    Roosters are fighting

    One that keeps running away. We are keeping him separated from the others for now. Unfortunately I just don't have it in my heart to have him culled and processed So I guess it has come to the point that I'm going to have to find someone who is willing to take The others and do with them what...

    Roosters are fighting

    There is definitely physical contact. Usually one of them will grab another by the neck feathers and sometimes even climb on top of them like he's trying to hold the other one down. There has never been any blood. I would love to find them a good home where they could be actually used as a...

    Roosters are fighting

    So we hatched some eggs this year. One hatch was 11 chicks. We separated five of the 11 after hatching with another group that hatched shortly thereafter. That left six. One turned out to be a pullet and the other five are roosters. The five roosters were kept in a bachelor pad since we took the...

    She doesn't go out with them, she goes in a separate area.

    New layer laying every day

    She was 1 of 11 hatched. 6 were separated from the other 5. It turned out she was the only jen with 5 roosters that we chose to put in their own bachelor pad. Before we knew for sure that 5 of the 6 were roosters, they started picking on her, hanging up on her, so we brought her inside. She...

    New layer laying every day

    We hatched some chicks this year. 1st year doing so at this level. I am not sure what breed this is or if she is a mix, but she started laying a few weeks ago and has laid an egg every day. She is a house chicken that wears a diaper as does her house mate chicken, so we know it is her and only...

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    We bought the Epsom salt, but it was too late. We lost her at 3:04 pm before we had a chance to use it. 😭

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    This is what I been able to find on Amazon that can arrive the soonest, Sunday. Even though it says food grade it says do not ingest. I'm scared I'm going to give her the wrong thing and hurt/kill her, I just don't know what to trust. I want to get started on this ASAP because she is so pale.

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    She has had access to feed, worms, and grit and she has no interest in it. When you say she can have food and water in between. Flushes which would mean in between the a.m. And the p.m. flush, does that include her liquid tube feeding formula which also contains a good bit of water? And as far...

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    I can absolutely try that. Since she really won't drink on her own right now, should we tube feed her water, and should we continue with the 60ml of formula 1x daily

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    So Mae's crop has not improved. We even got her to wear the crop bra by tying it a different way. She is still showing no interest in the grit or food or worms..Her poop has turned yellow, which I read "can" be caused by not eating enough. We are tube feeding her about 60ml 1 time a day at this...

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    I read your article and it is very informative, thank you. My next question is this: She is on a liquid diet, so it always feels soft and squishy. Other than her vitamins/supplements, she doesn't get anything solid and I have never felt her crop to be hard (except for the short period of time...

    Sour Crop? Pendulous crop? Help please

    Thank you for that information. I did actually think about grit but I didn't know how I would get it in her since she won't eat and it won't go through the feeding tube. But I'll certainly put some in a bowl and see if she will eat it. It would be great if she would start eating on her own...
