    Yolk laying hen

    I’m in Australia The label on the grain mix says 14.5% protein. Even though the others are all doing fine I get the feeling I should be swapping to pellets?

    Yolk laying hen

    Thanks for the advice. Is there a recommended dosage for the calcium citrate with D? I only have calcium carbonate + D on hand would that be okay? I'm feeding them a grain mix which does have admittedly sub par calcium in it which is why I have been mixing in the sea shell grit in and offering...

    Yolk laying hen

    Hi, I have a hen at the moment who I cannot get to stop laying yolks. I have a flock of 5 and the other 4 are perfectly happy and laying normal. They have all been wormed recently and I mix grit with their feed and also give them crushed egg shells that have been through the oven as a treat...

    Post crop impaction recovery/poop assistance

    Hello everyone, I have a Wyandotte that I have recently helped clear a horribly impacted crop of a grass blockage. It took 3 days of oil by crop needle followed with 15 minutes of massage to break it down. I was very late to notice and feel horrible because I didn’t think she was going to...

    Austrolorp sexing

    Little update for 2 weeks later. Still haven’t seen the Austrolorps partake in the young male shenanigans. Combs don’t seem to have darkened. I’m coping a bit that maybe that indicates pullets but in others experience are they still looking like cockerels? Between 7-8 weeks Number 1 Number 2...

    Hen that won’t lay

    Thanks for all the replies. I’ll break down my answers 😊 I have a very small flock of 4 and spend most of my weekends in the backyard with them. My other 3 will up and leave me when they go lay eggs then sing as loud as they can. I’ve never got more than the 3 eggs a day with the others being...

    Hen that won’t lay

    Hi all. I have a 1 year old Wyandotte that seems to have no interest at all in laying and I’m not sure why. I got her from a friend when she was still a pullet but all of her siblings have been laying for months. My other hens(Orpingtons and wyandottes) lay consistently and all do the naughty...

    Swollen sinus turned swollen eye

    Thanks for the tip on oxymav I found a local pet store that sold it. Unfortunately while I was checking her over tonight I think I found the real culprit of all of her health issues currently. On the side of her neck near the base is a lump about the size of a walnut. Half of it is rather solid...

    Swollen sinus turned swollen eye

    Sorry for the delayed response. No pus from what I could find, I had a gentle feel to see if anything would show but nothing. No bad smells either. I’m in Australia so Tylosin is a prescription only product here. Looks like I’ll be heading back to the vet and seeing if they will prescribe that...

    Swollen sinus turned swollen eye

    Hi, Looking for some advice on a sick chicken again unfortunately. One of my chickens developed a lump in her sinus about a month ago. Looking through this forum I quickly found that it was a sinus infection which was great and I thank everyone for that! Being in AUS I couldn’t find anywhere...

    Neurological issues

    I’ll have a look through YouTube for some more videos 🙂 Is there a usual timeline I should expect to see changes if it is an issue with vitamins now that I’m dosing her? Very recently. 3 days ago, hasn’t got any worse or better since then.
