    Missing Feathers

    Coturnix Quail

    Every Everything I read said how little space they need. I knew that was the reason I guess I just needed to hear it. I bought a rabbit hutch and added an extension. Should I keep the same concept except bigger or make something like the chicken coup and run? Something on the ground is a...

    Coturnix Quail

    I hatched some Coturnix quail. I put them outside in a coup with a screen bottom. I am finding them extremely dirty both inside the cage and cleaning under the cage. They dirty everything. I feel cruel because I keep removing things like the pan with sand. They love taking a sand bath...

    My Chicken Stopped Laying Eggs Why?

    Last February I rescued what I was told was a 1 year old Red Sex link. After her rehabilitation, she laid an egg a day starting from April. She was like an egg laying machine. One morning in June she did not look well. When I came home from work, she was back to her normal self. No eggs for...

    Diarrhea in my Easter Egger

    Thank you all for your responses. It is not really hot hear at all. In the 50's and low 60's at night and low 80's during the day sometimes. It's spring in the North East. I am attaching a copy of the Panacur I used as requested. I am wondering if I used the right dosage of the Wayzine. I...

    Diarrhea in my Easter Egger

    My Easter Egger had bad diarrhea all last summer. I sent her stool for a test and it came back positive for roundworms. So I treated all the chickens with Panacur. They were great all winter. The diarrhea started again on my Easter Egger a few months ago. It is very loose and dark brown. I...

    Am I Done Treating My Hen For Possible Foot Mites?

    I rescued my Red Star Link a month ago. She was found in a shed with no food or water in temperatures that reached -20 on many night. When I picked her up she was skinny and had very little feathers. Looked like a severe molt. I kept her in my shed away from my flock. After two weeks she...

    Can anyone ID This Rescue (Red Sexling?)

    Its a bit of a long story. She was taken from a flock that was on their way to get slaughtered. Then she was neglected. She was the only survivor. She’s a twice survivor and now my favorite. I am going to make a new posting now with some pictures. I would love your input.

    Can anyone ID This Rescue (Red Sexling?)

    She was in such bad shape I really didn’t want her near my flock but I gave in. I kept her in a crate in my shed. The only thing I really found wrong with her aside from being starved was the scales on her legs were lifted. So I bought lice killer. I’ve been soaking her feet in the solution...

    Sour Crop?

    I wanted to update you. After a week of oil,massaging, stool softener and more massaging, not sure what else to do. She is still having a hard time breathing which is probably a result from her throwing up. She is going to the bathroom, but very little. Her crop went down a little the other...
