I will also try Vaseline this evening to see if that works. Should I use Vaseline then spray with Blu Kote or just leave the vaseline as is?

We tried irrigation and blu kote last night. They are bleeding again this morning. We Blu Koted them again today but the chickens are really attracted to the blood. It's awful! I have no place to separate the Turkeys from the chickens. I need to purchase a dog run or something for when...

I have 4 toms and 1 poult mixed with lots of chickens. It appears when my Turkeys are strutting their stuff, my chickens are picking out their tail feathers. A few of my turkeys now have huge bleeding holes and I don't know what to do. Obviously infection is a concern and I don't want them...

I am having the same issue. My turkeys have holes in their butt area from the chickens picking at them when they are fluffed up. What can I do besides slaughter them. It looks really painful for the turkeys :(

We have 41 chickens in our backyard coop and 14 across the street. We added 6 Bronze Turkeys at during the chick/pullet stage (all chickens and Turkeys were days/weeks old). We built a second (attached) coop structure for the Turkeys because we thought that they wouldn't want to "live"...

We just recently had a red fox that killed one of our turkeys. We let our chickens and turkeys free range during the day and they go back into the coop at night. That night, we didn't lock them up (my mistake) and the next morning one of the Turkeys was dead and everything eaten except the...

I have 6 Plymouth/Barred Rocks. Two roosters and 4 ladies. Very friendly and pretty chickens. I have been getting these weird colored eggs that I can't tell who's laying and just caught one of my Plymouth Rocks laying a small pink tinged egg. Very interesting! Does anyone have pictures of...

I just had the same issue. One of my RIR chickens laid one egg on 6/30 then nothing after that. We went out of town on 7/3 and were gone all weekend. When I came home, I had 5 more eggs (2 brown and 3 white)...I immediately put them in the fridge but have no idea how long they were there over...

I don't know why my computer keeps double posting...I am not double clicking anything...so weird

This is very interesting information. I thought the Barred Plymouth Rock Roosters were supposes to be way more docile than other Roosters...we shall see. I currently have 17 chickens. We had 18 chickens a month ago but the oldest Rooster (I think he was a Amber Star) was very mean and...

BTW...My oldest Pullets are barely 17 weeks old.

This is our first Egg! My daughter was so excited. One of my girls layed this one on 6/30/13 but I'm not sure who layed it... My chickens have just started laying eggs...really early too. The Amber Links (or White Leghorns) we got on March 1st and by my math shouldn't start laying until...

On a side note, What color eggs does this chicken Leg. My chickens have just started laying eggs...really early too. The Amber Links we got on March 1st and by my math shouldn't start laying until right around August 1st gotten about 3 brown eggs and 2 White eggs so far...can't figure out who...
