    Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. Which wormer do I go?

    Actually, I highly suggest that you buy both kilverm and flubenvet. I'm also an aussie chicken keeper, and having both on hand means that when you worm them seasonally the worms in your vicinity won't grow to have a resistance to the medication you use. For clarification, it's like when humans...

    How many chickens? What kind?

    Amazing coop setup you have there. If they ever get added higher priority, Faverolles seem like a pretty good choice for your criteria. They lay throughout the winter and are well suited for it. They are also really docile and funny looking chickens. If you did decide to add more chickens my...

    Is my olive egger a rooster or just a early maturing hen...?

    I guess when I researched "signs of a rooster" I didn't check what age they were referring to. Thanks for clearing that up!

    Is my olive egger a rooster or just a early maturing hen...?

    Hi everyone, I have a little 4 week old olive egger here named Olive (creative name, I know) that I'm honestly unsure of the gender of. She (they???) is/are sexed but of course mistakes can happen and this little one sort of acts like a rooster. When she was younger at about 2 weeks she had...

    Cocciprol (Powder) Preventative amprolium Dosage for 3 week old chicks??

    Wait is it safe to give amprolium to chicks eating medicated feed (the medication here is lasalocid sodium)? There is no extra amprolium in the chick feed, just lasalocid)

    Cocciprol (Powder) Preventative amprolium Dosage for 3 week old chicks??

    Hi guys, I suspect my 3 week old chicks have coccidiosis (I know, I said that last time but I'll just give a preventative dose), do any of you guys know a preventative dose grams/litre of water? I am using amprolium called Cocciprol, which is a powder not liquid. I read the instructions and it's...

    I mean, the heat plate is currently at an angle right now, should I make it even then?

    Help my chicks may have coccidiosis…

    Could I just treat the whole flock during the 7 week period to play it safe or is there hidden risks?

    Help my chicks may have coccidiosis…

    The heat plate says it is 32 degrees but I shall check that with a thermometer tonight or get a family member to do it. I was not told whether or not she is crested or not but was told she will lay blue eggs so she has Araucana blood. Crested? It is cocciprol, the powder form. After treatment...

    Help my chicks may have coccidiosis…

    hm, my chick definitely eats and drinks just not as often. It sleeps a lot. She hunches over and puffs a bit as seen in the photo though. I also remember seeing diarrhea and milky white droppings. Should I separate her and give her amprolium or observe her more? Or do I dose the whole flock in...

    Help my chicks may have coccidiosis…

    AH yes I've heard of blood in droppings is cocci. I thought it was a sign that coccidiosis has progressed a lot? I know its 32 bc the plate has a screen on top where I can see the temp and press buttons to change it

    Help my chicks may have coccidiosis…

    Very excited but anxious new chicken keeper here. Bought chicks three days ago on the weekend and they are now 1 week and 2 days old. I noticed, 2 days ago, that Cookie, my cream legbar, stays under the heat plate for a long time and only occasionally come out to dust bathe/eat/ etc. She does...
