:highfive: hey there! Thank you! I'm getting more chickens today aand some ducklings!

Thank you!!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long! I've been diagnosed with many things while gone including autism, DID, tourette's... it's been a lot to process, I'm looking to come back soon! Also I've gotten a baby sister and she's turned one sinve Ive been here!Currently we have 18 chickens!! 10...

I've been monitoring her and it's almost like she's showing signs of being broody without going in the nest, she puffs up when I come near her or when a chicken approaches and even ran at my dog with her wings out. But she hasn't been in the nesting box at all today as far as I'm aware.

Some pictures of her outside, she's on the right in the last two photos, she follows the other birds if she sees they're pecking at something

This morning, her crop felt empty; she's still slightly puffy but is definitely more active. She's walking around the yard and pecking at the grass like nothing happened. I never fully isolated her; I just kept her in a cage within their coop to stop the others from picking on her. She did walk...

I'm so glad for that For more information their NPIP papers say they were monitored for salmonella, and are clean from pullorum-typhoid and avian influenza. We've also been keeping them away from wild birds from the recent breakout of bird flu (avian influenza) in our area

She has not laid an egg yet although some of the others in her flock haven't started laying yet either, they're aprox 5 to 5 1/2 months old

Okay! Thank you so so much

Question- are either contagious? Should I keep her isolated?

Thank you so much! Haha I do too, about 2 1/2 weeks until fair :fl

I have a black jersey giant pullet that has been acting strange. She is puffing out her feathers and only moves when I approach her. She let out a very watery, white poop earlier (it was in no way solid). When I tried to pick her up, she puked, and it was clear. I have isolated her as I can't...

An update - she ended up dying :(

Correction, not rye neck, wry neck, ans I think it may be this, how do I help her?

The bird is probably about a week or two old, I'm not sure how to explain the behavior much more then the title so I will be attaching a video. We got her from the store, the store begged us to take her to see what we could do. They said none of the other birds were acting like her, even though...
