    Non-Broody hen wants to sit with new momma and baby chicks. Is this normal?

    Momma was very ansy on day 2 with the baby chicks and she immediately took them out to the yard to free range when i opened the door. Ive keep the door open and she’s doing such a good job guiding them around the yard with the other birds and teaching them all the good spots to look for bugs. ☺️

    Should I leave the kennel door open during the day or give it a week and see if momma wants to venture out into the yard with the babies? I don’t know if I trust not being present to supervise the other hens reactions.

    Non-Broody hen wants to sit with new momma and baby chicks. Is this normal?

    Hello everyone, New to broody hens and having them raise baby chicks. One of my broody hens just recently adopted (within the last 24hrs) some day old mail order baby chicks. It took two tries for her to finally accept the chicks and she seems to now be bonding well with the babies. I have...

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    I started using Zyfend A and the girls have beautiful red combs, but diarrhea is occasionally still present in two of my girls. I’ve thought about maybe giving fermented feed as a morning treat. Everyone is acting normal, red combs, laying eggs regularly, foraging, and drinking/eating. Some...

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    My girl is still thriving and doing well. The diarrhea seems to be somewhat getting better, but we are still mid treatment for both the possible coccidiosis and worms. I’ll update you all in a couple days when both treatments are complete and I can start working on gut health. However, yours...

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    Thank you! I’ll go ahead and treat for both just in case, but I added a probiotic mix into their water and they’ll get yogurt daily this week. They should be happy campers lol.

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    Just ran down to the coop in my PJs (it's 11:30pm) and mixed up some CORID with a few packets of probiotics in their 5 gallon waterer. HAHA!

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    Do you think it would hurt if I treated for coccidiosis now while they are currently being dewormed? I've got the liquid CORID on hand. I had a few girls come down with it last fall and I was lucky enough to figure it out before they died. They were lethargic, hunched over, secluding themselves...

    3 days very watery diarrhea???

    I have a hen that currently has very watery diarrhea for the past month. Still eating/drinking, laying, and foraging. Her poo looks very similar to this photo. What ever happened to your girl? I just started the deworming process (Safeguard 10%) and I am about to repeat.

    Watery diarrhea for past month.

    Hi all, In need of suggestions. I have a 1 year old hen that has had constant watery diarrhea for the past month, that is causing poopy butt feathers. I've had to give her a bath a few times to clean the excessive debris. She is still eating and drinking normal, actively foraging during yard...

    Help! Cloudy eye and lethargic chicken.

    8mo old pullet with cloudy and opaque eye that is now lethargic and no longer eating or drinking. The lethargy was noticed yesterday, but the eye was found to be cloudy today. I’m out of town until next week and there are no poultry vets in my area. I had the girl separated and instilling...

    Salmonella Poisoning

    Feel better! Lots of fluids and crackers. Took about 2 weeks for my digestive system to reset itself back to normal.

    Salmonella Poisoning

    I saw that too! 😭 I ate onions a lot last week, no red onions though. Honestly, I need to have a self sustaining farm. Goals in life!

    I have pans from old dog crates under the roosts. They are only about 2” deep and they work great!
