Thank you. I went with the safeguarded as it was the only option I could get ASAP. I just gave everyone their first round. As I was doing this I noticed a tumor like bump on another one of my Polish chickens neck. I just made a new post about it with pictures.
Hello again everyone. This has been a rough week. Thank you for everyone’s advice about helping my sick chicken & questions on deworming my flock. This community has been a god send. As I was deworming everyone I discovered another one of my Polish chickens has a big golf ball-sized lump on the...
Got it. I’ve read that I need to dose them for five days straight but I’ve also read only give two doses 10 days apart. Which method would you recommend?
Hello everyone, I made a post a few days ago about my Polish chicken. I thought she was on deaths door but after administering Corrid, she is starting to walk and act normal again! She is not 100% better but she has made big improvements! This morning though I found this worm in her poop (it is...
Hello everyone, this morning when I went to let out my chickens one of my young three-month-old Polish hens was lethargic, struggling/stumbling to walk, struggling to keep her head raised up, and refusing to eat or drink. Her tail is kinda in a hunched-over tuck position. She is still making...
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t Polish chickens have vaulted skulls? If one of other chickens pecked her in the coop, could a peck to the head cause her to die suddenly like this?
Thank you. Just cleaned out the bedding and there is no bloody poop. The temperature last night where I’m at was in the high 70s. Do you think it was too hot? During the day they get a fan in their run. Their run is also half shaded. I made sure the coop has a lot of ventilation covered with...
Hello everyone, I am absolutely heart broken this morning. I just got two young Polish Pullets on July9th. Suspected age orotund 7-12 weeks old. They have been in a separate run while I integrate them in my flock. This morning, Ebony (one of the Polish Pullets) was found dead in the coop. Both...
The bantams tend to stay together in one coop but I check every night to make sure one coop isn’t too crowded. They go in at about 8:40 pm and are let out at about 7:00am.
Hey everyone, I now have 23 chickens ( 7 bantams & 16 standard size) in a 10 x 40 run. That is 400 square feet so it’s a little over 17 square feet per chicken. I have two raised off the ground 4x8 coops and they only stay in the coops at night. The nesting boxes are attached on the outside of...
