Hmm.. they seem to be alive, but they're young so not laying yet. I might fence that off!

Haha, mine don't seem to be too destructive. I have 6 houdans so they are a bit delicate, nothing like the ISA browns. Haven't bothered with the oregano or rosemary but seem to be in love with the rhubarb leaves.

Hi all, I am looking to replace some grassy area that is surrounded by pathways with - as the title says - chicken-proof, erosion-proof & bee friendly plants/herbs/edibles. The problem we have had is that the chickens find a way to open up the lawn and that hole just keeps getting bigger and...

Maybe keep the BHT going in small doses to make sure it's still circulating. How long has he been sick? I can see the bump on my chickens leg, but she's too fast to catch, so I haven't attended to it. I'm still mixing b vitamins into their "meatballs". I'll try catching her on the roost...

Good on you for trying everything, I'm beginning to understand that with chickens you have to have a stockpile of knowledge on hand. Look into hulda clarke's zapper, that's probably the theory he's using. Great to hear he's doing a little better, it's so stressful looking after a chicken...

Here's a photo when I got them

Also re: electrodes, that's a special vet you've got!! My dad used to make his own zappers, fun times! I had a 5 yr old ISA brown recently come down with some crazy neurological thing. She couldn't walk in a straight line, I think blind in one eye. Her head kept moving like when you spin...

I'm sorry to hear your rooster's in a bad way. You might also try the famciclovir - it's over the counter. You might want to continue the bht but in the tiniest doses (like a pinch) twice a day or more so if the virus is present, it's deactivated more often. Whatever my chook came down with...

I would approach BHT sparingly. I sprinkled a few granules on a small amount of meat and fed it to the chicken. Apparently it can be cumulative in the fat tissues, so I wouldn't treat the chicken for too long. I viewed this as a situation where I've got nothing to lose, so make sure you feel the...

No prescription. It's a food preservative, but there has been some controversy, but also a lot of relief for people suffering from various viral infections. http://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/BHT.html I bought it from iHerb years ago, it seems to go in and out of stock, my one is quite old as...

Hi all, I've got a chicken who I suspect is affected by Marek's. Would it be worth treating her wit BHT, which has been shown to help with Newcastle virus, and has been highly effective in destroying the lipid coating of the herpes virus in humans. Her symptoms are limping/hopping, appears...

Hi all, I've had chickens for years, but I'm not really 100% on what is needed to control mites and other pests that concern chickens. At the moment they definitely have scale on their legs which I believe is treatable by dipping their legs in oil a few times. But is there a fairly simple...
