    10 Week Old Chick's Dying

    I should add that technically they weren't all 10 weeks old when they died. They're about 10 weeks old now.

    10 Week Old Chick's Dying

    Okay so I have a batch of chicks. Some RIR's, Brahmas, Ameraucanas and a White Leghorn. We got them from two different places as one supplier suddenly was out of RIR'S we had requested and paid for. A Light Brahma, Dark Brahma, two Ameraucanas, a RIR and the White Leghorn have all died...

    Neomycin Sulphate

    Can anyone tell me the withdrawal period (or waiting period) for human consumption of eggs after giving Neomycin Sulphate to chickens by mixing it in with their water? We were advised by a friend and also our local feed store to mix it in with their water since our rooster seemed to have a...

    Hens ~ Blood Smear on Eggs

    As for the hens, the appearance change is that their backs are starting to loose feathers and look all puffed up. They feel underneath like they're full of liquid. This definitely doesn't just look like a hen with a bloody beak that's going around and bloodying other hens. They have runny...

    Hens ~ Blood Smear on Eggs

    As for the rooster. Thanks for the advice. He's been sneezing a lot and his crow hasn't been that big beautiful bold crow that it always was these past two years.

    Hens ~ Blood Smear on Eggs

    Over the past few days I've noticed that a couple of our hens (Ameraucanas) had some blood smear on their eggs. It seems like this all started around the same time. We lost one last evening when we went out to take care of them. This hen had lost some feathers on her back above the behind...

    Baby Chickens - Bleeding from Bottoms

    How can you get Blue Kote off? I thought it was pretty permanent until it wears off? Kind of like permanent ink.

    Baby Chickens - Bleeding from Bottoms

    Should I be trying to fix the prolapse even though it has Blue Kote all over it? How long do I have to fix the prolapse or will they definitely die if I don't fix it soon? They all appear to be fine. Walking around... eating and drinking.

    Also, I sprayed the prolapse with Blue Kote... I hope that didn't harm them! Ugh now I really feel bad.

    Baby Chickens - Bleeding from Bottoms

    I just looked up what a prolapsed vent is and now I see that MANY of them have prolapsed vents... What does this mean? They were all normal a couple days ago.

    Baby Chickens - Bleeding from Bottoms

    I have baby chickens (around 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 weeks old). Have 12 Rhode Island Reds and 5 Ameraucanas. They're all in one of those ring kits that has the PVC piping for the light over top of it and the plastic walls. They've been doing really well since we got them and when we came out today, my...

    Is My Rooster Really Blind? What Should I Do?

    So I've had an Ameraucana Rooster for a year. Shortly after we got him he started to act almost dizzy. He would favor his right side vision. In other words... he would walk around the coop with his right side facing the wall at all time. Like his left eye didn't help direct him. He started...
