    Deep litter method

    My mother in law does this. It's more the sand is the draining layer on bottom and everything is changed after a while (couple months or personal preference). It's pretty much the same as all the other deep litter methods with a little more drainage. The nest boxes have the mock astro turf pad...

    I don't know what's wrong

    I am now more sure it is probably botulism. If you can the epsom salt drip to crop i described earlier would help. Electrolyte treatment with a broad spectrum of vitamins will help The vet has an antitoxin however it is very expensive and the vet is a personal decision. There are 2 forms of an...

    I don't know what's wrong

    I would give electrolytes with a broad spectrum of vitamins. It could rule out a vitamin deficiency and wouldn't hurt. Check your feed and water and litter. Better yet, change your feed entirely with a different store and brand. If it is botulism, then giving your other chickens that feed may...

    No, (old flock) It be like vaccinating for chicken pox after the human kid had it. Yes, (new chicks) Vaccinating birds is the oz of prevention vs pound of cure. If your chicks got mareks, it be a bad day and your options would suck. It's considered a baby chick disease so the grown...

    Deep litter method

    sand and pine shaving . Sand on bottom to improve drainage and pine shavings on top to prevent bumblefoot. The soft surface is what helps prevents it. I wouldn't use it during the rainy season. Gravel can be used under the sand but it can be risky if they eat it so I don't do it...

    Wheezing, yellow discharge & stuck eye

    Possible but unsure. Chickens are kinda like fish. All for one and one for all. Most there isn't much you can do. If it's bacterial, you may be able to get antibiotic. Think it's Tylan for bacterial but I'm tired and unsure. If it's viral you really can't do anything. It's 3 am for me. Tylan...

    For pasty butt the cause is typically some regulatory issue with the heat or a food digestion issue. The treatment is to gently clean the birds butt with a warm damp paper towel and apply Vaseline after butt is cleaned. The Vaseline is used to prevent further pasty butt. You may lose the...

    Does it look like wry neck from the video below? The treatment is also shown too. Tried to knock out 2 birds with 1 stone. It's hand feed the hen and give good electrolyte solution. It could be they got into mold while free ranging but I hope not and I'm going for the one you can do...
