I'm curious to hear from anyone who has actually used this dewormer. What was your experience? Did it work for you?

I know they are difficult to sex when young, but can anyone give me their best guess? We got this baby from Bradshaw Feed. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'll try that! :)

They get organic Modesto milling layer crumbles, meal worms, and scratch with sunflower seeds, flax, peas, etc., and our kitchen scraps. Maybe I'll get some feather fixer feed.

Correct.

Thanks for your reply! I'm familiar with molting. They have already been through one molt and starting another one now, but her feathers have been this way for much, much longer than any of the others. I kept expecting them to grow back but they haven't. I'm wondering if she is picking her own...

I have a sweet hen who lost feathers probably a year ago and they still have yet to grow back. Can anyone tell me what they think this is from and what can I do to encourage growth. Winter is coming and I don't want her to suffer. She's missing feathers on top of one of her wings and then...

Yes, probably about 2 weeks. I've tried a few different times, but she definitely knows which one is hers and she attacks the other baby. Looks like I'll be brooding her inside!

That is AWESOME! <3

Hi Ali74! I do not know the answer to your question, but I just posted something similar and curious what the experts will say! I would imagine if she already accepted them, they should be okay? Interested to see what others think... And best of luck to you!

Hello fellow chicken lovers! I have a small flock of two hens. (Had four, but two passed away over the last couple of years, and four is the max allowed where I live.) My Lavender Orpington was broody and I got two baby chicks a couple of weeks ago and placed them under her at night. She was...

So far, so good! I put two little chicks under her last night around 10:30pm. She immediately began cluck-purring and seemed happy to have them. This morning they were peeping out from under her. She hasn’t brought them out of the nest though, and I’m worried that they need to drink some water...

Thank you! She was a good mama the last time around and I’m hoping this time will be the same. I only have the one lavender Orpington and it seems she is broody every time I turn around!

Thank you! I appreciate your reply! She’s been broody for over a month now, so I’m hoping she will be more than ready for some babies! I will keep you all posted! :)

Thank you so much! This is very helpful and I appreciate your advice!
