It seems as though I have just have one problem after another with these guys. This evening I noticed one of my 7 month old pullets was standing around while everyone else was free ranging.

When I checked on my chickens this evening I noticed that my 6 month old hen Chanel had her right eye closed and that side of her face looked puffy. I checked her eye on the other side and that one seemed fine and looked normal. She did not have this when I last checked on them which was around...

When I picked her up I noticed that her nail was broken and raised. I washed it with warm water and was wondering if there is anything else that I should do to...

My 6 month old RIR rooster Pedro has been standing on one leg and walking with a limp for the past 4 days but it has gotten steadily worse. It has gotten to the point where he will just stand in the corner not wanting to put any weight on the leg so he hasn't been eating/drinking as much as...
