I have a hen I rescued. She was the sole survivor after being locked in a coop when the owners moved and left them behind. She was almost dead when she got to me. I didn’t think she would make it. I did tube refeeding, and she perked up, and started getting stronger. Poor thing is skin and...
Had someone accidentally take the eggs from the hatching mom. They were on the table in the house for around 8 hours. The house was around 70. They are on day 19. Did my babies freeze to death? How can I know if they are alive?
The rescue will be happening soon, and there will be thousands of Cornish crosses rescued from a horrible death. They need homes where they can be cared for properly (not for meat only for pets) so if you want to help either by donating to this amazing organization, or by adopting any of these...
My 20 week old pullet (thought it was a rooster till yesterday when it laid its first egg) was limping yesterday, it was only slight, I couldn’t really find anything wrong when I noticed it at roost time. I roosted them in a cage to avoid jumping and allow for more comfortable space to lay...
Anyone know the standard dosage in tsp for a hen? I’ve seen different things on here but can’t find a concrete answer. And I have no access to a scale nor am I good at basic math even lol.

My hen last night was fine one min, literally just prior I had seen her and she was absolutely fine. Then she came up to me for a treat with both eyes foaming. I swooped her up isolated her in a cool dark place (it’s very hot very suddenly here) and put some doxycycline in her water. By then...
My 10 year old (almost 11) partridge Plymouth Rock hen was fine just hours ago. I came out to throw some cold melon, and she had foamy eyes. It’s been cool and rainy up until just a few days ago when the temp shot up and now it’s 93/95 degrees out. I isolated her instantly. Sanitized the...

I posted about my roo around a week ago. One min fine, the next was wheezy honk breathing. It seems to be coming from the throat, no rattling in the lungs. And ZERO other symptoms. Can’t see any gapeworms , eyes clear and bright, no runny nose, poop normal, energy normal, appetite normal...
So my roo I posted about, a few days back who started wheeze/honk breathing out of nowhere, is still doing so. He is about 4 days into a course of doxycycline. And it seems to not be helping yet. There is still ZERO other symptoms. Just his wheeze/honk and raspy crow. Is it possible this is...
Noticed just now, a little too breathing loud with a poppy honky wheeze. No nasal or oral discharge. Eating and drinking. Eyes clear comb red. Terrified it’s the HPAI. Have him isolated and don’t know what to do.
This is the last egg to hatch. It is day 23 and I came out at 8am to her pipped. It’s now 5pm and the hole is not any bigger and she is chirping very loudly. The pip is at the small end of the egg. This is a hen hatch, and mamma has taken the other babies off the nest for now to eat and...
Had one of my golden laced Cochin bantam chicks hatch this am but it has clean legs. The only chickens in the enclosure are the pair of bantams and two sapphire gem hens. Is this something that happens sometimes?
I lost a baby Cochin bantam, 8 weeks to a trough. This trough was outside of their yard, and they had tons of water. I didn’t think they could get to it. But as we know baby chickens can find holes and sneak out. I’m utterly devastated. Is there anything made by trough companies for this...
My neighbor has a pond that he fills with fish to fish for. This pond is attracting geese to my property, as the pond is literally right on the other side of my fence. and I’m terrified they are going to make my flock sick. Does anyone have any ideas how I can discourage them from landing on...
