    quill but no feather

    Thank you. I was afraid he had some kind of mite as I really try to do everything I can for them not to have them. He has been a little 'disabled' lately. He started slumping over about 10 months ago....in other words he does not stand up straight anymore. I think he may have hurt his back...

    quill but no feather

    My rooster has lost all of the feathers but not the quill on his tail feathers and back. All he has back there is quills but no feather. I treat the coop with orange guard and domo. earth everytime I clean. I don't know what the deal is.

    Hen continues to lay soft shelled eggs

    All of my hens were laying soft eggs. I mixed the oyster shells in with their food. I tried putting it on the ground and it did not work. And I have my customers save me the egg shells. I from time to time crush them and scatter them on the ground. I have not had a soft egg for months but it...

    Rooster is standing funny help?

    'My big man is doing the same thing. He eats fine, poops, but he use to come racing out of the hen house first one in the morning chasing all of the girls around. Now he is not the first out and he only chases a little after awhile. He is eating fine but slouching. I don't understand it.

    swollen thighs and butt area

    Swollen Barred Rock died. She got so sick I had to take her from the hen house because the others started picking on her and attacking her. I tried the orange guard and still use it when ever I clean the coop every 2 weeks. Also the Domi. Earth stuff....I put it on the litter in the coop and in...

    Comment by 'myarodafarm' in item 'Australorp'

    He is handsome. My rooster has tried to attack me twice in 2 years. He has never hurt me though. He flies up at my thigh. I yell at him but am not mean to him. I don't want to make him meaner. I guess I am lucky. But he does protect the hens, although he is 'hen pecked'. If I throw down a treat...

    Also if they had a parasite maybe if would explain the soft eggs. I have 5 hens and only get about one egg a day now. I do see signs of soft eggs in the coop. They seem to poop them out when they are on the roost at night. Crazy chickens!!!! They are very intertaining!!

    The orange guard looks great. But try to find it in a neighborhood store. To order it on line is very expensive. The shipping is more than the product. I will try and let you know how it goes.

    chicken toys ??

    My chickens have a large yard that is fenced in on the sides and top since I have lots of hawks. Of coarse all of the vegetation is dead in the yard where they play, but....i will take a shovel and dig holes for them or a hoe and dig a trench. They enjoy investigating the area. Also you can move...
