    4 Day old Silky Chick died of symptoms similar to Coccidiosis

    Wow, so coccidia have different incubation periods and it could be just 3 days from time of exposure? Thank you so much for the information, it probably has saved the lives of our other 4 chicks. I know what I must do now.

    I've got a coon! Help please!

    We have had our time with raccoons and unfortunately you must act quickly and decisively because they do not work alone and when your chickens are no longer interesting, they will go after your other pets. We had one of our ranch cats killed by a raccoon while trying to protect her kittens. I...

    4 Day old Silky Chick died of symptoms similar to Coccidiosis

    I am really wondering what is the cause of a 4 day old Silky Bantam death. The symptoms are identical to Coccidiosis, however the chick has only been alive for 4 days. Doesn't coccidiosis have an incubation period that is longer than 4 days? And whats more, another chick is showing signs of...

    2nd Chicken Death in two weeks

    Thank you for the info on DE. I am still in the process of reading all..., i believe the cause of the problems was mites! I had rescued some birds from an Urban Farm that was abandoned and the birds had been left to beg from school kids as an elementary school is across the street from their...

    A Pillow Case tip to get chicks to sleep

    I just discovered a little trick to get overactive chicks to all sleep at once. I received 25 bantams and 30 heavies yesterday and put them in a large Brooder with heat lamps on one end and food / water at the other end. The activity was frantic until enough was enough. I put the Bantams in an...

    2nd Chicken Death in two weeks

    Hi, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction before I loose any more of my girls. Two weeks ago, I lost a chicken. She had a bloody rear end and was lethargic. Seemed like she was egg bound or prolapsed uterus - I kept her quite and separated but she passed anyways. I have been...

    Golden Eagles attacked Bantan Rooster today

    Update on Squeeky the Bantam Rooster that was almost a snack for 2 golden eagles. He is doing okay, but still refuses to come out of the hen house. He will not cock a doodle do either. Before this, he was the most annoying, horneyest little sob and I have threatened him several times with a...

    Golden Eagles attacked Bantan Rooster today

    I think he is hurt pretty bad but he was just on adrenaline after the attack. He is in hiding, I suspect that he is under the hen house. Because of his size, he can fit in the smallest spaces. Tomorrow morning we will pull up some planks and find him. Unfortunately, his wife, our broading...

    Golden Eagles attacked Bantan Rooster today

    We live on a ranch just outside the San fancisco Bay Area, in the Altamont Pass, a region that has many birds of prey. Today, and we have never experienced such an attack, two Golden Eagles had our Bantam rooster in its talons and was lifting off when I hard the rooster's screams and went...
