What strength did the vet recommend as I was going to open a capsule and mix with food

I have my first chicken with ascites (water belly) and do I want to drain it or put her down. I’m conflicted. Husband can’t bear the thought of holding her if I drain the belly.

Love the chicken run! I can’t build but have to convince my husband to extend the run!

I didn’t know that.

I wish I had kept one of my roosters because he was so smart and friendly. I have 10 hens and they are enclosed in a fenced area... so far no predators and I have had them 3 years.

I have 2 Swedish flower hens that are crested. Then I have 2 without the crested head (younger than the crested hens ). but so much larger than the older hens! And the size of their feet , large!

Great article

Beautiful picture!

Same terrible thing happened with my two broody hens after I tried to move them to a separate area as the main coop is up off the ground and I thought the chicks would fall off down the gangplank.

Great help!

I have a broody hen due April 1st. I haven’t been able to get her off the nest to check or candle the eggs. Should I just leave her be?

Very helpful as I have my first broody hen sitting on some eggs in a far corner of the coop and not in the nest box. The bossy hen I have probably wouldn’t let her sit in the nest box so she found another place out of reach of my “egg collecting hand”. “

Does she have chickens?

I’ve met a few people who like chickens and we meet for coffee and share chicken stories!
