    powder antibiotics

    The name of the antibiotic is Duramycin-10. The girls are eating and drinking just fine, heard one of them either cough or sneeze and that's the same thing that started when I lost one of them. Didn't pay much attention at the time but then she wouldn't eat or drink would just sit around in one...

    powder antibiotics

    Can anyone tell me how to mix up the powder antibotics for my girls. I had one die on me and another one is beginning to sneeze or cough so I want to get a handle on this. The package says to mix a gallon at a time, but it says to use 400 to 800 mg and I'm old and didn't do well at math in...

    help, need info about my hen

    Bamasilkies....thank you so much for easing my mind about my little girls. I just checked on them and they are doing fine. I thought maybe an egg had broken inside the one that died but didn't know what to do about it. When I lived on the farm with my grandparents they had a huge flock of...

    help, need info about my hen

    We lost the little hen last night. She did have labored breathing at the time we went to bed. Someone suggested she may have had coccidiosis. There was no way to get her checked during that time last night. I am wondering if I should treat the other girls just to be sure. The rest of them seem...

    help, need info about my hen

    My hen (barred Rock) is acting droopy, sitting around and not eating, we came home from errands and found her with yellow whitish stuff on her rear end. She acted sluggist yesterday but I didn't think anything was wrong. I brought her in and put her in a warm sitz bath and cleaned her up and at...

    help, need info about my hen

    Help! Came home this afternoon and found my hen (barred rock) droopy and having a white and yellow discharge coming from her vent. I thought she might have an egg bound situation, she is lethargic and didn't have any food in her crop so apparently she hasn't been eating either. I brought her in...

    DIY Water Heater Question

    I've been thinking about using a bird bath heater for my chicken waterers this winter, this is their first winter, but haven't heard of anyone twho has used this method and don't know how well it would work. I'm assuming the plastic waterers would not be the type to use and I should get a metal...

    antisocial barred rock

    I have a deep down feeling that chick is a rooster but didn't know when I would find out. She is vocal and different sounds than the other chicks. I won't be able to keep him because of the neighborhood, all the houses are close together. I do have a friend that will take him if I have to let...

    antisocial barred rock

    I hope I can keep the chick too! I named her after my granddaughter, so there's no chance of a chicken dinner here at this house! She is a lot lighter in color than the other girls plus she's a lot bigger, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that shes not a roo!!! Thanks everyone, really...
