    Green and yellow diarrhea

    I have a 3 yr old hen with exactly same symptoms. My vet has her on STZ antibiotic but I am not sure it’s helping. All my chickens have constant access to food and water. She just picks at her feed but she will readily eat BSF larvae. I have her isolated from the others just in case.

    What’s your opinion on Mealworms?

    Oh man. I made a mistake on brand of BSFL I use. It’s FLYGRUBS.com. I really like this company. Compare the prices. Read about the company. Really good quality.

    What’s your opinion on Mealworms?

    I toss them 1 cup of BSL every other morning when I let them out in their yard. That ends up roughly 1TBL/bird. They get a helpful amount of protein and calcium from them. They go bonkers over them too. On the off days, they get fermented grains, I just started fermenting last week. It's...

    I messed up.

    I’m sick about this but when collecting eggs last night, I brought in 2 marked eggs that are due to hatch in a week. They’ve been sitting on the counter room temp until I got home from work and checked the hens only to find broody only had one marked egg not 3. I put them back under her...

    Advice on treating the face of a "Biter"

    When I had 2 younger roosters who were fighting for cock-of -the- walk, one of them ended up getting all bloodied on his wattle and neck. I couldn't even catch him. He was pretty aggressive toward me (that's another story) but he needed to be treated so I waited until they were well roosted...

    Dominant too vs the other guy.

    Ok. Thanks. If I made a 2’x6’ cafe out of an old table and 1/2” hardware cloth, could I keep them together? They understand their pecking order.
