I noticed a few of my hens with a few feathers here and there missing. I thought perhaps it was my Roos. I had 3:1 ratio. So I moved out my Roos to a bachelor pad and have my 6 hens together. All are around 1-1 1/2 years. 3 EE and 3 Dom's. The weather here in NE La has been bipolar at best...
::ya I bet your Roo was shocked!! I had to finally rehome my Snarky. He was an excellent Gentleman to his ladies, but Jeezum he hated me. He wouldnt allow them to come up to me at all. He whop them and come for me. I know i wasnt supposed to but he and I had a few come to Jesus Meetings to no...
I had almost given up.... my Dom hens (3) have been giving 1-3 eggs daily but my lil EE (3) nothing!!! With the time change and temps finally getting more Fall like I'd decided it would be alot longer. 2 EE are around 7-8 months and the other 6 ish.
But this afternoon WALAA!! Would you classify...
I had two sweet Frizzle Bantams, but unfortunately one didn't make it.....so now I just have Lou.
I can't intro her to my 3 snarly Doms or my EE because they're too big and bossy.
What breed can I possibly get that would be a good companion? I just can't stand her being alone. She's even...
Not sure if it's the same.... my exotics only get 1 clipped. This prevents them from flying off. They may take off but the uneven wings has them glide to ground whereas clipping both wings will damage their breast if they catch a draft and try to fly. With NO flight feathers they can hit the...
Morning Guys
Ive been sitting out with my feathered buds and have noticed quite a bit of "loud" pooping. Normal poop with what looks like water. Ive included a pic. Ive noticed NO blood or worms. All were wormed about 3 weeks ago, and then the coughing and sneezing hit.....tylan 200 injections...
Nothing wrong with asking questions and getting multiple answers/opinions. From these answers/opinions, your common sense, and from your success and failures form your own plan. Take advice and file away. If you feel better using a red heat lamp, secure it correctly (which I'm 100% sure you do)...
Hi Mary,
Appreciate your concerns..... however 1) I mainly was concerned about which meds I needed on hand before our buddies at FDA made it impossible to get OTC 2) being in the animal (exotic and native wildlife) field I wanted to get my flock on a worming schedule 3) none have died so a...
I'm a newbie. What do suggest I buy to have on hand. I actually need something for my flock now. About 3-4 of my 9 are coughing and wheezing. I just finished a 3 day worming with safeguard for goats. Any advice is much appreciated!!
Ok, guys this is my first stab at worming chickens. I am so blasted confused and since I suck at Math I am in a bind.
I just purchased Safeguard for goats..... I know to kill all worms I need to dose at 3-5 days. But how much??? I have 3 Barred Rock Hens, 3 EE pullets (4-5 monthd) and 2 EE...
Unfortunately I lost one of my little Bantam Frizzles. This leaves lil Lucky all alone!
My large yard has 6 hens (3 yr olds and 3 between 4-6 months and 2 staggs....(yes i have to decide which to keep ). They are all either Barred and EE so I dont think lil Lucky would fair too well in this...
