    Splinting a foot?

    I believe I have a hen who is recovering from Mareks (https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=184284). She's doing very well and has had a couple chiro treatments from my vet - he thought she had some nerve damage from my aggressive rooster. She appears to be comfortable and...

    Vaccinated at a day old but showing signs of Marek's at 6 mo.?

    Tootsie has an appointment with the vet this afternoon. She's perky, eating, drinking, and bright-eyed so I hope that is in our favor. Dr. E does all farm animals and if it's something he can't handle he'll send me elsewhere.

    Vaccinated at a day old but showing signs of Marek's at 6 mo.?

    Thanks so much Father! No medicated feed - started on organic chick feed and now on organic layer. And the boys have been rehomed for over 2 weeks. I'll make an appointment for her tomorrow. I did a search on here and found a thread by "ryan" and it sounded so similar. When I followed a...

    Vaccinated at a day old but showing signs of Marek's at 6 mo.?

    My hen - hatched 10/15 and vaccinated the same day - has been limping for almost 3 weeks. I had 2 roos that had been hatched with her and when hormones kicked in the boys were enthusiastic and one was a bit aggressive. I thought she sprained a toe(s) on her right foot. I originally thought...

    Guarding my hens....minus a rooster

    I just rehomed a couple roosters and now I am freaking out over my girls having a sentry. Any suggestions on what would alert them to a hawk besides a rooster or livestock guard dog? They free-range and I can't change that, come into their coop at night and take an afternoon nap in the barn...

    Quarentine & integrating flocks

    Thanks so much for the replies. I have just 5 - 4 pullets and a tiny baby roo and then the 3 girls. FWIW, we are in a deep freeze right now and it'll only get worse, or at best stay the same, temp wise until at least Mar. Coop is 8x8 wood with attached enclosed run and the older girls...

    Quarentine & integrating flocks

    I have 3 Buckeye hens - ages 2 years, 1.5 year and 11 mo. olds. Quarantine is almost over - another week to go until I hit the 30 day mark. Now I've got a new set of questions! My chicks - also Buckeyes are 12 weeks old tomorrow. I doubt I'll raise chicks in the house again - especially...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I'm in Miamisburg with a small flock of Buckeyes. I've got 3 hens from "BuckeyeDave" and they are lovely. I've got 4 pullets and a little roo upstairs that are 12 weeks old about to join the ladies outside. I'm firmly sticking with Buckeyes.

    Hen Retirement

    I'm so glad I'm not alone! I know some may think it is a waste of resources but........I don't care, they are my pets - eggs are just a bonus.

    Hawk swoops down over me repeatedly going after my girls.

    Is there a chicken weight limit that will deter hawks?

    Looking for Buckeyes in SW Ohio

    I am new here and have decided Buckeye's are the way to go for me here in SW Ohio. I was looking for a breed that could tolerate winter and be good layers. I would love a few hens as it's just my husband & I but not quite sure about the rooster! I will be doing free range with coop and...
