    Hard boiled duck eggs?

    It's best to wait two to three weeks before boiling any farm fresh eggs so that they are easier to peel. I tell this to everyone buying chicken, or ducks from me.

    A Warning about C and C Hatchery in Queen Creek AZ

    Did you get a receipt from purchasing the chickens from him? If not, do you have proof that you bought the chickens from him. Like an email? You can have the Arizona department of agriculture test them for a disease free of charge. They will take blood samples and the results will take a few...

    Hen with Vent Infection??

    I wasn't familiar with it either. You can only get it through a prescription from the vet. Is there another option for tapeworms that is cheaper and obtained over the counter?

    Hen with Vent Infection??

    I took her to the vet and they did a fecal exam. She has tape worms and a sinus infection... I don't know how she got tape worms, but I have been doing a lot of research on this and apparently there is no way of preventing this with a backyard free ranged flock. They get it from the bugs they...

    Hen with Vent Infection??

    She does not have diarrhea, but her vent seems constantly moist and goosing a little. I cut away the feathers from her vent while I was cleaning her the first time as well as the other chickens thinking that this would help but it did not. The droppings are still sticking, but they do not have...

    Hen with Vent Infection??

    I have been giving them DE in their food, which is supposed to help with the worms, but not all types. I sent a fecal exam in the vets office on a different hen several weeks ago for a different issue, and it came back negative for worms, but that doesn't mean that the others don't have worms...

I have tried looking this up but I didn't...

I can get her started on wormer, but how do I get her weight back up? She doesn't seem to be eating anything at all and my other 30 chickens seem perfectly fine. I...

    Help! I think my frizzled hen has a skin disease.

    Recently my young Frizzled Cochin bantam hen has been acting very week but not lethargic. It seems her muscles might be in slight pain. I separated her from the flock thinking that she might have hurt her leg somehow, because she was slightly limping. Well, I gave her a bath today, thinking this...
