Thank you for your response! It's hard to get to the vet for them since the closest one that accepts chickens is kind of far but I'll try to get an appointment for her. I was giving her 2tsp per gallon for 7 days. Once the 7 days was up, I started putting the rooster booster in their water

Thank you so much!!

I appreciate you! I must've read over a hundred posts by now and within the past 24 hours I've been positive that I'm going to kill them all in one way or another. This motherhood thing is so stressful!

Hello I'm a new chicken mom to four 8-week-old little girls. Ginger - speckled sussex Posh - lavender orpington Sporty - barred plymouth rock Scary - black australorp I'm extremely paranoid but trying my best

Hi There! I'm very new and could use some advice and reassurance please? I got 8-week-old pullets yesterday and it seems like every time I check on them, they're napping in a little pile? It was a long car ride yesterday and it was a fairly hot day (~85°). One especially has been sleeping for...
