    Changing Waters

    I'm trying to get my chickens to use the nipple waterer, they are between 1 and 4 years old. I've had the nipple waterer in the coop for a couple of weeks and it does not look like anyone has used it as I marked the water level. Has anyone tried putting something on the nipple (i.e. food) to...

    Roost placement

    We have one aggressive hen that she spars with, but they get along well enough. She sits on the sill of the door itself; she does not sit on the little perch by the pop door. In the late afternoon she looks in trying to figure out how to get on the perch but just can't seem to get it done.

    Yellow/green poop lethargic 4 year old hen

    Thank you for the link to Enrofloxacin and Baytril should I use both of these products? I have not de wormed my flock, would adding apple cider vinegar to their water be sufficient? I did not check her crop this morning will check it now and again tomorrow morning.
