    Tip For Managing Old Hens

    I'm looking for any advice on making life easier for aging hens. I have a couple that are getting up there in age and it seems they're struggling a bit. I plan on decreasing the angle of the ramp into the coop after today's incident. Our old barred rock took a bit of a tumble down the last...

    Head Shaking & Lethargic

    I don't think it's her adjusting her crop because for the last 3 days she really has only eaten a few bites of crushed berries here and there. She will not eat her regular feed or drink other than me forcing her. Her crop is completely empty. I have checked her here and there for lice and mites...

    Head Shaking & Lethargic

    She's a production red. I raise both production reds and rir too. She has not laid since last summer I believe. The way she moves her head around makes me think something neurological but I don't know a lot about avian illnesses. I've only raised birds for about 4 years

    Head Shaking & Lethargic

    She eats organic layer feed. I have 6 others but I don't think that she has laid in a while. Her crop is completely empty. Her butt is red and there's some feather loss. I soaked her a couple days before this happened to treat it.

    Head Shaking & Lethargic

    Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? She is about 3 years old. I found her standing with her eyes closed away from the rest of the flock 3 days ago. Since then she is very lethargic and mostly stands there with her eyes closed. Whenever I bring her out to eat she does this weird head...

    Worming With Safeguard (Molting)

    Well I figured out why it was hard to find. For some reason nobody will ship this stuff to CA. Add this to the many reasons why I hate this state! I'm sure if I dig hard enough I'll find someone who will.

    Worming With Safeguard (Molting)

    Ok thanks for the info I really appreciate it! I think I'll try and find the valbazen like you suggested. I searched around and can't find too many suppliers. Where did you buy yours?

    Worming With Safeguard (Molting)

    These deformed feathers are dangerous to the bird?

    Worming With Safeguard (Molting)

    I began a treatment about 7 days ago. I did not think anyone was molting but I found one who is just beginning and another who is almost done growing in her feathers. That being said I was hoping to get some advice on if I should not do the 2nd treatment or if I should go ahead with it. I have...

    Help.

    Well she's back outside to stretch her legs. Going to give her an hour to free range away from the flock. Will give an update if anything changes

    Help.

    Yes they get a bit of scratch and some mealworms as treats. Usually daily. No table scraps

    Help.

    We feed them organic layer crumbles. She is about 3 years old

    Help.

    Is she ok to go outside after this or should she stay in the house for today? We gave her calcium this morning.

    Sapphire Gem Pullet Or Cockeral?

    Thank you she is very pretty. I really do like this breed and I'm sure yours are going to be just as pretty if not more!

    Sapphire Gem Pullet Or Cockeral?

    Thanks for the reply. I got 2 blue laced Wyandottes at the same time and they have yet to develop their comb and wattles so it makes me nervous about the sapphire gem in question. She developed way faster than any of my 6 other birds
