Ok so i been having ongoing issues. I lost a few birds and sent 2 of for necropsy, it cam back mostly inconclusive. (kidney where pale, breast tissue was depleted) some signs that they had cocci maybe but no signs that led the vet to telling me to treat for cocci. So the signs I see are pale...

if I find a bully do I segregate her out of view or in view of the others? Thanks for the info, I am going to watch close but i have a feeling the sneezing might be dust in her nose. she conveniently sneezed on my bathroom mirror 2 times and it was all just clear water fluid with some actual...

FYI, once mixing corrid fresh each day took care of the problem all are good and healthy!

So frustrated! I have two hens that are getting picked on, seemingly out of nowhere. I have been using pick no more the last 2 days I think its helping. However, one is missing more tail feathers and they got a bleeder. She just finish molting and now is getting picked on, while applying the...

You know I did change the brand of pine shavings they are still pine though didnt think about that. I havent heard them really sneeze since the other day. I think it could be because i was cleaning their run with them in it!

my flock has sneezed occasionally for some time....... well over a month they don't seem to get worse no other symptoms at all. I have been told this is not normal and to have them tested for MG.... but it seems like they would get worse or better or the situation would change in some form if...

I don't want to hurt her i tried trimming a little but i just don't know how much I can take off with out hurting her.... She is getting badly picked on and cant find the other polish so ends up by herself all the time or surrounded by the chickens that pick on her. I am about to try to...

I am tempted to put like 5 feeders in there right no so no matter what there is food and water I have 3 right now but it would be hard for them to all be guarded by a bully that way.

Well, No idea how much I should worry the little buggers are pecking at each other as well as the big girls getting them once in a while. Caught one of the little polishes chasing another little polish!

When should we know who won

I am hesitant to let them free range we have lost cats to coyote before they might be fine but it's a risk I have a fenced in garden that's about done producing but I'm still getting tomatoes otherwise have let them into the garden. I don't know how much they're getting bullied or what a lot...

would adding roosts in the run help?

I plan on adding on but dont think it will happen until next spring unless its something temporary as a set up for now. I could move a cattle pannel hoop house over there and finish off the ends then make them a door between the 2 for the moment.

run is 8x11.5 coop is 4x8 I also put a bunch of branches in their as well as hiding places.

ok, They have 3 feeder and 3 waters right now. I guess I thought i could introduce them at this age..... I had them together but not able to get to each other for 2 weeks prior to cutting small doors into the watermelon box...
