    Diarrhea Poop

    Yeah, sometimes you get immediate response and other times... (maybe, never?) My hen is about 4 years old RIR probably about 6 months since she laid an egg. Even though her comb is red, she's perky, eats, drinks everything normal - just runny poops. Also have treated with antibiotics, wormed...

    Diarrhea Poop

    Hello Darktolight, I don't see any replies here, did you discover anything about this chicken? Don't have any answers, just a similar problem I've had a hen with consistent diarrhea for MONTHS and seems perfectly healthy otherwise, as does the rest of the flock. Treated for all the "usual" and...

    Feathering issue - not molting - rooster riden?

    Thank you for your reply, she does seem to get a fair amount of attention from the Rooster. But I have two dominate RIR and a more aggressive BR that might be picking at her. BUT she definitely harrasses some of the others, so she's not TOTALLY at the bottom. She also usually sleeps "alone" on...

    Feathering issue - not molting - rooster riden?

    2 Year old barred rock hen name: "Frida-lay". Molted in fall 22, stopped laying about a month ago she is a very consistent layer. The feather issue appeared around same time as stopped laying. She is acting normal, I've checked her for mites/lice and even though I did not find anything on her I...

    Broken Feathers - What causes this???

    I have an 18 month old EE hen that I thought was just molting, but picked her up today, and many of her feathers are BROKEN. Is this caused by disease, mites or other. She is definitely not getting picked on. Lately has been first one in coop at night and last one out, a little stand offish and...

    Stick tight fleas

    Okay - Q-tip is a good idea! I will try to get a good picture when I catch him and apply. Thanks for the tip.

    Stick tight fleas

    Well had a lovely free roaming Roo show up and start hanging around our flock. He appears to have stick tight fleas. I have never dealt with these before, and don't want to get an infestation. IF I scoop him up and treat him, any chance I can get rid of them and possibly integrate him or...

    Impacted Crop -

    Thank you for the reply, a good article to keep on file, I have book marked it for future use. Unfortunately, this girl didn't make it. As stated in the article (last reason on list of "why") she was already dying. In retrospect, she probably had an empty crop the day before, but yesterday was...

    Impacted Crop -

    Have a 1.5 yo hen, a little bleak off/on for a few days. Yesterday am checked her crop seemed OK (maybe I was in a hurry?) But I was told she was pretty normal most of the day until afternoon. This morning she was hanging back in coop again, so when I checked her this morning she DEFINITELY...

    *Solved* See below. Little Roo - Any idea what he might be?

    He is definitely a bantam. Clean pink legs, not notice a beard, but I'm not an expert on that. So I'm leaning towards Mille Fleur OEGB as stated above. Unless the extremely rare Bantam Speckled Sussex. We do have a farm swap that occurs across the street 2Xs a month, I'll have to inquire if...

    *Solved* See below. Little Roo - Any idea what he might be?

    *Solved* He is a Mille Fleur Old English Game Bantam. What was throwing us off the trail was the comb/wattles. When they show these guys, they "dub" (cut) the comb/wattles, so when you search standard or images, it will show "dubbed comb" which will appear to be more like a rose or button comb...

    Dry Pox

    So it looks like I have a case of dry pox, just noticed today on 2 of 5 hens. In Florida and the mosquito have been rabid. It's been years since I dealt with this issue, and I honestly don't remember best protocol. Rooster booster and Vet Rx or a topical antibiotic? Or oral antibiotics? I'm...

    Young Roo with excess Libido - Fix?

    Fantastic reply which is greatly appreciated. I don't hate roosters, and IF he "merits" my feeding him, he will be allowed to stay. Yes, the goal was to have eggs that is all... long term self sufficiency is always a bonus and would likely include a Rooster, just wasn't intending that...

    Greatly appreciate your response. Just separated him again this morning, will give him another opportunity to shape up or else.
