    Chickens are dying since we got cows

    Is there something in Calf Grain that will kill chickens if they get too much? We've had 2 die in the past couple weeks, and another on her way out. She is having a hard time breathing almost like CRD.

    too much to handle for outlets?

    I have a insulated coop (6x8). We bought 42 chickens and 2 ducks. I want to keep the ducks seperated b/c of the mess they make so I put them into another container but still in the coop. I have a heat lamp over the chicks and one over the ducks. They are both plugged into the same outlet...

    White Spots on the comb and blood on the comb

    I really don't think you have to worry too much. Those spots could be from the others pecking on them. Maybe others have other ideas, but I wouldn't worry too much.

    Trimmed beak too far

    Quote: I've looked into everything that I could think of. The majority of the chickens are younger....less than a year old, the others will be 2 this spring. I don't think this is the problem. Their diet has 20% protein, so this is definately Not the problem We have a big shed with over 500...

    Trimmed beak too far

    Quote: She's not bleeding that bad! Wow, that probably would have scared me a lot worse

    Trimmed beak too far

    I trimmed the beak b/c all the chickens are pecking each other so bad that some are almost completely bald. We've had very cold weather and I'm surprised that none have died from it. I want to stop the pecking and i thought that trimming the beaks would be easier than putting the 'glasses' on them

    Trimmed beak too far

    I tried to trim a chicken's beak today and accidently went too far. I didn't think I was that far. Will she be ok? I tried putting the powder on it it but she just ate it off. Will she bleed to death?

    impacted or sour crop..help

    I had yogurt in her cage for quite some time, but she wouldn't touch it. I finally gave in, b/c she had gone without food for so long, gave her some water downed food and put a immuno booster in her water (she was drinking). She has passed some nasty looking poo, and she is eating like there...

    Listless and diarrhea--PLEASE respond

    It's hard to say what is going on. Mine are doing the same thing and they are going through a molt. I guess I would try some yogurt for extra protein and to up the good bugs in the system. Otherwise electrolytes? I recently bought from Mcmurray some Avia charge for extra protein and Immuno...

    "HELP" Pecking Problem

    I don't really know how to stop them from pecking...b/c I've tried everything. Mine all started at a young age, and there are still doing it. You can put blue kote on the ones that are bleeding and try an anti-pick lotion on the tail feathers, but it's not a guarantee they wont peck eachother.

    impacted or sour crop..help

    Her crop is a hard mass, but when I tip her over what does come out...liquid stinks terribly like throw up. I did try the bread and olive oil earlier in the week and she only ate a little of that.
