    My little horror story

    Went to put my 4 chickens up for the night, they had pretty much put themselves to bed already, so I raked half the coop and put in their night water, a small metallic bowl that I have put in there every night since they started in that coop. Since they're basically on top of where I would...

    Drowned Rooster

    I’m hoping someone can help me out? There was a bad storm last night that took my rooster into the pool. My mom found him early morning and thought to fish out his body. Once she realized he was still alive, she blowed him dry while shaking him to breathe. His beak was more white than this ^...

    Worried about possible drowning

    Hello, I have three drakes (Hops, Bean and Luck) and I am very worried that Bean is going to drown Luck. I know that they mount as a dominance thing (or perhaps just very...sexually charged) but during mounting he has started to push Luck's head under the water. I'm really worried that Bean...

    Wry neck and risk for drowning

    My 2 week old Silkie chick has wry neck and I’ve separated her from the main brooder. I put in a water feeder along with her food, but her lack of balance due to wry neck has led her to fall into the water tray. She cant always get herself out so I decided the risk for drowning was too high...

    Favorite Hen Drowned to Death in Pond

    I didn’t quite know where to put this, as it’s more about the death of my sweet hen, Daphne. My chickens tend to drink out of a small pond we have in the front yard. We discourage this heavily and try our best to keep them out of that yard. It was unsuccessful this morning. She had been...
