    Deworming

    Thank you for all this information it’s very helpful and reassuring knowing this is somewhat “normal”. I’ve just never had to do it. I didn’t see any worms this morning on the roosts or any of the poop and I do know they are drinking the medicated water. Thank goodness. I’ll report back after 5...

    Deworming

    Thank you so much. This is very helpful. Yes that’s what it looked like but only maybe 2-3 worms if that but still enough to freak me out. Thank you. I’ll have to weigh my chickies and dose them. Thank you. Would it be best to just do 5 days in a row to ensure all the worms are gone in case...

    Deworming

    This morning there were long narrow worms in poop on roost. I don’t know who is came from. I also have the safeguard liquid dewormer for goats but how do I dose that? I’d prefer to do that for sure because these chickens clearly do not like the treated water it seems.

    Deworming

    I did two bowls of medicated water since we have one chicken that’s not as mobile as the rest so she needs to have easier access to the water. Will replace tmrw morning with fresh meds/water and See how this goes.

    Deworming

    First time I’ve ever had to deworm my chickens. I got aquasol and did the correct dosage in the water but do I also offer fresh water with no medicine in it?

    Playing broody?

    I finally got her to stop. The recommendation about separating her from the rest and keeping her out of the nesting boxes for 48’hours worked!! She’s back to being normal lol

    Playing broody?

    Thank you so much for this suggestion. I’ll try anything. I’m just worried about her health mostly and also she’s super neurotic about the nesting boxes so I gotta get her moving! Thank you again.

    Playing broody?

    My year old black sex link is full on broody and relentless. We’ve dipped her in cool water for 5-10 minutes and tried frozen water bottles under her too and nothing seems to work. Her belly feathers are all but gone. At least she’s not a jerk when I shop her out of the nesting boxes. What do I...

    Egg shells appear to be thinning

    We have one out of 4 chickens that’s laying super thin eggs. Lately that egg is usually broken. Today I found it and can’t believe it’s not broken. It’s beyond thin. We give them oyster shells in their food and treats often. So odd.

    Can a dog and chickens safely coexist in a small backyard?

    We have 3 dogs and 4 chickens and there are no issues whatsoever. Our chickens free range mostly and we have a large dog who goes in and out to do his business and the chickens will either ignore him or go watch him do his business. It’s hilarious. We have two smaller dogs. One is terrified of...

    Chicken searching for her egg

    We put the fake eggs in the coop and it seems to have worked. Now we just have one chicken that seems a little lethargic but maybe she’s just tired. Who knows.

    Chicken searching for her egg

    It’s really interesting for sure to watch this whole situation play out. We are new to chickens so this is the first time we have experienced this. They sure do have quite the personalities. We have 4 but only 3 layers right now. I think our buff Orpington is just about to lay though. We shall...

    Chicken searching for her egg

    Ok so strange. I did put the egg back for a little while. I’m can only assume a different chicken climbed up onto the couch where I put the egg and laid her egg there too. What the heck?!?!? Ordered some ceramic eggs in hopes that I can deter this spot as an egg laying spot and they go back to...
