    So the fat contents is less. Protein about the same. Unfortunately I can not kaytee, well I can but it's £40 ( not sure how much you pay) but wouldn't get for a few weeks. Which I'm more then happy to do if it would help. But I'll also look see if anything else I can get quicker

    11 month hen acting odd, molting or something else

    In addition to my second message above (forgot to click reply). I have just seen her at the feeder. I checked the camera I have in the set up and could see a hen feeding, unfortunately I have another red hen and couldn't make out who it was so I walked down. It was definitely her but she stopped...

    Chicken sniffles

    Hopefully does point to more of a isolate injury if the rest of the flock are ok. Mine seem to be turning a corner with it. No new symptoms. Sneezing runny nose and congestion is all we had. The runny noses all seem to have gone. The sneezing less so and the congestion is just in those worst...

    Chicken sniffles

    Yeah, I added to my flock and I think that's where my problem has come from. Which has made me angry at myself. Is it just swollen or is it discharging/ bubbling ? Your lucky with having a good vet. I think the UK lacks vets who will see backyard chickens

    Chicken sniffles

    It's so hard as all the symptoms blend into different illnesses and Google can make it all very overwhelming and scary. Do you have access to a vet ? What symptoms are they showing I've never dealt with a respiratory illness in the 5 years I've had chickens untill this one. Hope your flock...
