    This is complicated- can any of you experts help?

    My camera is broken but the discharge is more like powder. It is dried on her rear end. Worming is a possibility. I don't know much about subject so I just figured Ivermectin and Frontline would cure her. Is valbazan the best wormer? Any further guesses? Thanks, everybody, for any input...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Hello. I am in Clarksburg. I don't know about variants. I just went ahead and bought a few hens thinking it is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission (especially in THIS county). I've had them about 4 years now with no complaints. A few of the neighbors are amused by them, especially...

    This is complicated- can any of you experts help?

    I have had a silkie bantam hen for 18 months. She came to me, unknowingly, with vent gleet. I treated with copper sulfate, and anti-fungals before I took her to the vet. Vet found mites and felt that was the problem. Ivermectin caused the gleet to briefly dry up. The symptoms came back a...

    Heat and chickens - how to manage?

    This is a great bunch of ideas! Everyone here is a top-notch poultry enthusiast. It took me quite a while before I realized that you need a reflective tarp or sunshade!

    I hear that the forecast for tomorrow is 100 plus degrees. Does anyone have any secrets for keeping your flock cool? Today I gave them a tray of ice cubes to play with. Do you have any ideas? NANCY

    Comment by 'PrincessSweetChick' in item 'Silkie'

    Hello to all and a special hello to Montgomery County chicken people. I live in Clarksburg, have a few hens, and am interested in buy/swap for a silkie hen. Anyone out there who wants to trade?

    Fox grabbed one of my hens today.

    Good idea. Let the dogs solve your problem for you. Foxes are smart and I'll bet they won't hang around with the dogs....
