Hello, I have a 3 year old lavender Orpington walking weird. Just noticed it today. She pulls one foot up to her chest then arches her neck and extends her foot and places it down. When I pick her up she sqwauks at me. She is also puffed up so I’m treating her for coccidosis. I’ve just...

Heh guys, I got two Lavender Orpington chicks that were straight run. Just wondering if you think this guy/girl is a roo. They are four weeks. The other one's comb is a lot smaller and is not pink but yellow/black. I have been wanting to have a roo. So I'll be fine either way.

Hello, I just received 5 new chicks. Two of them are Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. These two had a rough start and were the only survivors of their shipment. I believe they have failure to thrive. I've had them 24 hours and they starting to perk up but are still very sleepy. I have been...

My sister-in-law has decided she doesn't want her chickens anymore. So i told her that I would take a couple (4 Hens). I already have 12 chickens and I have room for the new ones. Do I need to quarantine them? I have a separate coop for raising babies that has its own enclosed run. I would...

My Wellsummer has bee a great layer. She is a year old now. But recently she started dropping these really small eggs. She layed the one pictured on Thursday or Friday and hasn’t laid since. Her comb is red and she is eating fine. Any body seen this before?

Hello, I’m baffled by my barred rock. She has been having runny poi for about three weeks. I gave her some yogurt and she started pooping normal for about three days. The runny poop started again. Yesterday, i found her in the nesting box in the morning. She normally roosts at the highest...

so today i went out to visit my flock. I noticed that my barred rock was not folding her right wing against her body. It was not like this yesterday. Could it be broken? I don’t know how she hasn’t left my run. I checked it and she let me touch the wing but whimpered the closer i got to her...

So first off, I know that my dog is the problem. But she is 13 and a cocker spaniel. So I came home today to find one of my chickens out of the coop. My Cocker was pulling feathers from her neck and had probably been doing it for a while because of the amount of feathers. I immediately got...

So today I went out to bring my chickens a Christmas treat and my buff orppington was sitting in a nest. She acted like she was sleeping. She is only 8 months so I thought it was weird. I recently got a new coop and she struggles getting through the vinyl flaps I put up to protect from drafts...

I am new to the whole Fowl Pox. I have four one-year-old hens, three five-month old hens and four two month old chicks. They have all acquired the dreaded fowl pox. The hens are in varying stages of the disease but I'm concerned about one in particular. She has yellow flat scabs about 1/2 cm...
