What is leakage?

I will try to get some better pics.

I don't have a very good pic but I will post what I have. He is black with a gold saddle and mantle.

Thankyou so much. I do love to sit and watch the chooks scratch and pick. I leave a chair out by the pen for just that purpose. I call it watching chook tv. So peaceful, it is.

How ironic. My home is actually just north of the lake about six miles west of Madisonville in Bedico. We also lived down the bayou for years in Dulac below Houma. We have been here in Kentucky for 14 years.

I love to see pics. Unfortunately I only have my Ki dle for pics and it is quite old so it does not take great pics. But I take them anyway. LOL Thankyou for your well wishes. I would love to see pics of your country. I like to watch shows filmed in Austrailia. Steve Irwin got me started.

Thank you. I will try to get on top of this. My little hen passed during the night. I thought she rallied yesterday but it wasn't to be.

Is Wazine the brand name? I should be able to get that at TSC, no? Thanks so much for the info.

I have never wormed chickens before. Is it something they need? How can you tell if it's needed. I am asking because I have a 1 1/2 yo bantam hen that is having problems with weakness and soft stool. She is also very thin.

I just had a less than optimum hatch. 14 out of 24 eggs. One chick had trouble getting out of the shell and had to have help. Looks like it may live but it is weak. The membrane in that egg was very thick. I cracked the eggs that didn't hatch to see what had happened with them. 2 had not begun...

So much to think about. I wish I could let them free range but they wouldn't last long.
