I need suggestions for essential oils for a hen with a large swollen red squishy warm abdomen - currently she's on antibiotics from the vet... doesn't seem to be doing much yet.
I've looked everywhere and I'm waiting to hear back from the breeder, wondering how long I need to wait after and start laying eggs before I use her eggs to incubate and raise a baby chicks. Another words is it better to wait a few months after they started laying or do they need to be over a...
Thank you so much Mary. I went in today and worked in the same way I might have with a horse or dog who was being rude in my space. I did have my red night shirt on again. And I watched each chicken as she came towards my feet or ankles and if it looked like they were going to peck at all on me...
I had a chicken peck me really hard on my leg today and I was wearing a red nightshirt that came down to my calves. She got me through the night shirt but was so hard that it really hurt. Never done that before.
What's the best way to handle that separate from the issue of the color red - I...
Yes that's what I've been figuring from different people's input. Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it. Luckily I have found him a new home that I'll be taking him to in the next couple of weeks.
I can't seem to find the button to start a new thread on my mobile app. So I'm posting new pictures of my 10 and a half week old Rhode Island red here - I'm pretty sure it's a boy. I've also posted a picture of him with the other Rhode Island red who I think is a girl.
I'll have to take some more detailed pictures this weekend and I'll post a few of each chick with their name.
The Plymouth Barred Rock is so mellow I was hoping it was a girl, plus what I was reading it made it sound like the girls were darker like this one as the boys had more thicker white bars
I am a new chicken owner and my chickens are just over five weeks - there's 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 buff Orpingtons and 1 Plymouth Barred Rock. I'm having a hard time posting more than one or two pictures - can anybody tell just from these whether they are boys or girls?
I am looking for some adolescent chicks of the light Sussex breed from a reputable breeder. Want ones that were vaccinated with Marecks when they were born. I'd like to get them at about 8 weeks old give or take so they can go out in the outdoor pen. I probably only want 2 maybe 3. I live...
Thank you so much for your post. They have been getting some of the save a chick electrolytes, and I could add in the save probiotic mix that I also bought.
They've been eating pretty well since last evening and they were at the feed store for a day and a half eating. They are on Bar Ale medicated chick starter.
