    Duramycin-10 Help!

    I'm treating all my chickens in the coop with Duramycin-10 because a couple of them have bubbly eyes. So I have questions. #1. How much per gallon? I don't want to over medicate. #2. I've got three chicks in the house, should I go ahead and medicate them? Would it be too powerful for them? I...

    Bubbly, Swollen Eye

    One of our hens, a Rhode Island Red named Scarlett, has gotten a swollen, watery (almost bubbly) eye. The other eye is bubbly as well, but not really swollen. She seemed to be getting along ok today but definitely seemed a bit less active. Tonight, when I went out to check on her, she was on...

    Coccidia or Intestinal Lining?

    According to a "poop chart" I saw, I thought it looked like intestinal lining too, but she did it again a few minutes ago. Is it normal for them to pass intestinal lining so close together? She's eating, drinking and walking around. Sorry, it's gross but I want to make sure she's OK!

    Coccidia or Intestinal Lining?

    I brought 6 chickens home today. Four are very young and two are two-three months old, fully feathered but young. I've got those two in a cage desperate from the young ones and one of them (a golden laced Polish, which I got to show) pooped blood. She and the other hen she's with are also not...

    Chicken Breeders in Indiana?

    I'm a 4-Her looking for some chicks to raise and show at the fair this year. I currently only have 5 chickens and they're older now and aren't really show quality. I had some chicks on order from a local breeder, but unfortunately, there has been a delay in the availability (long story) so now...

    How to Make a Splint?

    One of our Rhode Island Reds, "Miss Cluck", is limping and can't walk well at all. She has lived the last couple of years with almost no toenails (her feet bled and they fell out) but she has always walked just fine. We're not sure what happened to her. However, when I was getting hay for the...

    Chicken Has Swollen Foot and Toenail is Falling Off?

    One of our Rhode Island Reds has swollen feet that are not getting better.... it's getting worse! Her toenail is actually falling off. Have no idea what is causing it or how to fix it. Does anybody know what it is, how to fix it and if it's contagious?

    Where Can I Get Black Silkies?

    I want a Black Silkie but it HAS to be a hen and I have to be able to order only a couple of that kind. What hatchery can you suggest? McMurray only has straight run Silkies.

    Can Chickens Have Cabbage or Potato Skins?

    Someone told me my chickens shouldn't have cabbage or potato skins. Is this true or is it safe to go ahead and give them the scraps? Thanks!

    Funny chicken names

    Mine (the ones that are named) are named after "Gone With the Wind" characters. The rooster I used to have was Rhett Butler. Scarlett O'Hara and Pitty Pat are going to a show tomorrow along with a couple others. The only chicken not named after Gone with the Wind is Miss Cluck!
