Anyone ever have a chicken with bobble head syndrome? This chicken continuously drops its head like its gonna sleep then pops back up. Seems like a neuro issue.

I'm writing this to share information. We left our property to leave town for two hours. We have a chicken run with a 360 degrees 6' tall metal fence, 360 degree sub surface "L" fencing (diggers), but one access door is/was 5' tall. The run was believed to be a fortress against most predation...

Have found a 1.5 y/o Brahma hen on 26 DEC 18 (26 F / N. lower Michigan) in the hen house not moving. There are no overt indicators to why she struck this pose and stayed there. She's part of a mixed flock of ducks, geese and chickens (40). The birds are spoiled rotten. They live in a 18 x 22...

What breeds do hatcheries use to breed the Freedom Ranger? Thanks!

Bought 4 goslings (Pilgrim) from the cackle hatchery and one was a runt. They are 2.5 weeks old today. The runt jumped in the kiddie and didn’t come out. I found her drowned. I really don’t know how it happened, but I assume she got cold and tired and drowned. I was away for about 2 hours. I now...

Hello All, I just bought two supposed Pilgrim geese and have introduced them to our chicken flock. The gentlemen sold them because the gander was too loud. They were living in an enclosed 6'x'8' fenced area that had a shelter. He did not let them forage in his yard. They were given to him buy a...

Looking for a solution. A hen has a swollen sagging or droopy abdomen area. The area is from just below the vent to the end of the rear of her breast bone. In laymen terms it looks like she has granny butt, really it look like her gut is swollen and sagging below her butt. What is it and how...

I'm the bird mgr at the house, but out of the area and the wife is filling the gap. Anyhow, our 7 month old golden retriever caught a six month old Australorp hen. The hen lived and nothing is apparently broke. She just has land locked herself in the coop, but move around with ease. The wife...

I forgot, how do we change our flock list below the grey line at the bottom by the red flag. Thanks!

Well we ended with eight of ten hatching. I broke the two that didn't hatch and one was a smelly double yolk and the other was likely lacking rooster love. So we started chickens 1 September of last year (2014) and two were four months old and four were five months old. They are all Bantam...

Four peepers and six to go...real slow bunch. Crossing my toes.

Hiccup and Susie brought the first two chicks into the community clutch. Now there are six and a P. The P is taking its time coming out. Its currently just in cracked mode...I hope its not . We are anticipating 8 more...we'll see. Thanks!

We bought our chickens two weeks ago and no eggs, unless they are so small we can't see them. They are fed properly and watered. There is zero obvious stress. Four adult hens and two pullet hens (older pullets). What do we have to do to get them to lay eggs - thinking we bought the wrong...

Well...I'm tired. I have been building the future orpingtons coop all day and 80% done. Our wood fence (free) is old and needs to be replaced... Our daughter is too large for her play set (free) so it has no purpose 4ft x 4ft sq x 6ft tall... Some branches on our cherry tree need to be cut...
