One of our light brahma chicks got attacked today by a neighbor's dog. There is proof of the dog, as I saw him in my neighbors yard earlier and there are paw prints under a tree, that look like he was running. The hens name is Rose, and she is around 14 weeks old. She is the biggest out of our...

Hi, i’m a first time hatcher. I’ve recently started incubating duck eggs and only one hatched in day 28. I have 5 eggs in all. Another one looks like the hard shell chipped off already but the thin part wasn’t broken through. Should I help it?

I have some ducks hatching soon and I would like to know if I can use tap and hose water for my ducks. While they’re small I would like to let them swim in the bath tub/sink. When they get older the plan is to get them a kiddie pool and fill it up with water. This is my first time hatching...

Hello everyone! 👋🏼 I have a Savart Honas hen and she has laid a few eggs, however, I am not sure if she is still laying eggs. I have not seen her laying in the nesting boxes and I have not gotten any eggs that would be the kind her breed lays. I know that she is laying age not to old not to...

I haven’t seen any sicknesses or heard any wheezing. None of my other birds seem to have symptoms so far. There were fires in the area and lots of smoke over the last few days. Does this look like a respiratory infection or maybe a pecked eyeball? It’s swollen with little bubbles

Can anyone give me any insight on candling? I have researched it and I feel like only the middle egg is where it is meant to be but I don't want to make a mistake. These are taken on day 14/15 all eggs were placed at the same time. The first egg is a blue shell and its harder to see into, the...

My female chick has trouble pooping.... So what she does is slightly lifts her wings up and pushes. It does come out but when she poops she squacks really loud. And sometimes it takes 1min for her to fully get it out. Her poop looks completely normal I think. And I'm not sure if it's pasty but...

Hi guys, about 5 days ago my neighbors dog got into our chicken coop and attacked the rooster and some hens. Fortunately all of our hens look okay and healing well. Unfortunately, our rooster seems to be doing worse. There are no open wounds, just a lot of missing feathers and scratched skin on...

Hello, my RIR hen is a very sweet hen who we have as a pet. She was hand fed as a chick because she couldnt eat on her own, so she is very kind and lets us hold and pet her all the time. But recently, every now and then, she gets super agressive and attacks us like a rooster would. This morning...

I have searched high and low for started pullets that can come at the times that I need (every link on 10 pages of google) but have come up empty handed. I would LOVE to raise chicks, but am concerned about getting them because of my cat. He has a reputation for giving lovely gifts of dead (or...

Hello everyone! I have a problem with one of my two year old hens. To be specific she is a Rhode Island Red. During the Winter and Spring she has been progressively losing feathers on her head. She is a very healthy hen other than the loss of feathers on her head. She is actually my best layer...
