Chicks arrived yesterday from Meyer Hatchery. Everything going well. My buff brahma is lively and full of spunk. This morning I noticed her eyes looked a little squinty but thought that maybe she was just tired. I went to check on her around 2:30pm and she is still spunky, but her eyes are...

My 4 hens (2 Easter Eggs, 1 Golden Comet, 1 Black Australorp) all laid eggs their first summer into winter. They slowed down in the winter, as expected (I'm in NJ, USA).

Hi all, New chicken mama here. I’ve been doing lots of reading here but felt like I wanted to ask for my own reassurance. We got our chicks almost 2 weeks ago (Friday will be 2 weeks). Last night, we noticed two of the four had runny poop and one (Tuck) was pooping a lot. One time she pooped...
