We had 3 birds that had mycoplasma. We got them from a swap. So we killed the 3 and now we are cleaning up. We are vacuuming their run and washing everything. Any tips for cleaning? Should I burn the stuff we have in there (things they hide behind and perch on)? My main question is, how long...

What do I do with the body? We have to wait until Monday to call the vet. I'd like them to test it to see why it happened. Please help. We don't want it to rot or anything. It's our first chicken death.

We have just added sulmet in their water. We aren't sure if its only one of them. Should I try to use coccid instead?

The chick is only 5 days old. There is 3 other chicks the same age and two older ones that are 2 weeks.

They are using purina start & grow medicated

The chicks are acting fine and we know which one is pooping blood, if she is the only one. What do I treat them with? Should I separate the one?

I forget what it's called but they charge $3 to slaughter one chicken. We will be getting rid of about 25 next year, but we want to make sure that they will be killed humanely. I have read that cutting the head off completely is the most humane it will get. Slitting the throat so they will bleed...

Please help

Anyone?

I felt around for an egg but couldn't feel one. I let her soak in warm water for 20 minutes yesterday and no egg. Today, she is drinking water with Wazine in it. She wont eat anything! She doesn't move around still and keeps closing her eyes. Her poop is still runny. She is a year and a month.

Yesterday, we noticed one of my black sex-link hens in the nesting box not moving and kept shutting her eyes. When I picked her up, I noticed her bottom stomach area was swollen. I though it was egg bound, but couldn't feel an egg. So now we think it has worms. She is sleeping inside and is...

My black sex link hen has been acting strange. It keeps closing its eyes, not moving much, and its bottom looks swollen. I thought it could be egg bound or worms. If it isn't worms, any ideas? Please help! I don't want to lose her.

This hen isn't moving much, keeps closing her eyes, and she is breathing slowly. Any idea on what to do? She won't drink much or eat either. We just noticed this today.

Decided to post an update on the rooster we got rid of. We went to visit him and the people who we gave him to said "You guys aren't taking him home!" They told us that they love him and have no plans to cull him. They admitted he was very aggressive with chickens (the first day they put him...

My Rhode Island hen has two bumps on her back. I don't know if they are feathers trying to come in or what. Please help! Anybody know what it is? Should I cover it with anything? Her back is pretty much bare and raw looking. The rooster has been gone for about a month and we thought...

Can anybody tell if the last picture is of a pullet or a cockerel?

There are some feathers on feet, if that helps.

We bought four chickens from a woman who didn't really know what they are. She said they could be crosses of Maran or Australorp. Now we hear they could be Jersey Giants (which we don't want). The middle picture (full black) has yellow feet. We have two full blacks and two with color...

He is gone now. We have him to a family friend and asked for them not to kill him. If it doesn't work out, we would get him and find a new home. Anyway, the people immediately put my rooster with their flock (10 hens and a rooster!) and the first thing my rooster does is attack the hell out of...

I hope it's okay for them to drink.
