    Little to no growth after pox

    I think I had fowl pox run through my flock a while back. Some had pustules on their combs and had slight drainage from nostrils and the worst one had bubbly eyes. The worst one has not grown at all since it’s run it’s course. She still gets along just fine. Acts like all my other chickens. But...

    Coccidiosis in 2 week chicks

    They are doing a little better today. I did lose two overnight and there are two more that look iffy. I have increased the dosage for severe outbreak. One is still very hunched and lethargic but has kinda perked up a little and is drinking but not eating much. The others are still pretty active...

    Coccidiosis in 2 week chicks

    Chicken Breed Focus - Brahma

    Chicken Breed Focus - Brahma

    I just got 9 light Brahmas. They range in age from 1-5 weeks. I love that they have boots and that they are a large breed. Some of the Brahmas are mixed with a silver Wyandotte’s, giving them more grey feathers in the body rather than just black points at the tail and neck. I’m excited to have...

    What happens when

    I have a silkie hen. She is on her own right now but I’m thinking of integrating her into my existing flock of 1 rooster and two hens. They’re barnyard mixes and not fully mature, meaning the hens have not started laying yet and the roo is only the start of some spurs. what I need to know is...

    My duck has a drooping wing, any advice please?

    I’m not sure about the wing situation but I had a duck go off her leg one day as well. She would just lay around most of th day. She couldn’t get to her water and good easily and she was starting to get weak. I ended up splinting the bad leg for a few days with a popsicle stick and some bandage...

    Officially on lockdown

    We are officially in lockdown. This is so exciting. I candles them and marked the largest part of the air sac and placed them with that side up. They are wiggling and chirping!! These are nine eggs I got from my flock that I lost to a predator a few weeks ago. I’m so glad I was able to get an...
