    White sac passed from vent

    That is a good idea. I don’t think of evenings after they’ve roosted because I feel like I am disturbing them all, but that would be way easier!

    White sac passed from vent

    I did crush a tums yesterday and today for her. But I mixed in food. What’s the best way to orally medicate a chicken? I’ve tried once before and it went horribly. She is on an all flock feed because I have a rooster and a silkie. I do give separate oyster shells and their egg shells crushed...

    White sac passed from vent

    First time having a sick one and I’m not sure if I did this right. Yesterday she had a tube looking sac coming out of her vent. I gave her a mash with a crushed up tum. Today she was still on the roost when the other ladies had all come out to range. I made the soak box this morning and stuck...

    Feather pecking

    I’m not sure what kind of room they had where they were at and that’s where it had have started at. Then I assume the stress of being moved is what caused more abuse. I have them in nutrena naturalize chick bits. Also tried to add in sunflowers but they don’t seem to like those.

    Feather pecking

    Hello, I got a few new chickens over a week ago that are about 12 weeks old. Anyway the Welsummer came with a bare tail head, which the last warned me about. On further inspection of all the birds two other ones also had feather pecking of their tail base. I caught the culprits. Splash Marans...

    Wings

    Will she ever grow them out fully? Or always look bedraggled?

    Thank you 😢 it’s one of the most hardest decisions to make but we as owners have to be selfless. She had a good long 13 years of doing Labby things. Bird hunting, counter surfing, fetching, swimming. ☺️

    Ooh that’s good to know. It’s obviously easier to feed all one thing but I am not against feeding separate if needed. Just lost my 13 year old lab last week and had to feed her separate from my poodle for the longest time. Just a part of owning animals of all different ages.

    That’s ok! Ok good I just don’t want to mess up their growing by feeding the wrong thing. I think I’ll get nutrena flock raiser for the adults and their starter feed for the babes.
