    My 3 year old Embden goose has been very picky about her food for the past 2 weeks or so. She'll eat the food, but not as happily as she usually does.

    My favorite hen is wasting away

    My beloved lone survivor from a dead batch of mailed chicks last spring, Admiral Byrd, went broody in Sept-Oct. I'm a noob so I didn't break her right away and she went on for about a month. Already small, she lost half her body weight and made her chest bald. She's been fine after, but the...

    Broody hen stopped eating

    Hello! I have a Cochin that went broody 4 weeks ago, give or take. I tried my hardest to break it, but no matter what I did she stayed vigilant. I decided to let her ride it out and hope she would come out of it by herself. Since the start, she ate very well and drank regularly, with normal...

    Yesterday morning we went to check on the flock and one of the hens was “sleeping” standing up. She was very lethargic and uninterested.
