Looking for some Orpingtons in WNY. Perhaps you have extra you don't need or cutting down on flock due to winter. Please let me know. Thanks!

Yes. They dust bath to help with heat/bugs and stay in shade. If you don't keep the saddles on their back will get worse.

Just keep the saddles on, they will molt eventually and the feathers will come back.

I did the same. I don'tnt see the need to break them, its natural. With any of my broodys, I pull them out in the morning to make they get food and water, when they does and hops back in a nesting box I put a handful of food in front of them. They have all done fine with this, they will...

It is very painful flushing it. I've done its 5 times I think I'll stop for now. I hope it is better tomorrow. Thx fir the info, it sounds like your might be permanent. Sry.

That is very informative. Thank you. I recently did put down one of my barred rocks. I could feel something very odd in her crop. It was gel like, it wasn't sour or hard. I knew it was something else. So after a day or 2 of checking her over, I did the humane thing and I put her down. Afterward...

I let my older ones hang around. Once in a blue moon they lay an egg. Mine are hatchery and the oldest are hitting 5 years old now.

OMG I know this is an old thread, but that is hilarious! I'm also in the same boat and I think I have to remove my aggressive Roo

Hello and welcome!

I ama also giving it to my one Easter egger instead of an antibiotic, I'm hoping it helps.

Well I thought I saw one in my barred rocks stool.

I know, I read this also. I've read a lot that said it is a good wormed. I did it 2 nights in a row. There were no worms. I know chickens have worms even if you can't see them, it's normal. I also know they only come out in the poo if there is an overload without using a wormer. So since I...
