to the point where all the ground it fertilized and we aren’t planting anything on it at the moment anyway so we’ve decided on making a permanent runn. The only thing is we don’t know much...

    Should I put my dog down?

    I know this is app is mainly for chicken and flock information but I don’t know where else to ask this question. My 13year old Maltese Sammy is old and his muscles that used to allow him to hold in his bladder don’t work at all. This means he needs to wear diapers while inside the house. The...

    Baby goose piped and hasn’t done anything sense.

    My geese started laying so I decided to incubate some of the eggs. I’ve never incubated geese before but I thought it wouldn’t be too different to hatching chickens which I have done several times before. I’ve kept to heat up and the humidity where it should be and Tuesday night one piped. I...
