Little backstory: I recently rescued a mama hen and her 6 babies from a neglect case.
The mom is very aggressive and and protective of her little ones and I have been working to ease her trust towards me so I can handle her chicks. I have been keeping an eye on this one specifically I haven’t...
Ill have to check... shes pretty booked up nowadays I was lucky I got in because you know shes super professtional and all that but you seem pretty nice so ill put in a good word for ya and see what she can do :p
in my like 3-ish years of having chickens, it was always a mixed bag sometimes its breed (for me Barred rocks or speckled sussex are the friendliest) sometimes it's personality. but I saw a post that said as chicks let them climb all over you and I can completely vouch for that but it also...
In these comments, I feel like a little bit of a black sheep because I have never hatched my own chicks all of mine are ordered online or bought from my local farm store. And I try REALLY hard to find all the roosters I end up with homes even if it means they get eaten but that's not my...
Hey Guys!
I'm currently trying to downsize and I have had terrible luck with getting roosters this year if anyone is willing to take 3 roosters together OR separately I am in the southern Vermont area but I am willing to drive if you are slightly farther away. so please let me introduce you to...
Oh wow there’s even more to learn it seems! Well luckily her poop actually looks fairly normal? I don’t have any examples sadly but it’s just a muddy brown sometimes solid sometimes muddy liquidy no real pattern I’ve seen no blood or anything intense. So I don’t think it’s that but as for...
I am so sorry for your loss! Unfortunately I think my little girl is going to go down the same way it’s always a mystery why something’s work and other don’t. I think what I’m going to do is just let her be with her chick family until she departs she’s a lot happier with them and I don’t want...
So I have been trying the medicine miconazole for the last 3-4 days I have done it day and night and she still has not improved nor has the crop gone down. She is very skinny and weak and barely does anything but sleep. Do you believe there is still hope for her or do you believe I should look...
She is still fighting which I’m grateful for but learning all this has certainly made me way more conscious about my chickens feed. I’m hoping she gets better but it’s still a toss up thank you for all your advise!
Thank you for letting me know!
Unfortunately at this time despite my best efforts she is declining although I have ordered the medication I believe it won’t be here in time. also yes I think she did have moldy food because of an accident. It had been raining up here non-stop cat and dogs in...
that was a really good article thank you for sending it to me! I just ordered some of the cream it said to use for the chick I hope she's okay until it comes which is in two days. She already hasn't had anything to eat for 24hrs but I'm just worried about how long she can last should I try and...
Hello!
I have a couple old month old pullet (I think its pullet I'm not sure yet)
which has had a sour crop for a few days now.
I had never experienced this in my flock for the 3 or so years I have been raising chickens so this came as a surprise to me. I believe it is sour crop because her...
