    15 wk legbar wheezing hasn’t eaten or drank

    We have 2 chickens doing almost the same thing since this past Saturday! But we just got these chickens about a week ago. Would you please post an update if the antibiotics help; we don't know what we are doing here.

    Help - is my chicken sick?

    We changed the bedding on Saturday, after we noticed they were not well. The coop is well ventilated and the run is totally open. Water access is great, one of them was drinking better yesterday and today. We saw a couple of droppings that were bloody until we started the corid treatment and...

    Help - is my chicken sick?

    The two sick ones were shaking their heads a lot the first day or two but less so today. I don't know their history - they are 16 week old pullets that we got from a reputable feed-type place. They do act like they have never really been handled by humans before, very skiddish.

    We can't really do a vet...pretty sure we don't have anyone in our area that would do chickens either. Where do you get this medicine? Do you have to go to a vet?

    Help - is my chicken sick?

    Thank you so much for responding. The chickens are the same. :( Maybe one of them is 10% better. We have had a vertical learning curve, so we did not know we needed to have anything prepared to separate sick chickens. But I am working on building something today. But it really is only big...

    Safe- Guard how often - confused!

    Is the Safe-Guard dosage one dose and then another in 10 days OR one dose every day for five days? We are trying to treat for suspected gapeworm.

    Help - is my chicken sick?

    Hi, thanks for reading. We are on day 8 totally new to chickens. We have pullets who are now about 16 weeks old. First one, now two, are acting very weird. Not really eating/drinking, laying in shade, lethargic. I took a video of one of our girls but I can't get it to load here. Basically...

    Here are pics of our set-up. 6315: picture of the whole thing 6316: the ramp going up to the coop. admit it is a little steep but it has lots of steps. 6317: inside the already poopy coop. We have a cinderblock in there hopefully only temporarily because we thought the roost was pretty high...

    I will post pictures in a little while. Also we were told 2-3 sq ft per chicken in the coop! So I thought we were good at 2.6 sq ft per bird. The lady we got the coop from had 8 birds in the coop, which I thought sounded tight. It was why we added additional run space to her design also...
