    Antibiotics and liquid wormer at the same time

We have some head shaking but nothing the eye can see, coop and run is clean and some hopfully crop adjustments. Last worm count 3 months ago was negative vet said...

    New chicks

    Thank you, I was hoping to maybe mix them although worried as we have birds of prey around and a Heron so worried they will get picked off if quite small.

    Hello, thank you. Our silkies are always going broody. She wasn't leaving the nest box after laying coming out and going back in but not sitting on any eggs yesterday.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    We have the same issue, but our broody Silkie is right by the door so can't attach a ramp. We only started allowing her to sit on 4 eggs yesterday as she went broody again. May move her to a separate brooder within the same run of put her on the floor of the coop.
