I was hoping to attend the poultry fest but, we live in Oakland County and it's really too far. Anybody around my area willing to sell a few bantam hens hatched this past...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Hi fellow Michiganders, I have two bantam roosters looking for a new home: a red/brown Cochin rooster and a black frizzle rooster both about 4 months old. We live in a neighborhood and can't keep a rooster. They are both beautifully feathered and very tame. They would make a wonderful addition...

    My chicken has chipped off part of her upper beak!

    Yep, that would help. But you could also give hand feed her a meal or two a day and she would probably do fine. Yes, you'll have to change out the mash regularly to keep it from spoiling. Good luck with her, I hope her beak grows quickly!

    All but one chicken died!

    So sorry this had to happen to you while you were chicken sitting! It's very unusual to all of them to died at the same time. Maybe you better ask a local veterinary to look into their cause of death as many viruses can wipe out a flock. Good Luck.

    My chicken has chipped off part of her upper beak!

    Yes, her beak will grow back! You should watch her the next few weeks to make sure the other chickens are not pecking on her. Also, add some water to her food to make a mash would help her eat. Because her top beak is now shorter, she will have a hard time picking food up from the ground or...

    New to the chicken world- sick hen-please help

    It sounds like you are really trying. I'm not really familiar with worming products and chickens. You could call a local vet to do a fecal sample and look for parasites. Even if they don't normally treat birds a knowledgeable technician would be able to identify if parasites were present. As for...

    New to the chicken world- sick hen-please help

    Sometimes it helps to take a sick hen outside in the garden and dig up a few worms. Also, try taking her by the other hens to eat. Maybe if she can see the other hens eating, she will too. Did you try feeding her bread? My chickens usually go crazy for pieces of bread out of my hand. Glad she is...
