    Fowl pox and toothpaste?!?

    I think my new chicks have fowl pox! They are separate from my flock but I don’t want them to suffer! I just saw online someone treated this with toothpaste?! Any thoughts??? They used regular Colgate. I of course have crest so I don’t know if there’s a difference! Thanks!

    Help!!!! Chicken keeps laying down!

    I feel like I’ve posted for help a million times since I’ve joined a week ago!!!! One of my hens is laying down. Like a lot. She’s not even a year old. She laid already today. We pick her up and she will walk around and then lay back down! Her comb is nice and bright. She won’t eat any mealworms...

    Do baby chicks peck?

    Ha! No worries. Her are the best I can do. You think that big ball will stay like that? I can’t even imagine killer chicks!

    Do baby chicks peck?

    Ha! No worries. No there is no way she can stick her head out the squares of the fencing are maybe 1/4 inche. I put blue kote on it. So it just looks like she’s got a cool new hair style. But I’ll post a pic when I can!

    Do baby chicks peck?

    I’m sorry... I’m not following? The beak isn’t injured. There is an noticeable bump on her comb now. It’s in the middle of the comb too. So I’m not sure what you mean.

    Do baby chicks peck?

    Thanks! That kinda makes me feel better. I was worried i had some mean ninja chicks! But maybe I need to put some extra fencing along the bottom. Hopefully the blue kote helps too!

    NEED ADVICE! Have chickens but no coop. Lookimg for affordable options

    I’d take them all! My husband would flip! But we are maxed out at 12. The coop we got is for 15-20. But I like them having more room! 😊 we lost one and had no problem finding 4 more the next day! 😂 but we know where to look 😉

    And if you do find one like that make sure the roof peels all the way to the top. Ours has a pitch but flattens our on top. The tarp holds water when it rains.

    Do baby chicks peck?

    They are in our small coop. It’s one that has roosts on top and the bottom is a run. The nesting boxes are to the side and raised. So the bottom is wire. About 1/4 inch openings. The small coop is in the large run so the flock and see them and get used to them. I’m wondering if it sat too close...
