    How often do you put garlic in the water?

    Just want to know, I’ve been putting garlic since I found out you could and alternating it with electrolytes and am not sure if it’s a good idea.

    Chicken acting up - sounds of pain?

    Actually, the three silkies I have tend to breathe through their mouth a lot. Hmm do you think it might be gape worms?

    Chicken acting up - sounds of pain?

    Nope and no, I don’t think she’s old enough to start laying (4 months)

    Chicken acting up - sounds of pain?

    One of my chickens look like she’s in pain sometimes, this is the third time I saw it happen but it might’ve happened when I wasn’t there as well. She would stay still, put her head down, and start making this sound like she’s in pain while kinda moving her head around. Here’s a short clip of...

    Month old chick won’t eat & drink, has yellow watery poo

    Kk, btw a question - is it possible for coccidiosis to go away on its own? He was a lot more energetic this morning and no signs of cocci aside from droppings with blood & yellow liquid - and I’m not sure which chick it came from.

    Month old chick won’t eat & drink, has yellow watery poo

    Okay I will tomorrow, should I do it for his whole group? And yeah I was able to treat my silkies, I have an open packet of Axylin (Amprolium + Sulfaquinoxaline) - can I still use that? I'll elevate the feeder & find alternative bedding for them since I can't buy any right now, thanks!

    Month old chick won’t eat & drink, has yellow watery poo

    He was fine a couple of days ago and I just noticed a change in his behavior yesterday. He’s not moving much and doesn’t eat - earlier he ate some mealworms from my hand but now he refuses to eat even that. I have water with garlic for him and tried making him drink it, I probably managed to...

    Chicken falls asleep while standing still, slower than others

    my month old chicks (rir & pbr)

    I think I have 1 male and 2 female RIRs but I’m not sure about my PBRs, one already has a pinkish comb and has a darker look, but the other two are also quite aggressive which makes me think they might be males. LMK!

    Chicken scared of me after isolating her

    It would suck if this was the case because she's so fluffy. My mom was able to hand feed her a treat tho so hopefully it's just a matter of time! Oww, I've been grabbing them every now and then because someone told me it would help tame them, but I'll stop.

    Chicken scared of me after isolating her

    I have 3 silkies and I isolated one after I recently got them because she seemed really sick. During the isolation period I had to force her to drink medicated water because she wouldn’t drink and I also trimmed her “hair” a bit to see better. Now whenever I hand feed them she just pecks stuff...

    Chickens not eating a lot?

    I have 3 3 month old silkies and I put about 1/3 cup of feed 3x a day and they never finish their food. They don’t even seem to eat half of it. Is this normal or are they eating less than normal?

    Is this poop normal or do my chickens have worms?

    I have medicine for coccidiosis (Axylin) but I used it a week ago on them, not sure if it’s ok to use it again right away :(

    Is this poop normal or do my chickens have worms?

    Unfortunately due to the whole COVID-19 lockdown vet that serves chickens here is closed :( I saw one of my chickens poop this out today (first pic as it was, second is after spreading it with cardboard) The particular chicken that pooped it pooped it out seems to open her mouth a lot to...
