    Is this looking like coccidia poop?

    Thanks for your input! The closest tractor supply is an hour away and I’m at work today. I *think* I can get there in time. I looked at the other girls droppings and they all look normal/healthy. Is it ok to dose the whole flock. They’re 7 weeks.

    Is this looking like coccidia poop?

    Hello- I just lost a 7 week old chick with an illness that seemed to come out of nowhere where. I separated her last night and she had died this morning. I noticed her being fluffed up only that morning. Otherwise she seemed active and happy. Always came to me and perched on the arm. I took...

    How best to integrate hen into new young flock?

    The older hen is an Easter Egger- very flighty. The young flock is a mix of Buff Orpingtons and Barred Rocks.

    How best to integrate hen into new young flock?

    Hi all! I need advice on integrating my last surviving hen from my first flock into my new young flock. My hen was lowest rung girl and bullied in her old flock. She out survived them and I now have 8 seven week old pullets to merge her into. I picked more docile breeds hoping they’d be not as...

    Sick Chicken. Nothing obvious but definitely not right.

    Thanks; I’ll give that a try. I do have oyster shell out free choice but she shows no interest. So maybe making her take some calcium will help. She was my most consistent layer with nice hard shells and there was no change in quality but she stopped laying altogether one day. Her crop is...

    Sick Chicken. Nothing obvious but definitely not right.

    Hello! I need your experience. I have a 2 year old hen who has been lethargic and stopped laying about a week ago. She doesn’t have a runny nose, watery eyes, nor is she sneezing. Breathing just fine. No runny poop, as a matter of fact, barely poops because she’s not eating much. She does tend...

    Egg issues after infectious bronchitis

    Thanks! I’ll get some and give it a try. Right now they are in layer feed with oyster shell as free choice. I do treats in the evening consisting of soldier fly larvae and some scratch (about a handful or two for 5 birds).

    Egg issues after infectious bronchitis

    Hello! My flock recently had Infectious Bronchitis run through it. Three out of five hens had their egg production impacted. I read it could take up to 8 weeks for things to return to normal but I’m worried about what they are currently laying. Very soft shelled and broken with yolk running...

    First time caller, long time fan

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I’m very happy to report Melba has bounced back!!! I followed my gut and stopped the Tylosin on day 3 and then pumped electrolytes and probiotics the next day. By evening she was back to going hard on the snacks and was back to roosting with the other gals...

    Took a turn after two days on antibiotics, need help

    Good news! Melba bounced back! I stopped the Tylosin and pumped the electrolytes and probiotics. She’s back to eating and drinking like normal. Still waiting for normal poops and for egg schedule to get back on track, but honestly just happy she is feeling better!

    Took a turn after two days on antibiotics, need help

    So far her droppings have been that green color, and not much of it. She was laying up until a few days ago, and her eggs were healthy looking. I was worried it was the antibiotics wiping out her good bacteria. She has been drinking the antibiotic water pretty religiously. I put out some...
