Cries sometimes as well. Has lost a slight bit of weight but not significant . Eyes seems to be swollen. He...

Our barred rock Alaska we just found limping around the coop this morning. She seemed energetic and stuff but she was slow and limp. We dont know what the problem is, so please help us if you can! Also we are pretty sure she isn't eggbound. PLEASE HELP!

Hi all and thanks in advance, I have moved one of my 15 week old girls inside the house to the "er" cage.. I noticed she just seemed not like her self yesterday and wings were droopy. Brought her in, she drank some, made her a scrambled egg with her normal dry food on the same plate and I swear...

I have provided the nutritional facts about this certain brand, I was wondering if I could use it for a duckling, and if so, how to properly dose it, as in cutting the pills or something like that. Please help, one of my ducks seems to have niacin deficiency, so I want to get that sorted before...

My rooster, Bobbo, was accidentally run over by a lawn mower today while it was backing up. It is a Club Cadet tractor mower. I looked at the many feathers he lost, and there wasn’t any blood. He has an eye infection that he is taking medicine for, and the eye has some blood in it. He can walk...

I'm hoping to find some people to help me with sex linked chickens. Would a Cream Legbar x Barred rock hen make sex linked chicks? Any idea what they would look like? I'm hoping for colorful roosters. Cream Legbar x Delaware? Cream Legbar x Silver Laced Wyandotte? Cream Legbar x Columbian...

Heyo hope everyone’s doing well. Just curious as to why my 3 pullets and also other pullets from the flock haven’t been laying at all but they’ve already reached 6-7 months old? Understandably my older hens have taken a break especially due to cold weather lately and just overall egg productive...

My Oldest chicken of a flock of 6 is suddenly sick looking. She is about 6 years old almost 7 in a few months. Yesterday I noticed she was sleeping a lot more around the yard, and not moving too much. Today she spent all day near the coop under a tree, I hadn't seen her go eat or drink all day...

Hi! I'm brand new here but have used other people's questions as resources for my quail and chickens for a while. I just can't find any answers to my particular problem, so I thought I would register and turn to you all for help. First off, I have three cotturnix quail hens in a decently large...

Hi all, i have several calls that i am not 100% on colour identification and would really appreciate some help if possible?

I need answers for this, and I needed them 3 days ago. I've contacted a few chicken people, Facebook (with a group that probably won't accept my join request, leaving me only to rely on a Silkie Group), Reddit, and called NUMEROUS vets today, with only ONE that sees chickens but is expensive...

Could any of you please help me? I have only successfully hatched 2 Lavender Araucanas a roo and a hen. I will pen them together as I hope to add more from their eggs when they mature. I thought I might also add some other breeds to make easter eggers so I am thinking of putting a couple of the...

My ducklings have been having some balance issues. I recently noticed some small lumps on their "heels". (both ducks are in this picture, these feet are not both the same duck) They are khaki campbell ducklings, a little over two weeks old. I noticed the bump when I first got them (the 25th)...

I live in the UK, England. Homesteading is really an American concept, and we sort of fell into it. Over time our life choices have slowly led us to homesteading. The last time we moved we wanted land to grow trees, we bought an ex farm. We started to build an arboretum,. The land was flat, the...
