    Rooster has bumblefoot

    Not sure if I am in the right area. I have not posted or asked a question here in several years. Any treatment out there that someone has used that work to treat bumblefoot? Most of the postings I have read are from a few years ago. I have read that Tricide Neo powder is used for this. Can...

    Hole in the floor of my coop

    I have had my chickens in the same coop for about 6 years. When changing their water today I found a hole chewed in the floor near the corner of the coop. The hole is situated near the side of the coop that almost touches the ground. The other side of the coop has a space of about 8 inches from...

    Only two old hens left

    Sorry, I may have misspelled. It should have been plant matter. It was dark green and fibrous. I was gone for the day and had my leaves blown out of the yard. When I cam home the whole enclosed chicken yard was full of leaves, etc. I raked immediately, but maybe he had eaten something before I...

    Only two old hens left

I only have two hens left in an 8 x 10 foot coop. One is about 6+ yrs old the other is about 5+ yrs old. I...

    Cochin hen with 2 feet of innards removed from vent.

    I have wormed my chickens. This would be the biggest freakish tapeworm I would have ever seen. I almost wish it was that! I was looking on line at chicken anatomy and it looks like the chickens oviduct. I am hoping that that is not it. Can a chicken live without an oviduct? There was no blood...

    Cochin hen with 2 feet of innards removed from vent.

    I have had terrible problems since I have aquired my chickens. I have 2 beautiful black and gold cochins. They were in with a mixed flock of barred rocks, aracaunas and comets. One of the cochins had been vent picked with a gaping bloody area around the vent. I took her out of the coop to sick...

    Free Golden cuckoo marans cockeral approx 10 mos old

    I have 2 golden cuckoo marans roosters who, until the other day, have gotten along well. This younger cockeral (who was "supposed" to be a pullet) has decided he wants to be alpha and almost killed my other one. I have only 16 hens and a smaller chicken yard, so I have decided to sell this guy...

    Poisoning by Tansy ragwort weed.

    Update. My beautiful little comet died peacefully in her sleep this morning. I went outside to check the area around the toxic plant (tansy ragwort) and I stiil found pieces of shredded leaves and small leaves from this plant that she had apparently pulled off while eating it. This plant is...

    Poisoning by Tansy ragwort weed.

    Thank you all for the replies. I saved the toxic plant link for future reference. I checked out everthing I could find regarding Mareks and the leg presentation is the only symptom showing, if it is that. I hope not. I will be disinfecting the coop again with Oxine!! No one else is showing...

    Poisoning by Tansy ragwort weed.

    I have a hen that took sick and I separated her from the flock. I di not know what was going on with her until I found an almost totally eaten plant at the corner of the house. The weather has been crazy this year and this was buried under leaves, but still producing shoots. I took some of the...

    Chickens better from Duramycin. New problem!

    Thanks to all of you that have helped in the past. Everyone is getting better from their respiratory problem and today is day seven on the Duramycin. I am also using the Oxine as a mist in the coop for them and also against any lingering virus bugs. Will continue to do so from now on, I guess...

    New coop, chickens are sick.

    UPDATE: Since starting the flock on Duramycin, everyone is doing fine. My Americauna that was really snotty and drippy is clearing up good. My rooster that was not as bad as she was is also doing better. I have checked the shavings in the coop, they are Newmans pine, I like that brand because...
