    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    This info really helps out. Thank you. The rooster we have now is a Barred Rock and the nicest one that we had. The others were very onry with the girls. He is about 7 months old now. I wouldn't say that he calls the girls to eat but he will share with them. I did put a second feeder in...

    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    Okay. At what age are they full grown? How much scratch would you recommend giving them and I have grit in the coop with them. When I went out this morning to check on my chickens, they were looking better. So that is hopeful. I may even have to let them back out to free range more. They...

    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    I will try that. I added a second waterer yesterday, but I will try another feeder also. Like I said I always keep their food container full so they all have plenty of food. But I will be making some changes to the amount of food I give them. I hope that this works. It is getting really...

    Right now They are contained in the coop. I have one feed station that I always have feed in, and I just put another watering container in the coop in which the two chickens I have with pale combs started drinking alot of water.

    To be honest with you i don't remember the brand of wormer I used that was a couple weeks ago. I didn't give another dose due to the fact that I didnt notice any worms on the ground right after they would poop. We go through a 50 pound bag of feed every 2-2 1/2 weeks. with the last bag I was...

    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    So once again I went out to check on my babies (6 month) RIR and I had another hen dead. This time I noticed that her comb and face were very pale. Then I noticed that I have two more hens with pale combs, and they are doing a lot more laying around. I have wormed them, given vitamins and...

    My hen seems perfectly healthy in every way except..........She cannot stand up all the way.....

    Where would I get the riboflavin at to try? Also if it is Merkes, is there anything we can do for her? But yes she is walking on her elbows, I just didn't know if that was the proper way to put it. Sorry, this is my first time raising chickens and all went fine until the last month. I have...

    My hen seems perfectly healthy in every way except..........She cannot stand up all the way.....

    About a week ago I was checking on my chickens to make sure they had water and make sure they hadn't laid anymore eggs. I heard a lot of commotion as I was walking off and I went back to check it out. I noticed a rooster just being a rooster...lol But then I noticed that the hen he was after...

    It looks like a couple are pretty thin. What does that mean? I make sure that they always have food.

    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    They are normally really active and move around all the time unless they are laying eggs. They were a little lazy when it was really hot a few days ago but I made sure that they had plenty of water and shade. I don't give them many treats unless I have left over fruit and veggies on a rare...

    My chickens are dying.....Please help!

    I'm sorry I am so upset about the situation I forgot all that info. I purchased them in March 2015 as chicks. I have Rhode island reds, barred rock, and in June I purchased 6 ameraucanas for a total of 20 chickens. We were letting them free range for most of the summer, then we enlarged the...
