    Looking for Silkies in the NEPA area!

    Recently, lost my silkie roo and now I have a lonely chicken. So, I'm looking for a new buddy for her...possibly two! So, if you live in northeastern PA (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area) and have any silkies for sale, at a reasonable price...please let me know. No color or sex preference, but...

    Swollen around the ear!

    I've read other posts, where ear infections cause dizziness...which he doesn't seem dizzy. He's walking fine. Or, where the chicken may hold its head to one side. He isn't doing that, either. I'm not completely ruling it out. But, would the Duramycin-10 help with that, if he did have an...

    Swollen around the ear!

    Just went to check on him...I was keeping him in a box downstairs and when I peaked in, I saw blood in the box. So, I inspected and I don't know what he did or how he did it, but he was bleeding from the swollen ear hole. I don't know if he bumped it or if something burst. So, I took him out...

    Swollen around the ear!

    No, I haven't consulted a vet, yet...I don't really have the funds to do so right now, so that's why I'm hoping I can figure this out and treat it myself. And, he has no other symptoms. He seems to be acting normal, otherwise...that's why I don't understand what this could be! I started...

    Swollen around the ear!

    I haven't seen any improvement with my poor little guy. He's acting normal, otherwise. I had purchased Duramycin-10 from the tractor supply place. They recommended I give it a try, but I have been unsure if I should, after reading a few of the other posts on here, about sick birds. So, I have...

    The chickens share a water container. If I get antibiotics for in the water, it won't hurt the other chicken will it??

    Swollen around the ear!

    I noticed on my silkie, around his one ear, its raised. The tiny feather, that usually covers his ear hole is just a stub and it looks like, inside his ear is either blocked or just that swollen. It also appears to be harder around that ear, then around the other one. He wouldn't really let me...

    Do Chickens Usually Get Lazy During The Winter Months or...

    ...do I have a more serious problem? This is the first winter that I've had my chickens. My hen has been laying in her nesting box a lot, lately. She's there every time I go out to check on them. My rooster is some times laying by her, but he's a least moving around the coop. He's also...

    2 Questions!

    I guess I'm just extra cautious because my chickens are dumb! LOL, and I mean that! They'll stand outside in the pouring rain and refuse to go back into their coop! Their coop isn't too big (8x4), so when the door is open, unless it's nighttime, they're outside. It'd be just my luck, that...
