Hi! We got a batch of guineas 3 days ago. Since then 2 random deaths and today one is acting like it has vertigo. Unsteady, keeps falling and rolling, she king head and quivering beak. What is going on?
Thanks all! I put her back in the old spot and she’s happy as can be. She’s been kicking out eggs that aren’t developing or aren’t fertile so I’ll watch a few days and see what she does
I was at work. Checked on her at 9 and then at 6. She hasn’t been bothered by others laying where she was sitting. I moved her back and she kept sitting. I may try moving her down a couple boxes and move the eggs too. She’s serious about her business. She plucked herself bald and everything...
Hi! We’ve had a broody sitting on 8 eggs for a week. I canceled some and they’ve developed in the last couple days. Others have been laying eggs in the same nest box and I take the new ones out every day. She’s been doing great. Sometime between 9 and 6 today she left the nest box and went one...
I'm worried if I move her she may not go back to any of them? I'm thinking I could build something to section of a small part of the coop. I have a separate coop but worry about separating then re-integrating. If I sectioned off some coop it would shrink the footage per chicken indoors but they...
Mine are on a non layer feed with oyster shells as well. She is currently setting in the most popular box so maybe I should move her to one of the ones nobody uses?
Hey all! I have a one year old BO who has decided to go broody. She is laying on a hefty stack of eggs as I missed getting them picked up before she started sitting. I don’t want to disturb her so I haven’t done anything with her yet. I’m new to broody hens. Do I need to separate her/the chicks...
Hey all! I need some (more) advice please. Based on symptoms and how this all
started and the fact that some improvement was achieved with Baytril, I believe my flock of 17 have mycoplasma. I treated them for 7 days and at the end all those that were sick seemed (and still do seem) fine. I left...
Okay all....this chicken has be bagged. The sickly one is acting much perkier and gave me quite the argument trying to feed her last night. She seems much less lethargic and is not congested now. Yet she is still hanging in the coop all day and not eating (or if she is it’s not enough to fill...
That’s a good idea! She wouldn’t even eat scrambled eggs. All my girls (and the roo) usually go crazy for eggs. It’s tough because ik
Just so darned attached to them 🤷♀️
