Thank you! I'm going to try to go get everything tomorrow, I live quite a ways from anywhere that sells this stuff so I hope it works.

It's legs look straight and it's toes aren't curled (Although they do look a little curled in the picture because of how it's laying) If I went and bought save a chick vitamins and electrolytes and probiotics and added it to everyone's water do you think that wood help? If I did that, can I...

I recently bought some chicks from a local hatchery and one seems to be having some trouble. It is much smaller than the rest and seems to stumble forward when it walks. It sleeps more than everyone else but is still chirping and eating and drinking. It doesn't look like it has any deformities...

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!!

It's not safe for people at all. It's made specifically for animals. There are some animals that you aren't supposed to use it on also, but you can use it on bird as long as you dont plan to eat them. But that's why it's sold at the farm supply store and not the pharmacy, it's made for animal...

The antibiotic we used was nfz wound dressing and I really think it worked wonders, we've had a lot of luck using it on animals in the past too if you're interested. I would suggest buying gloves to apply it though because it is some serious and slightly dangerous stuff! But here's my little...

I've not personally doctored a chicken that was attacked but we did have a duck get attacked by a raccoon. Every bone in its wing was broken and all that was left was about an inch of flesh that the wing was hanging down. We had to cut the wing the rest of the way off because there was no saving...

Well I have the niacin that isn't flush free or time released so I guess I will keep feeding it to them and giving them swim time and hope things start to look better soon! :confused:Thank you for your help. Having pets is stressful! Haha

I bought niacin caplets at the store and have been breaking several open and mixing it with their food. I got my information from Metzger farms on how much to give them. It's just so weird that two of them are so healthy but the other two aren't. I've also been having then swim at least once or...

thank you for replying! I've been feeding them meat bird crumbles (as per the suggestion of the farm store) and I have been supplementing niacin every day for at least a week..

Hello! I'm looking for some advice about my little ducklings, they are approaching 2 months old and we're having some issues... We incubated some duck eggs a while back and sadly we only had 1 duckling make it out of the lot. So naturally we went to the farm store and bought 3 more ducklings so...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My husband and I got our first chickens about 5 years ago when we were in the early stages of our relationship. We picked up 5 chickens and a duck at our local farm store! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? As of right now...

Thanks so much! He and our black australorp hatched out a bunch of chicks that are pretty cool looking but they make very weird sounds! (Not like any chicken I've ever heard) so I was trying to figure out if it might be breed characteristic of something he has in him!

We got this rooster over the summer and I never have been able to find out what kind he is, does anyone have any ideas?
