    10 wk old silkie still passing blood after 5 days on Corid. Is this normal?

    I've been using half a teaspoon of liquid Corid in a quart waterer. There is one other bird in there (I got them with 2 standard sized birds and recently split them up), but I didn't separate them because I felt like it would stress them both out being alone. They are very attached and do...

    Hello, fellow chicken enthusiasts! 😊

    Hey there! Long time lurker, but now I have an account lol. My mom, little sister, and I started raising chickens back in 2020. Our family had just purchased some land, so we spent our quarantine time caring for our new chickens. Now that I have my own house in the countryside, I've started...
