I’ve had some gasping in two of my small flock, treated with Ivermectin for the past two weeks now, the first hen is better, but now my roo has a raspy crow and gasping. Nose looks clear and no mucus. Waddle and comb are discolored today. Have Corid and Equine ivermectin. Still eating and...

I’m wildly green in most areas chicken, what does it mean when you ask if they will squat for you?

I’m wildly green in all things chicken, was hoping someone out there had some advice or direction for natural remedies for flying pests. (Buffalo gnats, flies, mosquitos) I’ve attempted to search the internet and the forums on here for information/insight on the matter with trouble. Would...

What is the dosing for Zimectrin? Another person posted that you treat them daily for 10 days with it?! That scares me due to my being new to the backyard poultry world. I do know that when we first got our hen, not only is she suspected to be pretty old, but we were told she didn’t lay anymore...

I thought he was handsome! But didn’t know what breed he was until recently. 😊 He’s such a gentleman.

Thank you for this heads up, I was leery of adding them, last night I was advised that they may not be a great addition to my already larger breed birds. So I’ve not recontacted the lady to give her an answer. Also was reading somewhere that chicks should get vaccinations?! If that’s the case...

I was given the opportunity to jump into this chicken world this winter, mid January we picked up a free 8x8 1/2 ft open sided (chicken wire and another sort of metal fencing with small squares over the chicken wire) chicken coop, along with one lone hen, who we were told no longer layed, spurs...
