The next day i went to our feed store and looked up all the options they had.
I found one (a cattle antibiotic) and added it to her water.
Thanx again!
I really hope i am wrong about this one. I bought a couple hens at the fleamarket or so i thought. This pretty easer egger looked so much like a pullet but now im seeing what i think are saddle feathers and he/she is giant.
I know the pictures suck, they are the best i have. If you need me...
I just wanted to give you an update since you helped me out with so many ideas for this sweet young hen.
Red (survivor) is all better and joined back with her flock. Thank you for taking the time to help a stranger out.
I know it’s risky but we don’t really have a lot of options where I am. We had chickens before but the critters kept eating them.
We fixed that problem but now poor red is sick.
I bought the medicine but I’m not sure it will make it in time for her. At what point would you suggest putting...
She can stand and walk around but because her eyes are so swollen she doesn’t.
She didn’t look picked on, the sluggishness started after her eyes shut.
Here is a pic of her feet, I don’t see swelling or discoloration.
I brought home my first 3 chickens 3 weeks ago. They didn’t have any...
She is a Rhode Island Red and I was told she was 6-7 months old. She was active and had clear eyes.
she just sits there because her eyes are shut now.
3 days ago she had bubbles in her eyes and the following day one was shut. I brought her inside andnowboth her eyes won’t open.
The other...
This is my current coop and I love it.

Now that we have some land I am getting back into chickens! I live in Austin, north of Cabot, south of Searcy.
Anyone have recommendations for buying a bigger coop? I have a little $200 one I got off of amazon on a whim and it’s just not cutting it anymore.
I am looking for a coop kit preferably with a run (in case of bad weather). I have 4 hens at the moment but hope to have a flock of 8-10. Any suggestions are welcome.
YEY!
I was worried about some of the curly tail feathers and reddening of the faces. Its been years since i have had chickens.
Any guesses on the 2 mix breed (black and white)?
