Again more great info thank you Love the picture of the bird on the scale too funny. I was watching Sydney just a couple minutes ago and saw her eat some bites of weeds and grass from around the run. Maybe she is getting hungry and feeling better?
casportpony I got the chicken dust and dewormer from TSC. Thank goodness they had what I was looking for in stock. I gave her a little over 1ML but most ended up on my hand anyways. I don't know how to get a chicken to drink from a syringe LOL I did clean up the coop as best as I can and...
WOW you guys are great Thank you for all the info. I tried to find the crop but I don't know if I did or not. Is it above the breastbone? If so I followed the esophagus down and could not feel anything. I did not smell anything either. I'm going to run and try to find some dust and the...
Thanks for the input Michael. Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by the chicken's crop? I'm by no means a chicken expert and I never heard the term before I wonder if TSC carries the Valbazen. I fear if it is something I have to order it will be too late for her if it isn't already
I used the Wazine stuff like TSC sells. I might be spelling that wrong. The symptoms started a couple days ago when I noticed she was not eating her morning treats(corn). Her comb is bright red and not droopy at all and her eyes look clear not cloudy or runny. Thanks for your input. I guess...
Sydney our 2 1/2 year old Black Australorp suddenly became ill a couple days ago. She was not eating or drinking and was moving very slow and crouching in her nest box. She also has really watery greenish stools. I'm not sure what is wrong. Any ideas? I dewormed her on the first and she is...
I went to TSC before I saw your reply. I got some poultry drench and she seems to be perked up a lot. Hope thats all it is. I guess I should deworm her anyways to be safe. Thanks for your help.
Our 2 year old rhode island red has stopped eating and now is barely drinking. About 2 days ago it seemed like she was eating less than usual. Now she just sits and barely moves. It looks like she is having just white diarrhea. The tip of her comb isn't bright red like usual more purplish...
Thanks everybody for the compliments. I was thinking about putting a roost near the back I'll see if I can dig up a piece of wood that works.
BroomFarm - Thats some real nice work on your coop.
Go easy on me I'm not good at wood crafts and my expert carpenter passed away earlier this year so I'm on my own. I didn't really make a plan just had a basic idea in my head and went from there. Used almost all free scrap wood and reclaimed screws So here it is. And my 2 questions. Does...
Paganbird - Probably a little further than I wanted to travel but thanks for the offer I'll keep it in mind.
SFF - If you could email me a picture or two that would help so I could show my wife.
We're looking to buy 2 chickens soon. I almost have the coop ready so when its done its go time. My wife really liked Barred rocks but we'd probably be open to other breeds too. Let me know what you have and where you are. Thanks!
Glad I found this site seems like a wealth of information to read through. My wife wants to get 2 hens soon so I've been busy building a coop. That's about it. Oh if anybody knows where we could find some Barred Rocks locally please contact me
