    Egg Safety

    My two 10-month old Americaunas keep getting out by flying up on top of the laying boxes (outside the coop) and then jumping into the 5’ fence. We have tried clipping their wings but they still get out and since they can’t get back in, they find a hiding spot to lay their eggs. I thought they...

    Thank you for the compliment and also for your ideas. I’m off to the nursery!

    Need suggestions for bedding material

    They do like dust bathing in one area of the planter. Thank you!

    Need suggestions for bedding material

    We have a large raised bed planter at the back section of our chicken run which was once completely filled with vinca. Our chickens ate it down to the ground and over time their scratching has exposed roots of larger plants and trees. I need suggestions for bedding material I can use in this...

    Hen not laying, diarrhea

    I have been putting Apple cider vinegar in their water, but I wonder if probiotics would be better?

    Hen not laying, diarrhea

    That thought crossed my mind. Would that cause diarrhea though?

    Hen not laying, diarrhea

    The vets around here won’t do a fecal test with out a $55 exam. I have not wormed them yet. What wormer do you recommend and should I worm all of them including the chicks?

    Hen not laying, diarrhea

    I need help! My 4-year old Brahma has diarrhea (sometimes watery), a messy vent and hasn’t laid an egg in over a month. She also prefers sleeping in one of the laying boxes and not on the roost. At first, I thought it might be the layer pellets because the feed store ran out of the Bar Ale...

    Abnormal Droppings

    I haven’t been able to follow her around due to all the rain. We are expecting sunshine for the next week though, so I plan to give her a bath and spend some time outside. I don’t feed them fruit so that’s not the issue. I will try the rice. Thank you!

    Abnormal Droppings

    She’s acting normal. At night, she sleeps in one of the laying boxes instead of on the roost, but she’s been doing that for awhile. They eat a GMO free layer pellet by Bar Ale. The feed store ran out a few months back and they talked me into trying a Nutrena product. Even though I introduced it...

    Abnormal Droppings

    I have a 3 1/2 year old Brahma with abnormal droppings/diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. I have already bathed her once and did a 5-day coarse of corid (1 teas./1/2 gallon of water) but her droppings still don’t look normal and her vent area is covered again. Any suggestions? Could it be...

    Please help! Sick hen, watery green poo.

    UPDATE: I did worm the whole flock, but with temps near 100 I couldn’t cage her right away and bringing her inside wasn’t an option (I receive chemotherapy and my doctor would freak out!) The past few days have been much cooler so I was able to cage her and mix tetracycline soluble powder in her...
