One of my chickens had gotten sour crop and we fed her yogurt with a very limited amount of food, and it seemed to do the trick! There is also a medication called Vet RX that can help with many different types of illnesses, and solved our chickens' respiratory problems. I highly recommend it...

Thanks for the help! She layed another one today but with less blood... I hope it doesn't become a regular thing! Thanks

Hello, One of my 9 month old buff orpingtons layed and egg the other day and it had blood in it! The shell was normal, no cracks or blood, but the inside was pretty bloody... another egg we had a week ago had a small bloodyish chunk in it too. It kinda looked like an artery or something but I...

Thanks for that link! I bookmarked it. Very helpful

Still can't stop looking at those pictures! They are amazing!

Thank you all for the help! So i guess mixed breeds would be better for me? And has anyone had a golden comet before? Or a plymouth rock? And also I can't seem to figure this out: easter eggers are not ameraucanas? They are just mixed? Thanks for the help!!

Okay thats a good point. I'm still looking around where I live but I know there must be an egg seller within a 2 gold drive, so Ill be ready to go when a chicken goes broody. Thanks

My head of the pecking order is my smallest BO. she matured very quickly though, with a bright red comb and small eggs starting when she was 20 weeks old! And I think seperating them as said may be a good idea. I don't mean to scare you, but sometimes if they are really bullied, the stress...

I say girl too. By now, the crown would have been a bit more red if it were a boy. One of my BOs had a very red crown starting from about 5 weeks. I Did not find out what the gender was until it layed an egg at 5 months! And yours has a very light pink crown so its most likely a girl.

Hello, I currently have 3 BOs, 2 Jersey Giants, and 1 Copper Maran, and I'm thinking of maybe getting some fertilized eggs for when one of them goes broody. 2 of my BOs and my JGs will turn one in April, and I'm guessing one of them might go broody in the spring. However, I'm struggling to...

Hello, I have a 4 month BO that I got about 1 month ago. We noticed that she sneezed, she passed it on to 3 other chickens, we cured them, but to this day, the first one still sneezes. She no longer has a runny nose, but we have kept her isolated. She now breathes proparly too, eats, and...

Hi, I have read that birds with respitory desease can be carriers for life. My question is do they transmit itto other birds even when they are treated and have no signs? Also, is there diseases contagious even when it has been treated and is is in remission? I have always been under...

Hello, Some of my brids have been sneezing on and off. I need Vet RX to treat them. I live in Vancuver Canada and checked the feed stores around the city and even in Bellingham area in US and had no luck. Is there anyone in Vancvouver area who knows where I can get it or have extra and is...

Did it work for anyone else? I'm trying this now and also what is the ratio of the powder in the food? Mine are about 2-4 months old. Thanks
