    Worming with Safeguard Goat Wormer

    I know this is a random reply to a very old post, but I am just very overwhelmed by all the different things that I’m reading and you seem to be a good, dependable source of knowledge here. I noticed round worms in some poop in my chicken coop. In years past, I have treated with ivermectin, but...

    Prolapse Vent

    Hi, I know this is an older post and I'm jumping on somebody else's, but I'm having the same issue. I also have a bantam that's about a year and a half old with a vent prolapse. Not sure why she prolapsed, there doesn't seem to be any egg in there. She's been in the house for about a week...

    First time dealing with a Broody hen

    I finally have my first broody hen after 3 years with chickens! I'm so excited! I would like to follow your experience so I hope you post updates. :) My girl has been acting kind of like she wanted to be broody for the past week, but it wasn't until today that she seemed to decide for sure. She...

    14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    So, I only got to candle three of them before realizing that the one was pipped and their cells looked about right for them. I took the sponge out, which didn't even feel wet anymore, but the humidity looks like it's staying around 66%. The first pippers hole was already looking brown and dried...

    14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I put my eggs into lockdown this afternoon. I was candling them one last time and heard peeping and the egg I was holding was pipped already!! I had a panic attack and quickly got everyone back inside without the turner, added my sponge and water and now my humidity is too high!! Hovering around...

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    Ohh okay. Thank you! I'm actually on his list to get a few chicks around 04/02. I didn't see Spitzhauben on his list anywhere or I would have inquired about those!

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    You have a Spitzhauben?? I'd love one!! My friend has one, but says she can't distinguish the eggs from others unless catching her in the box. Where are you located? I'm in eastern PA in Royersford.

    Hen with watery eyes

    Thank you. No, vet care isn't an option. If I were to try and give her Tylan, how much would I give? I saw somewhere 0.5cc, does that sound right? I've never done an injection before either, so super nervous about that. :l

    Hen with watery eyes

    So, July 16th we took in a friend's 11 hens because she's moving and can't take them with her. They were all perfectly healthy. A day or two later, I noticed one had pretty watery eyes so I asked her if that had ever happened before and she said yes. She showed me a picture where it had gotten...

    HELP! Broken egg inside hen!! She's really sick.

    I know this last post was years ago, but just in case anyone with knowledge sees it, I'm going to try anyway. I have a hen that was acting a little sluggish and hanging by the front porch a lot even while the rest of the flock was walking around the yard. I went outside a bit later and there was...
