Poor sweet Spike has passed :hitWe had cleaned him up this morning and he was alert but could not get him to eat. I found a vet willing to give me some prefilled antibiotic injection for him but he had declined so much, he was barely breathing. I'm hugging my little helpers reminding them they...

Do you have a steam cleaner? It may be worth renting one if not to do your carpeting in the house. I also have a steam mop that detaches to do my tile floors. I have used that to steam out the coop and all the corners after emptying it. Let it dry out, then dust. That high heat should kill any...

I keep a mix of seeds to seed heavily used run areas including kale, arugula, lettuce, chard, sunflower, watercress, broccoli, marigolds, nasturtium, chia, radish, carrot, basil and parsley and some sort of microgreen sprout mix that a seed company sent me as a gift ... I'm planting it around...

Spike has made it though his first night here He's not as perky as yesterday but it's time for more antibiotic so I'm sure that's why. I'm giving him 150 mg amox in about a tbsp of mashed banana or apple sauce twice a day (the goal being to get at least over 100mg in him) and using surgical wash...

Now that I've done what all I could think to do, my anger at that blockhead is coming to surface. I actual thought about unleashing some of my excess eggs at him. They knew they were wrong for keeping him that way and they left before I got there. If they had just let me buy him on Saturday, he...

Thanks, I will head to tractor supply in the morning after I check on him and give him antibiotic. All of this was just this afternoon so since securing him in his coop, I've just peaked at him once to be sure he's still breathing. The guy had no other chickens. So this little guy was so...

Sorry for not updating... Finally brought SPIKE home today. The guy was not interested in letting me buy the rooster but then I got a call today. Their dog got a hold of him, he wasn't eating and they didn't think he would live. They didn't know what to do-he said I could have him if I still...

Great advice! I keep checking on him because we've had heat advisories and pretty bad storms with flooding. My kids are watching how we handle this too

What can I do to help this rooster? He's being kept in a 2'x1-1/2' puppy crate over gravel. A water jug takes up half his space. He's never let out, has no bedding or grass. The neighbors say he's been fed only meager food scraps every few days. He seems so sweet but has stopped crowing and...

I have found a wealth of information from reading everyone's posts. I joined 2 years ago but have finally decided our youngest child was old enough to not torture chicks. She's only been begging for them for 3 years- now she's 7 and helped hand select the 18 chicks we brought home this week...
