I haven't checked the accuracy of the temperature gauge yet because all the other eggs have hatched on day 21. It is tornado season here so the electricity goes out a lot.
25 days ago I was given 6 BLRW hatching eggs from a friend who wanted to see if the eggs were fertile,5/6 eggs were fertile. Four of the chicks hatched yesterday(day 24), but one of them has a single comb, is this normal? He had all the BLRW's in their separate breeding pen and all of them have...
Sorry it took me so long to reply, we went and got our first DUCKS:love! But anyway, I am needing the coop pretty soon, maybe in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I live about 30 minutes from Mcalester, OK so not far out.
I am wanting to build a new coop(for breeding), but I need it to be cheap because I am too young to have a job and my parents don't wanna pay for it. The whole homestead was my idea so they fund it and I do all the chores, but this time they don't want to pay for it so I have to. So I would...
It might be under too much stress. Do you have any other animals like a dog or something? And do you let it go outside?
It would also do better if it had a companion.
Ok, thanks.
I am thinking about moving them or culling them but how do I disinfect their coop? I have many chicks in multiple stages that are away from the main coop that I will eventually want to move into the coop but I don't want them to get infected, so how do I keep them from getting...
Ok sorry, I did check their throats and there are no blockages or anything. They only make the sound when they are eating, which I thought was really weird.
We will be getting the chickens checked as soon as possible.
Well, my humidity was running 22% - 31% until day 18, which is when I first put water in. Turned out great all six eggs hatched and there are happy and healthy.
Now all of my chickens in that coop are making the sound every time they eat or drink. Everyone is acting normal otherwise. What medicine can I get that is reasonably priced? How do I know that it is a respiratory infection?
The other day a hen was drinking water and she made a gurgling sound but I didn't think anything of it because she was drinking, But now all of my chickens in that coop are making the sound every time they eat or drink. Everyone is acting normal otherwise. What medicine can I get that is...
Yeah, the one that was sick first is new. I got them about a week ago, but I didn't quarantine them because they had just had been wormed and he said something about some shots they also had.
I also thought it might be a respiratory infection but I don't know what kind of medicine to use. Would...
I now have two chickens making the gurgling sound, but I am starting to hear the sound a lot less often than before. I got some VetRx hoping it would help but I am not sure if it will.
