Hi all, my friend brews beer and has some left over grains. Can I give them to my girls?

Hi all, I was soooo eggcited to find Silkies at my local Rural King. I bought two. They seemed healthy and I cleaned pasty butt on my yellowish girl (Lucinda) for three days. She wobbled a bit like a drunk but overall was very vocal and sweet and lovable. Yesterday I came home and she had died...

Hi all, I was hanging out with my girls when I noticed Beverly's beak. The bottom one is split in half. It doesn't seem to cause her any pain. She eats and drinks and lays just fine. What could have happened?

Hi all, A while ago I had an aggressive rooster who rode my girl so hard he balded her back. Tore out so many feathers and hurt her skin. He is no longer with us and it doesn't seem like her feathers are growing back. Do I buy a feather fixer feed? Do the feathers grow back? I feel bad for my...

Hi all, My rooster has some really raw areas on the comb on both sides. It's pretty gnarly looking. I know it's not frostbite because it's 88 degrees where I live. He's a pretty aggressive roo and he's pretty tough on my hen (she's missing back feathers and is bald where he mounts her) and I...

Hi all, I just build a new roosting bar and nesting boxes to replace what I had. One of my girls refuses to use the new box, the other took to it without a problem. I keep finding eggs under the new bar and today the egg was really discolored. She lays a pretty dark brown egg but have found lots...

I got Cornelia as the leftover from a fox attack back in November. She suffered some eye issues and worms and was all alone in her own Til yesterday when I introduced the other two new girls. I was a little worried she would get pecked on again. She had never laid an egg for me until this...

I'm sure everyone is tired of my problem child's eye. :( I'm at the end of my rope. We are on the third day of tylan 50. No change in the swelling and the eye is just barely open. Just not in the picture. I see like a yellow build up under the third lid when it is open however no matter how hard...

Hi, I'm look for tylan because my chicken has bubbles in her eye and it's not healing with saline rinses and vetricyn.. Please help, I've been trying to solve this for a month! I just need a small quantity and all I'm finding is giant bottles. Thanks.

Cornelia is my problem child. She was a lone intro to the coop and has been the loner ever since. She has had an eye infection with puss coming out in one eye and the other eye had worms. I'm at a loss of what to do with her. I rinsed with saline for a week and treated with vetricyn for over a...

My black australorp, Frida, has laid some awesome Brown speckled eggs since she began laying in mid October. Today she laid an almost white egg. Anyone else ever seen this? Her egg yesterday was a little lighter brown but today was just weird. What could cause this?

So I have had my two original birds (hen and roo) for 7 months which I kept from a total of 6 birds (I had 5 roos). A little over a month ago I got a new girl and since I'm new at this I didn't separate her. I just let her in the coop which didn't go well, she ended up with an injured eye. Could...

Hi all. Could not find valbazen at rural King to treat eye worms. Can I use wazine 17 for eye worms? Just one chicken has it. What would be the dosage?

Hi all, This is post #3 of Cornelia's eye issues. Its been at least 7 days since my first post when her eye was all gooey and then crusted shut. It is SLOWLY opening. This is after a week of rinsing with saline and triple antibiotic ointment. The third lid is still soo swollen and I can barely...

Hi everyone, My girl, Cornelia, has had an eye things going for a week now. At first it was just gooey and I could see the eye. She was really lethargic and limp. I hand fed her treats and water and she ate. The next morning she was more lively. I have been rinsing with saline and applying...

My girl has some whitish goo coming from her eye. I rinsed with saline and put on ointment. Any other advice?

Hello you fabulous chicken lovers of BYC, During my weekend cleaning I found that my roo's feet are a little more red than normal (he has black feet). It has been raining non-stop for three days here in Florida and everything outside is drenched. He doesn't seem to be bothered and is...

I added a new girl to my flock and she hadn't laid an egg since I got her. I found an egg today that she had laid while roosting on the small roof of the coop. It rolled down the pitched roof and cracked. I tried to put her in the coop to show her the best if box and Friday went in after her and...

So now I'm nervous. I had one hen and one roo and added one more hen tonight. The other two have been together since hatching and they are so mean to Cornelia (new girl). They won't let her in the coop but she is sitting up high on a perch outside the coop. The other two pecked and circled her a...
