flock

So I went out to my coop this morning and found this in some poop. I know it’s a roundworm and that I need to treat the whole flock then. Are there any methods someone could recommend for treatment? There isn’t really anything available for chickens at my local feed stores and I really want to...

I've got 5 straight run chickens who are coming up 7 weeks old now. I've got one really obvious cockerel and one who I am 80% sure is also a cockerel - His comb and wattles are larger than the girls but nowhere near as big and red as the first's. I am expecting to have to rehome of l least one...

I am sending in a test for MG but the symptoms are sneezing, light snot and sometimes bubbles in the eye. I’ve been treating with Tylan 50 or Tiaguard. My dad also raises his chickens and they show the same symptoms but worse since he doesn’t care to treat it consistently or as needed. His coop...

I have my first ever flock, we kept one rooster out of all the chicks I raised. He seems really sweet so far, does a dance for his hens, does a squat when I pet him, will let me pick him up and generally is a gentle boy when mating with the hens. He's fine around humans and our dogs currently...

So ever since they were young, my two bonded geese have had a lot of contact with the land around our garden including the canal and river. They are both very well behaved and come back when called - they are also both very healthy and have never shown signs of disease, the most we’ve had is...

Welcome! It's been a while since I posted, right? Anyway, if anybody has watched my videos about chickens on YouTube, you probably know a thing or two about each of my chickens. Whether you did or not, or whether you care or not, I am making this post talking about each my chickens in more...

Hello! You all warned me when I joined this would've turn into way more than a hobby! I work from home so I am with my birds everyday, all day. I talk to them like children. I tell them stories, we talk about our day, any issues and yes I make them answer for me. We have so many Adventures...

Hello everyone! Long time since I've posted but I have a question for anyone that might know what's going on with an eye of one of my white embden geese. I noticed a couple months ago something was up with his (Guardy)'s eye but I don't know what. It doesn't seem to impair him at all but it's...

One of my silkie hens started acting lethargic two days ago. Yesterday, we found her with yellow crust completely over both eyes, yellow nasal discharge, and her feathers felt stiff/clumpy/greasy. She did not make it through the night. I am worried about the rest of my flock. I have 9 other...

Backstory, my coworkers and I are dressing up as farmers for Halloween. We work in a nursing facility of a very rural state where most people were at least raised on farms, we thought it would be fun for our residents. One coworker doesn't own any "farmer" clothes so I suggested pajama pants...

I have a total of 21 chickens and 3 ducks As well as two chicks and some eggs incubating. Here’s all of my feathered babies and their names! (Two are unnamed so names are welcomed as well) Feel free to drop pics and names of your flock as well! This is Holly Peño a RIR and has two eggs in...

In the coop to the left of the photo, I have eight week old babies along with mama. When they start laying, I plan on integrating them with my existing flock. My question is at what point do I remove mama from the babies because mama is from my in-laws flock as she was broody and hatched our 12...

Hello :) I need some help figuring out how to introduce the new members of this flock together. Currently have 8 laying hens. 9 in the brooder that are 13 weeks old. Acquiring a 15 week old Black Australorp rooster next week. What would be the best order and way to introduce these birds? I would...

Hi everyone I I incubated my eggs at 96.5 by mistake because the temperature is stable and I trust my incubator I never checked it my mistake, humidity 49 to 55 no more no less I candle them on day 26 and they are all alive and moving a lot with the air sack big and the embryo covers almost all...

looking for suggestions and advice for integrating my 7 week chicks with my one year old chickens. I am currently doing the see no touch method in the run. I plan to add lots of clutter. There is a good size difference. Should I be alarmed? How do I do this smoothly? Thinking of fully...

I have 5 ducks. 4 welsh harlequins (one is male) and 1 silver appleyard. They’re 2 years old. I want to get two female goslings and introduce them to the ducks once they’re big enough but not too big. I also have a polish chicken who stays with the ducks, which might also be a problem. I keep my...

Hi there, Since joining things have changed here and there! My rooster adventure lasted a month. He just wasn't a good fit and found a good home that he currently loves with 40 girls! My six girls have all started laying and I am getting eggs daily and I absolutely love hanging out with them...

I found a home for our rooster that has been with our girls for about a month. Is there anything I need to watch out for after removing him? I know pecking order will change and we’ll have some conflict but anything else?

Just wanted to post some pics of my six girls and rooster! I’m hoping they start laying in March 🤞🏼❤️

They are growing so fast and have the funniest personalities! I enjoy them every day!
