Hi folks! I have three roosters who came up together from chicks and today, two of them decided that it was time to do Thunder Dome. So, two of the three need to go, in order for everyone to continue to be safe and happy in a flock of their own. They are all individually great, unaggressive...
This is Copper. He's a great rooster, polite and unaggressive towards people and hens, but has that protective instinct. We have one too many roosters and want him to have a good home. I don't know what kind of rooster he is; some kind of barnyard mutt. But he is healthy, has been fed organic...
Update: she died of whatever it was. However, we have another one with similar symptoms. Soft, squishy crop. Poopy butt feathers. No feathers are falling out yet, and she acts normal otherwise, so I think there's still time to save her. I isolated her for the night with no access to food and...

-North Carolina

We’re using Tylan 50. There is an odor for sure. The discharge coming from her eye and nostrils smells awful. I hadn’t read about Sulfa, we were told to use Tylan 50 almost as a blanket treatment for any respiratory disease in chickens, in case it was coryza or mycoplasma. This is the only...
We have one hen who started exhibiting symptoms of coryza pretty severely about a week ago. Swollen eye, snot, labored breathing, the works. We began treatment with Tylan immediately. We read that .25 ml administered orally over five days should cure it, so we started with that dosage, but here...
Hey folks, short time lurker, first time poster here. My wife and I got our first batch of pullets last fall. There are four of them, and they’re about 17 weeks old now. So far, so good; everyone is healthy. We’ll call them group A. In the last week, we got a group of four hens who are about a...
