    Amoxicillin and chickens

    I also reference this document linked above. Can you tell me why it says 16mg/kg, but your suggesting 125mg/kg?

    Crossbeak chick

    How is she doing? I'm happy to help. I've got a lot of experience with crossbeak chickens. I'm part of a huge community that helps them thrive. I'd recommend keeping a weight on her (grams is preferred), so that you can ascertain that she is gaining some each day. Aim for 3 crop fulls a day...

    Crossbeak chick

    Absolutely understandable. We all come from different standards and goals in raising poultry. I keep them for pets, not breeding, Eggs are bonus and byproduct. The people that I help with crossbeak care and feeding are in the same boat. It's not for everyone. A crossbeak is NOT one that...

    Crossbeak chick

    I disagree. I have had 2 crossbeak hens. They both have laid eggs, lived with a flock and other than getting separated for a few minutes a day to suppliment by hand feeding, they did all the normal other chicken things. Foraging, dust bathing, preening (though less effective) they don't know...

    Did this chicken eventually grow more feathers? I have a hen that looks very similar. Old ragged feathers, but they have never gotten better, and the tiny nubs that look like they're growing, never fully mature and grow back. wondering if this is a genetic condition, or if there is anything to...

    Has anyone tried "Waterglassing" to preserve eggs?

    Heres the container I used. the hydrated lime settled to the bottom, but didn't seem to affect anything. I used tongs to get the eggs out so I wouldn't contaminate the water.

    Has anyone tried "Waterglassing" to preserve eggs?

    Thanks for the poke to update!!!! things are going really really well. I put away 4 containers of eggs. In the beginning, I tried one or two every month. Cannot tell a difference in taste. the only spoiled ones were any with a cracked shell. I have NO floaters. They are all still sinking...

    Yes, I live in Juneau. Its a mere 10 min drive from my house. we took our most docile and people oriented chicken on a 'field trip' to the glacier. My niece wanted to to a 'photo shoot' with her. Made her a hat and scarf for the occasion. But then she learned how well chicken clothing DOESNT...

    I live here. It's only a 10 min drive from my house. We did take her on an 'outing.' She's incredibly tame, docile, and human oriented. she doesnt run off or flap when approached, so I didn't worry about getting her back.

    Rooster with multiple sores on face

    @Amelia Egghart has he been inside this whole time? or out with the rest of the flock. I'm really really impressed at his healing... and his very stoic look! thanks for posting the pics. It's great to see some amazing success stories!
