    Sneeze/cough

    She's eating and drinking fine but has this sneeze/cough for a few weeks. I've wormed today and they've been getting ACV and garlic in their water. She's the only one of 62 hens that's doing it. Thoughts? Advise?

    Half Roo but lays eggs?

    We hatched 28 peeps around May 20 2015 and 23 survived our newbie mistakes (moisture buildup...respiratory illness). At 3 months we were confident that all the roos were plain to see so we advertised them in the local Valley Trader. We kept what we thought we 13 hens and 2 roos. Cut to 5 months...

    Question about coryza

    I'm reading that coryza causes a drop in production. Is this a temporary drop or is it a permanent condition of the disease?

    Late blooming roo?

    If by some miracle it lays eggs, I'll name it Caitlyn. Otherwise, I think we have a Bruce on our hands.

    Late blooming roo?

    We hatched peeps May 20 2015 and the two Roos we kept were obviously male from the tales and combs. About one and a half weeks ago, I started to notice one of the girls tails started developing what looks like sickle feathers, but no obvious comb. Now look:

    Feeding Layer Pellets to 3 month old chicks?

    I stopped by TSC on the way home and pickup up a 15 lb bag of finisher. Dumped out what was in the feeders and filled with the grower/finisher. The three Roos on the right lost it when they saw the adults gobble up the layer I dumped out. They were happy as a clam when I placed their refilled...

    Feeding Layer Pellets to 3 month old chicks?

    We switched ours over at 3 months about a week ago. Should I switch back to grower for a month or two?

    Pullets or cockerels? (Mixed breed 12 weeks)

    Thank you. Chicken math is kickin in. Hmmm, 5 of the 7 peeps that hatched Aug 30 to Sep 17 appear to be boys. That means we need at least 38 more girl peeps.

    Thank you and I have pics to see if anyone can distinguish male or female. I know the black one is a roo. The three in the second coop, I heard the lightest one crow. I'm still convinced the others are boys too.[/IMG][/IMG]

    New from frederick county, Virginia

    Poultry update: Of the 7 peeps that hatched from our broody girls (aug31-sep 17), two are definitely roosters. They crowed today for the first time. After watching them closely and seeing their temperaments (males are unafraid whereas females are timid) and their combs develop I'm worried I...
