    Lethargic, pale comb and one eye not opening

    When a bird is like that they are hard to treat. You need a vet. If no vet you can try things like crushed hard boiled egg with pro-biotics and electrolytes mixed in for food. If not eating and drinking its not good. You could try metranidazole down the mouth with shringe.

    Everyone died??!!

    Never get birds from another person. Always buy from a trusted source like a tac n feed store or farm store whose birds come from vetted hatcheries. You can contaminate and kill all birds and dirt in your yard for years. Ask me how I know that.

    What's wrong with this chicken?? Barking like a dog

    Mine a few years ago did that. They had Mycoplasma Gallisepticum and half died. Look for bubbles in the eyes.

    How long can a wooden chick coop stay "infected" with anything/everything?

    We have a chick coop that is 4x8x3ft. We use it every 3 years to raise our chicks to full feather age. Last summer I am pretty sure one of our turkeys had backhead and we isolated the turkey in the chick coop and it dies the next day. That was at least six months ago and a cold winter. Outside...

    Safe-Guard Fenbendazole Goat Dewormer Liquid Dosage For Chickens. Having trouble right now

    What breeds lay during winter with NO additional light source?

    When we first started with chickens(black sex-links, red sex-links, barred rocks) we got 1yr old "used" chickens off craigs, it was a sweet-n-sour experience. The chickens laid all winter and gave us a ton of eggs without artificial light. The bad was they came with leg mites and we never could...

    Heavy snow, bored chickens, now feather pecking each other

    My whole coop-run if full of snow. I snow shoveled some walking areas for them but its not enough. They have no ground to scratch and peck (frozen) and they hate walking in deep snow. I cleared some walking areas that are maybe 2' x 20' (2). Thats the best I can do. There is no free range area...
