    Healthy young chicken's sudden death without explanation, please help

    Hello, yesterday morning I had checked on my flock of 5 chickens and all appeared well and healthy. It was then later that night when I put them to bed I noticed one was showing signs of clear illness. I have lost many chickens for the short amount of time I have kept them (4 years), most for...

    Need Help! What do I do about my aggressive drakes?

    For the past 3 months, my drakes have been super aggressive towards my females. Constantly trying to mate. I know that’s normal but it’s gotten worse and worse. I have more males than females, but at first it was fine. There was no overbreeding, no injured necks. Everything was fine. They have...

    Desperate please help!

    My dogs attacked my poor chicken Henrietta. I know this only happened because she is so friendly/trusting and doesn't run as fast as the other chickens. This is the sweetest chicken there is. She follows me around and stands on my shoulder and arms all the time. I really like her. It's the...

    Sick Duck?

    So I have been having troubles with my duck Lukas, he recently got Bumblefoot a few days ago and I'm starting to get worried he's getting worse. He hasn't been eating very well these few days, he will just nibble but never swallow even if it's soft foods. He has very runny and very water green...

    Before He Worsens

    Life is always the opposite of what we expect it to be. Nothing can be planned. Just when you intend to move forward, the walkway crumbles and you fall backward. Back in April, a chick had hatched beneath one of our hens. In June, another hatched from a different hen. Sure enough... we...

    Therapy Birb has Swollen Closed Eye

    My dad told me this morning that the dogs had gotten one of Cin's chickens, but he managed to save it just in time. I went looking for it to make sure it was okay (and it seems fine, just smells like dog). But then I happened upon my friend here who has a swollen closed eye and some crusty...

    Questions about a late hatch (Opened a dead egg to find it isn't)

    This egg is supposed to be around 26 days but it may be 24-25. I opened the top and put water on it to peer through the membrane presuming it was expired since it had been forever since it moved. Turns out the chick is alive and responding now but they have not made a single cheep inside their...

    Hello Everyone. I unfortunately am no stranger to sudden chicken death and chicken death in general as we have had several rough goes in the last year. However, we had since made adjustments and everyone has been super healthy and thriving until about a few weeks ago. We've lost 3 Roos almost...

    Can Anyone Help Me Determine Cause of Passing...?

    So, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. And this is the third hen to fall ill, the second to pass away. But I don't quite know, again, what has happened. One of my Sumatra, we found, was acting very odd. We're not sure how long she has, but it couldn't have been for more than a...

    Need help ASAP

    I have four farm ducks all together, got it from the local TSC. All the ducks were doing great. Then I noticed one duck was smaller than the rest and not growing as fast. I thought it was because he was a runt or something. Then a day later, he began to not eat and continued to sit around while...

    *Extremely Urgent* 4 Flocks, 1 Bird, 1 Possible Match

    About a week ago we discovered an old hen outside one of our bedroom window. We recently named her Marilyn because she's about the same color as Marilyn Monroe, and people have said she's as crazy as Marilyn Manson. We figure she spent about a week quarantined on our property, and another week...
