Please see previous post. I got no answers. I am trying to put all chickens together tired of having three separate pens. one is very aggressive. The old one is. Please respond as I got no responses to last post.

I should say they are all pretty much full grown. So size isn’t the problem. I just need the older hen to stop this nuts aggression behavior.

Help needed. Trying to add back in three chickens that were attacked by the others but are now healed. I reduced the flock size cuz the aggression and feed was too much. Only two in the main coop right now. In a separate temp area I am holding tower hens 4 years old with a separated holding...

Hi. I’m pretty sure what has killed off most of the flock is Mericks. If I’m left with only one chicken with Mericks is it possible to add a Mericks vaccinated chicken so the one is not lonely and by itself, without the new ones getting sick? I’m not gonna butcher the remaining one so not an...

I should say I trimmed this silkie hair on top and it’s just growing back so kinda looked like streamers. It doesn’t stand like a cockerel.

Looking for guesses on sex. Roo? Note: It’s in house cuz it’s not well but being treated.

Uhg I’m gonna have to search somewhere on here about trying to get it to stop. It goes after my dogs (attacks their heads) too. It doesn’t hurt but it is quit frustrating.

My sister says hen, it comes from here birds but I say rooster. It attacks me and is a total jerk. I hold it down and it stops temporarily attacking. I have heard no crows and it is about five monthes. Help.

It looked dead this am and now it is up again but of course with the head tilt. The other does not have a head tilt only a weak leg. I think this is a “he” which was I thought a she.

i think its more than simply a bug problem now. the other silkie is sick too. it head is wry and could only lay on side but now is eating and drinking with slight head tilt. had a big seizure. may have to have euthanzied as im starting to think this is merricks disease or some similar. they...

i did this a month ago with that treatment and then a step down treatment like it was advised.

now the other silkie is falling over and as such im really thinking this is more coccidiosis. im gonna go ahead and treat for mites with pout on ivermectin a few drops in shoulder blades as well for all the chickens just because of the head shaking. what do you think?

I have checked for bugs everywhere on it and I find none. I’ve checked a few times now. No issues with running eyes coughing sneezing nothing. :/ I am giving it nutri drench once a day started last night doing that. I thought mites but I can’t see anything. Thought about just going ahead...

Hi. I got a few silkies about two monthes ago. One died of sour crop, it was taken to vet. since then the two silkies have neverreally seemed healthy. They have bloody poop when got here so I treated for coccidiosis. They have last month been shaking head, there’s a video attached. I see...
