    Odd finding in the hen house WARNING photo included

    My two year old buff hasn't laid an egg in months, I thought I was due to her molting, moving, then loosing her buddy and then today I find her in the hen house with this odd glob of clear stuff on the dropping board. She is eating, drinking & grumpy as always....her new buddies are supposed to...

    Respiratory infection?

    Yes I spent most of yesterday figuring out my next move. I'm going to keep a very close eye on my hen :/We're building a larger run for her this weekend & then ordering very young chicks from a new source I found today. Wish I had found them before!! Oh well I'm well stocked on medication. I'm...

    Respiratory infection?

    With much deliberation the girls went back to the women I purchased them from. Even with antibiotics they weren't improving.

    Respiratory infection?

    I took the other stuff back and purchased the powder. I'm beginning to think it's the culprit as the buffs face is slightly swollen. My other hen is not in with them they are in a different coop. Should I treat her to be on the safe side?

    Respiratory infection?

    Feeling a little frustrated. I purchased two new pullets a week ago & it's been a mess. I've never had sick chickens before. Background : they came with lice so I dusted them with DE & sprayed them with poultry protector. Then one had runny foamy poop so they are in day three of Corid & it's...

    Concerned about new pullet

    I went to our local feed store & tractor supply to get a few things: I purchased non-medicated food which they are now on, I started the Corid and mixed it with one gallon of water which is now stored, should I re mix it daily or can I work through the gallon? At both places I was told to use...

    Hi I'm Lauren

    I've never seen a black one but was just reading an article on all the colors ridgebacks can actually come in & black although very rare happens! They are cool dogs, they love our hens.

    Buff Orpington or Austerlop?

    Just a suggestion on breeds, I've had buffs, marans & barred rocks. The buffs are really gentle and my current girl is a very quirky sweet heart. The last barred rock we had was so fun! She would hop on the lounger outside & sun herself, fall asleep on my lap & was never phased by a wild two...

    Concerned about new pullet

    Thank you! I never wormed my last flock as it never seemed to be an issue I usually went the "natural" rout with pumpkin and ACV but I've never dealt with foamy poop. The stinky cecal poop yes....I'll hit the feed store tomorrow :)
