Hey there. I share a space with my MIL... we have 12 chickens. One showed signs of respiratory distress so I pulled her out and got a light on her. No improvement for two days so I dosed with antibiotics. Some improvement but not fully recovered. I had planned on trying a course of different...

I think I've noticed an improvement this morning. She was preening her wings and neck feathers, so I take that as a good sign. Still a little pale. No bright red poops, just darker diarrhea, though she hasn't ate, so I imagine that explains the lack of substance. I imagine she wasn't getting...

Makes perfect sense. Awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure the gentlemen who is taking care of our chickens will be able to accomplish this, but I'll for sure be able to dose her with that this evening and tomorrow morning at the very least. Again, thank you!

Hi Kathy, Thanks for your input!!! I could only get the powder, so I've got 1.5 tsp per gallon right now. That is what I'm giving her via syringe. I'm not forcing her, just squirting it in the corner of her beak. She drinks it willingly. I gave her another appx 20ml of medicated water just a...

I too thought she was a little old, but through a few websites and other threads I've noticed that it isn't such a rare thing. It is more rare for a bird older than a year to contract it. We've had really humid weather lately so I'm wondering if that is at play as well. I'm just stressing out...

Hi All, I have a backyard flock of four chickens. Two Easter Eggers, one Silver Laced Wyandotte and one Black Copper Maran. My SLW, Mrs. Robinson is the one who is not feeling well. She is 26 weeks old and I am unsure of her weight. The rest of the chickens are doing fine and not showing any...

Personally I like a variety. For my mixed flock I got two Easter Eggers (blue/green eggs), a Silver Laced Wyandotte (light brown) and a Black Copper Maran (Chocolate). Only one EE is laying right now and her eggs are light pink/blush colored. That was a little disappointing, but I still have...

She does have a little bit of a song, but I don't notice her doing it unless I stick my head in the coop while she is sitting. I don't hear it if I'm in the backyard or anything like that. Funny!

Mystery solved... the two larger eggs were double yolkers. I had thought my husband had already eaten them. Cracked a few open for breakfast today and got four yolks out of two eggs. It is confirmed that these eggs are being laid by my EE. Not sure if she is the first layer from the start, but...

My SLW is so skiddish that I wouldn't know if she would squat because she won't let me pet her. My EE that has been in the nesting box is squatting for sure. My Black Copper Maran is squatting too, though I haven't noticed her in the nesting boxes at all, and would be very surprised if she was...

I don't think it was a double yolk... but I think my husband ate it. I'm pretty sure he would have said something. I'm assuming that egg size wouldn't change either. Just hoping because I'll be real sad if my EE is laying light brown eggs. I know it is a possiblity, but of course one I had hoped...

Glad that I'm not the only one. Now we need some chicken veterans to chime in.

Hey Everyone! This is my first post here on BYC. I looked through with a search and didn't really find an answer to my question, so I figured I'd dive in and see what you knowledgeable folks have to say. I've got a mixed backyard flock of birds who arrived on March 5th of this year. I've got...
