I’m 99% sure a few of my hens have favus/ringworm. Can I use human antifungal?

That’s a good idea! I might try the liquid in bread.

What kind of paste did you use?

Hi, I’m giving my flock dewormer this week by syringe. I’m nervous about it accidentally going down the trachea and drowning them. I read to aim to the left, but I’m still nervous. The trachea is right there. Any other good tips or good videos?

Can you put this in their water or does it have to be given individually?

I saw roundworms in a poo from one of my chickens. I’m not sure which of the ten it was, so I’d like to treat all ten. However, they’re molting right now and I read that the medicine can disrupt feather growth. So I’m using Strike III instead of something stronger. Do I need to wait until...

Hi! One of my hens has one dilated pupil and one not. I can’t tell if she can see out of her eye or not. There’s no gunk, no sign of injury. The only recent difference is that she’s been sleeping on the floor of the coop instead of the roosting bar.

Thanks for the response. I didn’t know that about the intestinal lining! I’m in New England. The weather just warmed up to about the sixties during the day. It’s very damp out. I just noticed this poop today. I have ten hens total. They stay in the run until about 4pm and then free range in...

One of my hens has a watery white diarrhea (similar to image 1) and another had a brown poop with what looked like maybe blood. They are all acting normal and eating/drinking. Any ideas?

Thank you! Do you think the black is truly a black astrolorp?

No I don’t.

OMG I’m a total idiot. I’ve been wondering why the two speckled Sussex I ordered don’t look anything like speckled Sussex. I thought they were just a weird mix or light variety. They don’t remotely look like Sussex 🤦‍♀️ It didn’t occur to me that the lady gave me the wrong breed. They are...

Hi there, My five new pullets just started laying and I noticed an unexpected color in the nest box. The egg in the middle is a greenish grey. I’m expecting only white and brown. The girls are the following breeds: - black astrolorp - barred rock - buff orpington - 2 x speckled Sussex Any...

Thank you guys so much! The intricate feather pattern on the Brahma just astounds me.

Could anyone help me identify the chickens below? I saw them at a local farm and they are gorgeous!
