    worried about my 24 week EE

    Medicated Feed and Eggs

    COCCIDIOSTAT is an anti-protozoic. I am a nurse and I also thought it was an antibiotic. It is a personal choice I have made for my chickens not to have this even though it seems ok for the eggs to be eaten after your girls have eaten it. You will have to decide for yourself as for my family...

    what is happening?

    I noticed a few days ago that one of my RIR had a good amount of down sticking out of the feathers on her breast. Today she still has it along with one of my BO's but not as much, also an EE has a small amount. Is it from fighting each other. They are 20 weeks old and these three seem to be in...

    Organic Chicken Feed Recommendations?

    I am in Orlando and found a place that sells countryside in Gainesville. I am going to ask my feed store if they could order organic feed.

    What is wrong with my chicks?

    Do you think this is because they are all starting to get red combs and wattles? What should I do if this continues? I am afraid if it is Nelly then she may really hurt someones.

    What is wrong with my chicks?

    No I do not. I was thinking that it was my head girl being mean. She is one of my EE and both are fine.

    Question about what feed i should be using

    I looked today, it was not written on the bag but it was written on a tag that was attached to the bottom of the bag. I will probably try tractor supply since this seems to be the one the feed stores carry. Thank you for your help.

    Question about what feed i should be using

    I buy it at the feed store in the original packaging. What brands of feed are not medicated? Thank God for BYC because she was the one I turned to for advice. Oviously she does not understand why I have my chickens.
