Hi, I keep them pretty clean but I will check tonite when they go to sleep. And also she is starting to get a little bald spot on the top of her head I think she might be one of the roosters favorite girls. I have 17 hens and 1 rooster. Could the problem be to much rooster attention? Thank you...
Hi, and thank you so much or your response. One of them does have a red hinnie that does look a but sore with pin feathers and has quit laying as well is this a normal molt too? the redness? Thank you
Hi, I am quite new to this chicken thing and I am not sure if I have a problem or maybe just molting? My question is what part of their little bodies start first..... I have a couple of hens that are looking very raggedy and seem to be losing fluffy butt feathers. Are they maybe at the beginning...
I also just LOVE the way they run or shall I say waddle really fast? They are so very entertaining lolol When free ranging they chase everything that moves I call them my kids he he he
Thanks so much! no insecticides at all. Usually nothing grows for me lol. The wild birds have been devouring them so I just thought my chickies would like them :) but needed to know for sure, thank you
Hello all, my question is I am growing my own sunflowers and was wondering if it is safe to feed my chickens the unshelled seeds? Can I give them the whole head to pick at the seeds themselves? Kinda new to this chicken thing I have had 19 of them for almost a year and am still learning lol...
Thanks for the very informative links. I guess you do learn something new everyday lol. I never knew there was so much to learn about chickens! But they are worth it as I do love them :) Julie
Thank you for the advice, I would not want to see anything be born other than next to perfect. I will check the med website for facts first :) Thanks again, Julie
Oops sorry Kathy just one last last question. I wormed two days ago and now my neighbor has a broody hen and wants a few fertile eggs. Will they be dead or deformed if her hen hatches them? I have been just throwing the eggs out since I wormed them. I wouldn't want to give her unfit eggs. Thanks
Thanks! I will post this question, I believe someone told me 24 days as well but that seems a bit long UGH no eggs for 24 days? Me and my chickens just want to thank you so much for all your help! Everyone on this site are all so kind to us newbies lol I will be ordering the pigeon worm...
Hi, this sounds perfect for my chickens!!! wonder if I could sneak it in a piece of heir favorite treats lol do you by any chance know if the capsules are small enough? Thank you so so very much for the GREAT help! Julie :)
Thank you! I wish I could afford Valbazen, and someone told me safeguard would not kill tapeworm as the vet tested the poo. I will be saving up for the next worming I have to do in the future :) I just love my chickies lol. Thank you so much for your reply! Have a wonderful day! Julie
