Thank you everyone! I spoke with the feed store matriarch while buying the wormer. I had forgotten how mites make chickens anemic which causes lethargy just like in us. We figured that out with a down chicken last year and she helped us resolve that problem. My husband would hold her while I...

Ok! The tums/calcium help her lay easier? Thank you!

Thought abiut that? Can ducks be egg bound like chickens? She doesn't strain at all. I will check her today when I work her. Thank you!

Thank you! Ivermecti? How much?

She is one of two sisters abut 4-5 years old. The other female is fine. But the other is weak and mostly wants to sit sometimes head out sometimes tucked. When I approach her she gets up to move away. She is not eating that I can see and does not respond to treats like normal - doesn't even...

Thank you so much! So appreciate your reply. Will just have to hunker down and treat them all. Chicken health cleanse!

Thank you so much! I think I should just go ahead and do all that to the flock. Appreciate you taking the time to help me.

No new hens added or close by even. No deworming. Have never needed to do that but should I? I agree on the mite treatment and we made a special dust bath for them so they can dust even though it is wet and not sunny out. Thank you. Wish me luck and cross your chicken or pigeon toes! Will...

This will be their fourth winter here from being raised as chicks in the spring of 2012 if I have that right. Thank you!

Hello all! So grateful for you all out there all these years. Today in three months I have another chicken down. None of them are egg bound. Have read my books and looked through posts. Everything seems mostly like I am playing a bad game of darts trying to nail this thing down correctly...

Now we need to find a home for both roos - very large blue cochin and a black cochin bantam. Both beautiful show worthy roos. Please consider taking them if you can!

We have a beautiful giant blue roo that is too big for us and is mean to the bantam roo we have. He needs a good home and is nice so far to us. He is 5 months old. Will send a pic to those interested. Would love a nice long-term home for him as a pet per my girls' request.

Thanks for this info! I have three chickens plucking for the first time and it is driving me crazy to see the bare spots. One (or many) plucked all her tail feathers out and now she keeps trying to put oak leaves there to replace them! They have plenty of room and roam free everyday but the...

Lots of chickens in this town! :) Cute Cute animation. Thanks for the kind welcome.
