    Some appear sick and dying, others are fine? 3 dead so far

    Quote: No they would have to get it from the ground, not passed on in an egg. as far as I know! I've stareted them on amprol. Everyone seems just fine today besides two of them being puffed up. they are eating and drinking just fine. I have hope that this goes away, whatever it is.

    thanks all. I regularly give them garlic mashed up in rice. I am fresh out of plain yogurt but they get some of that too and anything else we have scraps of. I have some corrid, I bought some when I first got chickens "just in case". I should do just the babies right seeing as the adults are...

    Can my Neighbours make me get rid of my chickens??

    wow thank you all for your replies! Where we live it is unpopulated in the winter. It is a quiet road with only one other person living on it full time (they have no problem with the birds). We have had two neighbours come talk to us and they said they had no problem with the birds but I am...

The girls are well cared for, not noisy and the one rooster we have is in all night and only goes out...
