    Hen possibly attacked...

    I'm not sure exactly how old the wound was... We haven't seen the raccoon (or had any other problems) in a month since we got the new Roo. Not sure what did it!

    New owners chicken bullying issues. Help and advice, please.

    Not sure if you have blukote, but if you do I would try that! It helps to hide the areas where she has been pecked, and the others may not notice it as much. also I would quarantine her for now, still to where they can see her, but keep her separate from the rest of the flock until she heals.

    Hen possibly attacked...

    Thanks DrGlennon, I hope so too! I put her in the bathtub with a blanket for now with the mash and water. She seems to have eaten some!

    Hen possibly attacked...

    Noticed my hen acting a little funny last night but I figured she may be tired. (it was late when I got off work and checked the coop) She was freeranging and didnt go into the coop that night. I came home from work the next day and that is when I noticed she was back, but acting different. Went...

    Hey Everyone! I want to add in on this :) Obviously I am not going to read through 718 pages :P Although I did go through about 400! Needless to say thanks to this post I was confident in starting my own mealworm farm! I work at Petsmart, so I brought some mealworms home from work and got it...

    Sexing baby chicks

    The two gold ones look like my Golden comets. The white one looks like a white leghorn to me.

    Very tired 11 week OEGB

    At 11 weeks old they should be up and moving around. She should not be sleeping all the time. How is her poop? is it runny? I would isolate her and keep an eye on her. Notice any other odd behavior from her? You can try feeding mealworms, or scrambled egg that may perk her up a bit!

    lethargic again

    There are plenty of people on here who have done surgery on their own chickens... If you can stomach that sort of thing! Look up threads for eggbound hens or egg peritonitus.

    3 days on Corid and they are still dying...15 days old all but 2 and they sick

    Locate the crop and massage it a bit, if you feel something hard or if its full and does not empty after you massage it, it may be blocked. You can use either coconut oil or olive oil with a syringe and give it to the chick, then massage the crop. This works very well and seems to help a lot...

    Chick with injured leg

    Just curious as to how she is doing now! She may have had something stuck in her foot, since everything seems to be going well!

    New, with a rescue! Please advise and help!

    I have done both. Recently we had some problems with our older hens not accepting the younger ones. So we split the coop in half with chicken wire, put a waterer and feeder on each side. They could all see each other, but the older ones could not get to the younger ones. This worked out...

    Help!

    Put the Corid in the waterer and treat ALL the chickens. It wont hurt them if they don't have them, it can only help them. Change out their water daily for 5 days with the Corid, I would also give some mash, and make some scrambled eggs for the girls as well. Mealworms is always a great choice!

    Comment by 'dragonbabyx3' in article 'How To Raise Mealworms'

    By the way Gallo del Cielo, This is a great article! after paying 7.00 for a bag of dried mealworms I decided that it would be easier to grow my own. I am going to start off with 100, and then I will see about ordering bulk! Thank you for all the awesome advice!
