    What To Feed Male Chickens?

    Thank you for you're reply! I think i'll try this out. Unfortunately I can't seem to find ''All Flock Feed'' or ''Raiser Feed'' online anywhere in the UK. I'm going to go to the local Animal Feed shop and find out if they do anything like that. Otherwise I'll try and get these guy's off the...

    What To Feed Male Chickens?

    Yeah I think it's called a "Scratch Mix". I've taken a picture to show you. I also have just grains without the Corn which I can feed him but I don't know if he'll eat them.. At the moment I can give him 1 of 3 things, The Layer Pellets, Scratch Mix or the Brown Grains. I don't know if the Pet...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    Thank you, she is a fluffy beauty when she has all her feathers. I hope it's nothing serious but I'm sceptical... she still has diahorria and she's still acting tired. She's sat in the Coop and keeps closing her eyes. She goes in the Coop during the day normally but she's never fallen asleep or...

    What To Feed Male Chickens?

    Hi I've been feeding my Chickens (1 Hen + 1 Rooster/Cockerel) Mixed Corn Feed for the past year that I've had them.. Well actually I had them on Layers Mash in the very beginning which finished and then I got the Corn Feed. Now I read you're NOT supposed to feed them Mixed Corn as it should be...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    I took some pictures but she looks pretty fine physically I think? Today I gave her Wet Feed, Layer Pellets crushed in water which she ate a good amount of and also the Vitamin Water. I left her a good amount in the feeder before I went to work and when I came back a lot of it had been eaten...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    Thank you once again for you're time and the information you've provided. Just 1 thing I noticed. My Hen started acting unwell pretty much after we were moving some things out of the house into the back garden. Mostly some carpets and old vacuums as such but I tried to make sure everything was...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    I'm such an idiot... I've been giving her more of the Corn Mixture instead of the Laying Pellets over the past year. What about the Male Chickens, should they eat the Laying Pellets too or something else??? This might be all my fault... the result of not giving her the right food. I was...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    Thank you so much! I'll try that tomorrow then, I usually give her Layers Pellets or a mixture of Grains and Corn. Shall i crush the feed's first before adding in the water??

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    Thank you very much for you're reply, I appreciate it greatly. I'm not entirely to sure how old she is.. Maybe 2-3 years old??? She completely stopped laying eggs probably 4-5 months ago. I believed it may have been Coccidiosis so I ordered this to give to her once it arrives...

    Letharigic Sick Hen...

    Hi I'm in need of some help. My Buff Orpington Hen hasn't been well for the past few days... she's been eating very little and acting very tired and lethargic. She will stand around and close her eyes when usually she would be foraging and poking around. It also seems like she has diarrhea...

    Chickens Sneezing Due To Diatomaceous Earth?

    Yeah that sounds pretty bad... They were perfectly normal and healthy until i decided to cover the inside of their Coop with DE so it must be that??? I'll wait a few days and see if there is any improvement.. I did clean outside of their nostrils too to see if that helped but maybe i should...

    Chickens Sneezing Due To Diatomaceous Earth?

    Hi I was cleaning out my coop a few weeks ago and noticed small black specks moving around in 1 of the corners. I took all the existing bedding out, washed the Coop and decided to add quite a A LOT of DE Power all over the inside just in case especially in the corners and in the fresh bedding...

    Hen's Eye Swollen Shut

    Thank you so much for you're help! I cleared out the eye 3 times today with the Saline at different hours and each time she seemed to be opening her eye more and more, she's still closing it but leaving it open more longer. I will get the Ointment tomorrow, hopefully the pharmacy has 1 of...
