here is the real truth and the actual facts about raising a flock
Many new people that are starting their first flock will spend a fortune at the veterinarians if their chicken shows signs of illness. And it does not escape the vet's office that you will pay $$$ to save your pet!
Newsflash! In some cases, your chickens may have a genetic condition (read this!) but most veterinarians will not tell you this fact, and sell you expensive medications, and immunizations! (Which will NOT solve the problem!)
(Note I am NOT a licensed vet!) But I will be able to tell you what is the most likely cause for your chicken's behavior and the possible problems. Many times - making a few changes in your coop or how you care for chickens can solve many problems.
FACT- Nearly all vets practice in small animals cats and dogs and have little or no "eggsperience with chickens"
1) READ OUR GUARANTEE PAGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT CHICKENS ARE FLOCK AGRICULTURAL BIRDS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UTILITY BIRDS AND THAT ARE REPLACEABLE - Some chickens can live for years as long as ten years, but understand that they are not lifetime pets.
70% to 90% of ALL chickens are carriers of Mycoplasma MG and can exhibit signs if they become stressed or sudden changes to their environment.

Shopping for chickens and looking is free, But customer support for poultry care & coop information is a fee-based service.
We have an annual ZOOM customer support package or a one-time ZOOM phone call. Blue Star Ranch support is a fee-based service (and includes images and video as well as email and phone calls)
When you schedule ZOOM calls we can take a look at the behavior in your hens and review any questions or concerns in your coop and flock.
Your purchase of poultry does NOT include FREE lifetime care! See our SPECIALS page with free support when purchasing poultry!
here is the real truth and the actual facts about raising a flock
So to sum this up: You can see that raising chickens, all chickens when raised outdoors naturally are subject to Mother Nature & the perils of weather.
It's just that simple and it's a fact!
People that are new to poultry try to "fix" everything and it's understandable. What's my best advice: Do the best you can, keep your chickens well-fed and safe in a proper coop.
So what do "eggperienced" poultry people do? They understand these facts and simply take care of small problems and injuries but replace chickens that become attacked by predators or severe illnesses.
You can be sure that your Grandparents did not spend $300 to cure a sick Chicken! They simply hatched more to replace the ones that are damaged or become ill.
People have changed in the last 60 years, but chickens are the same agricultural birds
So there you have my 2 cents! from someone that has raised many many thousands of chickens over the years.
