    sick chickens...are the eggs safe to eat?

    Well, all the chickens are looking back to normal this morning! Even my roo whose toes had gotten curled up and couldn't walk is up on his feet looking normal. All we did was quarantine and give nutridrench once a day so who knows.

    sick chickens...are the eggs safe to eat?

    We have 11 total chickens they are about 6 months old. 2 are roosters, one rooster and two hens are sick the other 8 seem completely fine so far. The more I read, the more it sounds like it could be ANYTHING which is frustrating. We've wondered if they ate something poisonous, we have a compost...

    Thank you! They have not been medicated as of yet so that answers my egg question, we'll have yummy breakfast tomorrow morning Still feel weird about eating the meat of a sick bird, but again, they aren't medicated, and all of you responses are reassuring. This morning one of the hens was...

    When to NOT eat eggs and meat?

    I've been wondering if we have adequate ventilation. When it got chilly we closed some of the vent doors because we were worried about cold air blowing right down on them. This is our coop, you can see the small vent hole in the taller part of the coop, there is one like it on the other side...

    When to NOT eat eggs and meat?

    Thank you for the advice! And lazy gardener for the encouragement! We are feeling exactly that, we've worked too hard to just waste eggs and birds...but want to make sure we're being safe too, we've never done this before. We haven't used any medications on them yet. Yesterday the one roo and 2...

    When to NOT eat eggs and meat?

    We are new to chickens and our chickens just started laying reliably a week ago. We were planning on eating some of their eggs this weekend but three of them started showing health issues yesterday that made me wonder if this is safe? When should eggs not be eaten, can sicknesses get into eggs...

    help me plzzzz baby chick not well

    Read up on chick care, lots of helpful information posted here. They need to be kept very warm until they are fully feathered and if he's bunching up with other chicks he may just be trying to keep warm. They also sleep a lot but if he seems sleepier than normal check to make sure he doesn't...

    sick chickens...are the eggs safe to eat?

    Today we had one of our roosters and 2 hens become lethargic and have runny white poo. As soon as I noticed I quarantined them and gave them nutri-drench. Tomorrow we will try to get something to treat for worms and cocci, which seems to be the recommendation I'm finding here on other threads...

    Chickens w buldge on Right side of chest - Photos Included -

    Mine have access to their feed all day too and water. We put it up at night just because it sits outside and we don't want to attract wild animals. We also put grit out for them all the time. I don't know about the runny nose. I've never noticed runny noses on ours, even the roo that had the...
