So a few months ago my niece hatched some eggs at school and was given about 13 baby chicks. The bad thing is half of them are roos. We want to raise them til they are fully grown and sell them. But we don't want them messing with the girls so we are planning on putting them all together in one...
Omg, I noticed that this happened to one of my chickens. I thought the whole time it was because of my little sister who hit her beak when she was younger on accident
One of my young hens died yesterday randomly. But I didn't know how or why it died but today I looked at my other hens and roos and they got a little tiny bugs crawling around their skin and feathers. How do you get rid of it?
I'm sorry for your loss :( I seem to be having the same problem. One of my young girls just randomly died. I didn't have any idea til now. Because today I've seen little tiny bugs crawling around some of my chickens feathers. Plus one of them is so weak now it can barely raise its head :(.
When I went out today to give treatment to all my young hens and roos I found one that before showed no symptoms of the disease MG unlike my other chickens that have the symptoms. But, it looks like it just up and died. No bite marks no bleeding no signs of death. My only predictions are it died...
No sadly my last sebright got killed (I just love the breed so much I made it my username). Anyways, they are many different types of breeds such as New Hampshire Reds, EE's, Leghorns, Deleware, Jersey Giant, Orpingtons, Brahmas, Wyandottes, Mixed breeds, but no bantams. They are still small...
