    Rats in chicken pen!!!

    He had a similiar issue with mice and rats here in Round Rock, lots of limestone caves where the little buggers live. We would have dozens scurrying up the trees, coops and run when we would go out at night. One step we took was getting metal feeders where the hens step on a bar to open it...

    Marek's Disease vaccine - older poulets and hens

    Finally came to the conclusion one of our hens does not have a worm issue but has Marek's disease. I had to dispatch her this morning. Question now ... Is it too late to vaccinate the other pullets and hens ( they range in age from 6 months to a couple years) or is it a lost cause? Thanks ...

    Floppy legs, not eating, loose stool

    To add on more to the prior note ... My daughter found a chicken poop that had a white worm about 2" long and the diameter of a "thin" piece of angel hair pasta noodle. We also just returned from the feed store where we talked with someone who suggested we treat all of our hens with Corid...

    Sleepy Lathargic Barred Rock

    She did have a slight runny nose when we first quarantined her, the mucos was clear. Also her eyes seemed to tear, again clear liquid. We did give her a shot of Tynan 3 days ago, but no change yet. I saw a reference on another post that green poop is a sign of infection or starvation. She...

    Another Sneezing question - Medicines?

    I'm a new chicken owner, so I know I have a lot to learn. Our silkie pullet is sneezing and breathing with a little rattle. I've been watching over the past few days and there is no discharge from the nose or mouth. Her energy level and appetite are good. Is there any over the counter animal...
