What I Can Help With

- Content suggestions for topics you’d like me to cover
- Corrections or updates if you spot outdated information

What I Can’t Help With
- Veterinary emergencies—if your chicken is severely injured, struggling to breathe, or showing signs of serious illness, please contact a qualified poultry vet immediately. I’m not a veterinarian and cannot diagnose or treat medical emergencies. My guide on when to call the vet can help you decide if professional care is needed.
- Immediate responses—I receive many messages and cannot guarantee same-day replies
- Local supplier recommendations—I’m based in Nigeria and may not know vendors in your specific area

Quick Answers to Common Questions
Before reaching out, you might find your answer in one of these guides:
My chickens stopped laying eggs. What’s wrong? Age, diet, stress, molting, and seasonal light changes all affect production. Start with my guide on why chickens stop laying eggs to identify the most likely cause.
What should I feed baby chicks? Chicks need starter feed with 18-20% protein for their first 6-8 weeks—no treats until they’re older. My guide on when to switch from starter to grower feed covers the complete feeding timeline.
How do I protect my flock from predators? Hardware cloth, secure latches, and covered runs are essential. See my predator-proofing guide for budget-friendly solutions.
My chicken is sneezing. Should I worry? Occasional sneezes from dust are normal, but persistent respiratory symptoms need attention. Check my guide on treating chicken respiratory infections to assess whether your bird needs intervention.
Can I raise chickens in a small backyard? Yes—with proper planning. Start with my guide on how much space chickens really need and consider quieter breeds if neighbors are close.
