    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    Thank you for the suggestions! Im going to throw shavings down in the coops. Im having a hard time finding delivery sand so Shavings is my only option. We've had it before. Its just easier for me to scoop poop than blow out the entire coop. So the coops are made with fence panels. So there is a...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    I wanted to update on our crisis here: I started the poult on denagard per recommendation of an admin from my cross beak fb group. She’s been getting it roughly three days now and her swelling is gone. She is still sneezing a lot. But she’s running around with a normal face, thank goodness...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    So its been a minute since i've updated this thread. I was in touch with an admin from my crossbeak group who suggested I put denagard in the turkey's water. I did this and now, about three days later, her swelling is gone. I also cleaned out her nostrils to make sure it was clogged. Shes still...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    Thank you for the suggestions. Im thinking I will have to reconsider my roost heights. As far as the worms go, I know exactly who it was. I haven't found any worms in any other droppings. So Im thinking maybe I was seeing bubbling? Or perhaps she pooped on bugs and thats what was moving? When I...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    The highest roost I have is about four foot high. The rest are lower. I dont have a picture of the foot right now but when I clean it tonight I'll get one and post it. I definitely want to direct dose them over placing in the water, but I'll have to do that at night. I don't have the time in...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    The First saturday lime acts as my DE. I was using it initially for odor and bugs. So I have increased the amount I put on the coop floor. We had pine shavings before. It was just a lot of clean out and smelled. Maybe I'll go half and half? Just to cushion it some. Thank you!

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    The area the run is in has never been a large sunny area. So it's always stayed a bit wet. We will have to consider hiring someone to trim the trees if they can get to them. They're pretty big. What kind of dewormer are we talking? I've read ivermectin, safeguard, aquasol. But I don't have a...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    Surgery?! What am I looking for to determine that? I changed the roosts thinking they weren't wide enough the first time. I thought their feet were uncomfortable or were having a hard time gripping. I then put in pieces of molding from our house that we changed out. Those were starting to...

    I can't keep my flock healthy.

    Im looking for help. Advice. I guess anything. I can't seem to keep my flock healthy. I have a flock of around fifty. Ranging from brooder to adult. I have gone through every problem imaginable. We've had respiratory illness, bumble foot, mites, and now worms. And the illnesses aren't mild...

    Hen or Roo? They got me wondering!

    Thank you! All of my other teens have gotten their feather patterns already and we can pretty clearly see who is what. But this guy was our mystery.

    Hen or Roo? They got me wondering!

    Oh man! You give me hope, lol! We have a leghorn pullet we purchased at our feed store and her comb and waddles are small. Nothing like this guys. His was exagerated a week after he was born. But if he is a she I would not be mad! Also, I LOVE the leghorn combs. They are my favorite.

    Hen or Roo? They got me wondering!

    Good morning. I’m jumping on the band wagon. Do I have a hen or roo? White leghorn, 11 weeks old. We hatched him. We assumed roo because that comb grew in fast. But I’m starting to wonder? No attempts at crowing. And unless I’m not seeing it, I don’t see saddle feathers coming in. What do y’all...

    Rooster/bachelor flock.

    Good morning! So I seem to have a lot of my new chicks turning into roosters. We love our little guys so much. We don't want to have to get rid of them. Even the young ones are showing how good of a roo they'll be. Eventually I would like to breed some of them. I am toying with the idea of a...
