    HELP Prolapsed Vent!

    Thanks for the reply! It has been a day or two so far. There is definitely some bright red tissue exposed and even white pieces that I think are from the cream sticking. So far I do not feel an egg coming and have placed the tissue back in roughly 6-8 times today. My goal is to shrink it and...

    HELP Prolapsed Vent!

    Hello everyone, my sweet silkie has a prolapsed vent and I am feeling very discouraged. I have cleaned her in a salt bath multiple times, applied antimicrobial, hydrocortisol, and sugar to the vent. I have pushed it back in and isolated in a dark area, but the tissue continues to fall out and...

    Need Nutritional Advice!

    Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful! I believe we have 2 roosters (1 for sure) that plan on being rehomed next week. Would you still suggest the same feed for hens? "raiser/grower (%18-%20) or feather fixer" I currently have Hydrohen, B-12 alone, and "Rooster Booster"- Vitamins &...

    Need Nutritional Advice!

    I would love some chicken nutrition help!!! I got 7 birds in March which consist of mainly silkies and a few silkie/cochin mixes. I have been giving them oyster shell, grit and a more natural bird feed and they free range a few hours a day. They have not touched the oyster/grit so I have been...

    Roo or pullet!?!

    I added additional pics, but they may be hard to gauge let me know if I should take some more! They are mainly silkie mixes or straight silkie which is tricky.

    Roo or pullet!?!

    That is VERY encouraging to hear!! A couple have started crowing and I see those males (because they crowed) challenging 4 other chickens in the flock. They have neck feathers spread out and seem to be fighting to get to the top...I am a newby though and certainly don't feel confident in my...

    Roo or pullet!?!

    Hey everyone!! So I totally got shafted on my new flock...I literally feel 8 out of 10 are males and we are only hoping for layers. This one is definitely one of the largest in the bunch, but isn't challenging like the others (however there is so much testosterone he may just be weaker..)...
