So I've had a little speckled Cochin bantam chicken for a little more than a year now, but recently she has lost all the feathers on her head! At first I thought it might just be molting, but this problem has continued well past a month; and as the picture shows below, I can't see any new...

Hi guys, any help would be great. I've recently had a hen who was being bullied relentlessly by my other two hens so I have had to seperate her. I purchased two new hens and put her with them at night but during the day I let her out (sectioned off from the bullies) to free roam while the new...

Hi everyone I have a 2 month old chick which about 5 days ago in the morning I saw her acting weird and after like 5 hours she was bending her neck, her mouth being open all the time, not eating, sometimes fishing her toes, sometimes her wings fall too The next day came and we saw noting...

This morning, I noticed my 3-month-old chicken, Tokay, did not touch her food. She also seems a little lethargic - has been sitting down mostly and sometimes just closing her eyes while standing. She is usually very energetic and has a big appetite during feeding time. We separated her from the...

I am barely starting out my farm and about every week I have another casualty. I have lost 4 so far. They have absolutely no symptoms. I actually witnessed a death and it spanded about 3 to 4 minutes. He began to turn slightly purple while I was feeding them and I thought maybe he got a little...

My wife and I have a small flock of 7 hens that live in our backyard in Colorado. They are young and have yet to produce any eggs. One of our hens, Opalopteryx, has had bubbly eye discharge for a couple weeks now. We tried a powdered antibiotic in their water, and most recently have given her...

I was sitting inside my house when I spot a small bear outside. It was looking at my chicken curiosity. It was too close for comfort so I ran out and scared the thing away. This is not the first time it has been here. I think he is after the compost pile I have. What are the chances the bear...

So recently for the first time I had a hawk attack one of my 6 chickens. It didn't kill my bird and flew away. I put my chicken in my house to recover and didn't let the other chickens out for a week. I reintroduced the healed chicken to the flock (it went well). Should I be worried about the...

Hi there! We have a Mille-Fleur Leghorn, an Araucana and we had a Faverolle, and we're trying to figure out who's laying which egg. We got two identical eggs the first day and another different one, and we read that Leghorns sometimes lay two eggs when they're young, but today I looked where the...

Hello! We just got some chicks last week from our local feed store, but for some obscure reason they mixed the Buff Orpingtons with Freedom Rangers. We picked out a dozen of the lightest colored chicks, hoping they were Buffs, but now that they're around 2 weeks old we aren't so sure! I grew up...

I have a stray chicken that has invaded my yard. I called animal control and they seem hesitant to come out and chase a chicken. Since it is easier to work with animals than chase them.. Using homemade stuff around the house.. What do I need to do to get the chicken to settle down and roost...
