Hi, I'm going to put a question out to my fellow Aussies.
I have a broody hen and I want to get some fertile eggs for her as well as getting some new breeds into my flock.

My Australorp X has also started laying. 2 large cream eggs over the last 2 days.

Does any of that info help?
I really...
No crusty legs. No mites or lice that I can see. Do you mean human antibiotics? There is some penicillin v in the medicine cupboard....Was my husbands....
I'm really new to this so sorry if the next few questions sound silly.
How do I check for parasites?
Where do I get antibiotics for a chicken?
Do I need to take him to the vet? (my local vet doesn't normally deal with anything other than cats and dogs)
I have already separated him from...
HI I have posted this elsewhere but haven't gotton a reply. This thread seems more active so i'll try here.
One of my 6 roos is making a crackling noise in his chest. He is 6wks old? Sounds like he has muk on his lungs. What should I do? He is walking around and eating and drinking fine, but...
