I am using Amprol to deworm my chickens. I had one chicken die and there was blood in the stool...she was fine the day before laid a egg and everything. She seemed to be fine. Went back out the next day and she was laying dead in the run. I noticed 4 piles of bloody stools, my guess was she...
Thanks I will probably try that. I also need to get the hens out cause I currently have a bantam brooder on 8 eggs in the same coop they are in and I was thinking...although I may be wrong, that she would be better off without the full size hens in with her. I have a bantam roo and I keep him...
I have an 8 month old Barred Rock roo that has been cooped by himself for months. I took him out of the flock because I had too many roos and I loved this guy and didnt want to get rid of him. I got a barred rock pullet in May and have been waiting till she is old enough to put in with him...
well I was thinking I might eventually take the RIR roo out and put him and my RIR hens together I need to get another run and coop built first. Should I maybe put two hens in with my BR roo? He seems so lonely and gets so agitated
I have an existing flock of 8 hens (2 RIR, 1 black astrolorp, 2 black sexlink and 3 white leghorns) and two roos (1 EE who is the alpha and one RIR)all 6 months old....I know two roos is too much but they get along fine believe it or not, maybe cause they been together their whole life...
I have keets that are about 8 weeks old. They are fully feathered but I think they are loosing the down on thier heads now and they look almost bald. is this normal?
I have had my keets now for about 7 weeks they are probably 8 to 9 weeks old. Are they too young to start free ranging and if so how old should they be when I do start free ranging them. THanks
well he made very tasty BBQ extremely lean...a little tough but edible. I am going to slow cook the other one and hope it is a bit more tender cause it sure was tasty
Well I do have to say that I got them being told I was getting something totally different but to be honest they are awesome birds..they are all so sweet and I love listening to the roos little crow...lol People come over and say WHAT WAS THAT.....I just laugh and say it is my little bantam...
We did not use a cone, didnt have one and wasnt expecting to have to cull a couple roosters. He did flop around alot afterwards, I hated it but I guess it could have been from that. I appreciate all the responses. I will let everyone know tomorrow if he tasted ok cause he is going on the...
Oh my I didnt realize they were that old. I dont have a nesting box for her in there. Should I put some straw over in a corner and hope she will set there if she starts laying?
Hoping to get some help with my bantams. I have 3 silver duck wing bantams two roos and one hen. I have no idea how old they are I got them from a place in Florida who told me they were something else. I ended up with these beauties and they are sweet as they can be. Right now I have them in...
Actually it isnt really that gross....I was just wondering if maybe I had the water too hot or something when I went to pluck him. He was a very healthy roo
