    Looks like a bloody stool

    Ok thank you! I just bought some corid. Would the homemade tincture have worked just the same? I don't want to take any chances but just curious if anyone has had good results with home remedy treatments such as the one I mentioned earlier. I can always save the tincture for if no available...

    Looks like a bloody stool

    They are about 12-13 weeks old. I don't have pictures at the moment but I can take some when I'm home later today. Maybe I should pick up that treatment as I'm in town with the farm fleet store right now...

    Looks like a bloody stool

    This morning after I put the chickens back in the coop after their morning free range time I noticed what looks like a bloody stool on one of the landscaping rocks outside by the entrance going to the coop. I checked all their vents and couldn't see anything abnormal. I put a homemade parasite...

    Adapting from 2 roosters to 1

    I wondered if that was a possibility. Hopefully he won't get too aggressive. The less dominant one has been my favorite from the start. Which is way I'm keeping him over the other.

    Adapting from 2 roosters to 1

    I plan to give away one of my roosters in a couple weeks to someone a couple blocks away. All of my chickens are about 11-12 weeks old. Is there anything I should know about the flock adjusting? I hope my other rooster doesn't miss him too much. I'm giving away the more dominant rooster. The...

    Leg bands

    Mainly just to help learn and identify 4 of my light brahmas because they are hard to tell apart. I think it will help identify which one is at the bottom of the peaking order. I want to make sure she's not getting picked on too much and able to get her time at the feeder and waterer. One had a...

    Leg bands

    Is there a good brand of leg bands to recommend? Or bad ones to avoid? I may try them temporarily or intermittently. Thanks in advance!

    9 week old roosters becoming mean to other 9 week old hens

    Thanks again everyone!! I know it's not typical to have roosters in town but I'm going to try and keep one and see how it goes while being mentally prepared to having to give both away. I've spoken to 3 neighbors so far and encouraged them to let me know if they become disruptive at all. So far...

    9 week old roosters becoming mean to other 9 week old hens

    Thank you all for your feedback, reassurance and articles! Because of all your help, I'm seeing things through a different lens this morning as i was watching their interactions. I wish I could free range but I'm in town. I may over time come up with a larger fenced in area because I know that...

    9 week old roosters becoming mean to other 9 week old hens

    I'm still confused lol. The attacks are more during eating and territory towards the hens and it doesn't look like what is being referred to in the article. I will continue to monitor them and keep trying to understand. Sorry I'm still confused.
