    4 weeks of extreme symptoms, please help!

    After searching the forums for hours for symptoms similar to what my Easter Egger has, I am beyond confused. These symptoms seem pretty common with sick birds, but I have yet to read about a bird that has a combination of all of these (or lack of symptoms), yet still eats and drinks normally. I...

    Door size????

    I stumbled across your post while using the search function to answer that very question myself. From all the threads I have come across, it seems 12x18 or 12x12 are pretty popular. I guess at 12x12, the bigger breeds and roosters have to duck their heads to get in, but they dont mind doing it...

    Scaly Leg Mites - Need Best / Easiest / Quickest Solution - Scaley

    Fish oil is not the main ingredient in WD-40, in fact, it has ZERO fish oil in it. WD-40 is a blend of lubricants (dino and synthetic), anti corrosion agents, penetrators and cleaning solvents. I REALLY dont think this stuff should be used on chickens. A lot of myths have been floating around...

    UPDATE****WEEK OLD WITH WING DEGLOVED

    You are on a forum filled with people that love chickens, and dont condone inhumane practices. Some folks on here raise them for meat, others for eggs, and some just as companion animals, or perhaps for all three, but I guarantee you that almost all, if not all, kill their meat birds humanely...

    Fox The Predator - Neighbor The Pest

    probably a .22 if its just a pop. Foxes are definitely sly animals. Camo would help (he could even just cover himself with some big burlap sacks fro. a coffee shop). there are also predator calls you can buy that will help bring them in, and they can be had for less than 20 bucks. As for bait...

    Ivermectin and Corrid at the same time?

    I wont re list the history of symptoms as I have already done so in another thread. My question now is, chickens were treated with wazine a week ago. Sunday will be day 10, and I was planning on treating with ivermectin to complete the deworming regimine. However, now its looking like it could...

    EE poop so clear I thought it was thrown up water! Help!

    I have been suspecting cocci, but not a single trace of blood in any poo i can find (and i have found lots). I also read about watery/runny poo in the heat, and have seen what it does to them about two weeks ago when it got into the high 90s, browinish green, but liquified. This, however, has...

    EE poop so clear I thought it was thrown up water! Help!

    So I already described her symptoms in this thread below, but after posting, I went back outside and found two clear puddles with a tiny bit of feed in them and almost assumed someone threw up water and feed, then I watched my EE poop something identical, with slightly more feed in it, but it...

    EE Feathers all over the place and runny, inconsistent poop

    My 13 week old EE is dropping feathers like crazy, yet she has no bald spots. She eats, drinks, acts completely normal, but as the picture below will show, feathers are a flying. Her poop has been inconsitent as well, normal, then green runny, then white watery, then normal again, then browinish...

    Nest box to hen ratio for 3 hens in a 4'x4' coop

    Afternoon folks, I am in the process of building my coop and can't decide if I should add one or two nest boxes. I keep reading about how so many people's chickens all use the same one, and the others go unused, but I was wondering if I should have an extra nest box just in case. Again, 4 foot...
