She is nearly 4 years old now

Thank you so much for your reply. Do you know which human calcium is suitable? 🐥

Hi everyone, all help appreciated. My chook lotto has been laying for a week now eggs with no or almost no shell. I've started vitamins and extra oystershell. Today she is really not herself and when I examined her she has a prolapse. I have returned what was outside back inside and...

Again, thank you. I have had a small amount of success since yesterday. I built Shug and navid their own sleeping quarters. I usually leave the door open to the roosts overnight to allow them to get up when they like into a secure pen. I've shut Winston and lotto in and let the other two come...

Winston has always been a little on the special side lmao! Perhaps you could say unique! Or just plain terrifying!

Thank you also for your help. Everyone on here is so helpful. I do find searching for things on the site a nightmare though! Sorry, the 6/52 is medical chat. In general these numbers equate to for example, 2/7 is two days 5/12 for 5 months 6/52 being 6 weeks. As they say, you learn something...

Thank you so much for your advice. Winston was broody 2 weeks ago and in her separate coop for almost 5 days. When I brought her out she was worse! Should I put her in a run by herself where the others free range or put her back in isolation?

Hi all, do you happen to know the outcome of the other chickens shown in this thread? Thanks, vicky

Thank you, I've only just discovered your reply. I ended up with a horrific mite infestation Do you know if vircon s kills mites?

Hi all, my beautiful 3.5 year old silkie hen (Victor) is showing signs of breathing troubles. She coughed/sneezed a few times about 4 days ago. yesterday I noticed that she seems to have a bit of stridor. When she breathes out her neck gets fuller. I've had a fairly bad mite problem in last week...

Thanks rosemarythyme

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew the chances of my broody hen taking to a two week old chick? Is is realistically possible? Thanks, vicky

Good evening everyone, I've just received a delivery of woodchip for my 4 feathered friends to dig in. It has a lots of creepy crawlys in it. I was considering spraying over it with virkon s whilst the chooks are sleeping Does anyone know if this is safe? Many thanks as always, Vicky
