I had 6 cuckoo marans mixed into my flock. 4 of them have died over the last year with the same ailments; starts with a sneeze or 2, then wheezing breathing, then within a day they are dead. I feed them layer crumbles, fruit, veggies, bread, ac vinegar in their water and have been giving them...
Is there anything else I should be treating the chickens with other than ac vinegar, vitamin & electrolytes, and the pink eye gel? I was told yesterday to try adding cayenne pepper to their water to help also, and again thank you all for your advice I really appreciate it
I lost one hen today and had to put another down. I have 3 with pink eye. I cleaned the coop about a week ago, then again today, bleached, dusted etc. we have had a rat around for a while, so I'm not sure if it is the problem. The hen that died was sneezing yesterday, only 1 had pink eye and the...
Her poops are normal greenish and white, not runny, and her crop seems full, but I am fairly new to chickens (only 1.5 years) so I will look into sour crop.
Thanks for the replies, all advice is very appreciated
I have a 1yo auracana that has been acting strange for a few days. She is sitting/perching with her butt elevated, she feels a little thin, and is holding her wings out, and isn't as active as she normally is. When she stands her wings droop. I have her in the house now, have given her 2 baths...
Hi, I was directed to this thread as I am looking for 4-12 female Mille fleurs. Sadly I lost my girl yesterday in a terrible accident and will miss her greatly. I got her at 1 day old last April, and shortly thereafter she became my sidekick. She greeted me everyday by flying up and sitting on...
Wakefield here! I'm looking for 4-12 female Mille fleur d'uccles. I lost mine yesterday in a tragic accident and now her mate is alone. I would like chicks so I can hand raise them to be as social as mine was, but am not opposed to older girls as well
Thank you very much

I was on vacation for 5 days and my eggs did not get collected. I have a hen that sits on them intermittently but I can't tell if there are embryos inside or not. Are they safe to wash and put away or should I throw them away? I am in New Hampshire, it's fairly cool outside (40's) and I know...
I'm sorry, I bought 7 bantam chicks 2 weeks ago, lost one last week and one last night
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, they have food, vitamins, water, ACV, heat lamp, etc. It is very sad to lose them though
