    chickens dying. Some very sudden

    When I had the chicks in the brooder in the house there was nothing in they're poop that I found unusual. The hen that's not doing too well is diarrhea when she has a bowel movement which is not often cause she's not eating. I went to the feed store and got some Corid and started treating her...

    chickens dying. Some very sudden

    About a month ago I bought 8 chicks from an individual. I kept them in the house and away from the rest of my flock. Every single chick died. They would be fine one minute and dead the next. I contacted the person I bought them from and they told me theirs had died too so I'm assuming...

    Sneezing chickens

    Thank you all so very much! I was at TSC yesterday and like Apryl29, I guessed at what to buy. They were out of electrolytes, but will check with my local feed store.

    Sneezing chickens

    No, there are no other symptoms. They are healthy otherwise. They are allowed to free range for the biggest part of the day. Before free ranging, they are both in the coop and are able to go into a large run. I have a drop board that I clean off once a week. I've noticed them sneezing both...

    Sneezing chickens

    Thank you! I read your link. Did you use the Tylan? I've thought about that, but didn't know if it had egg withdrawal or not. I can't do anything like that because I sell my eggs. It's not been hot or dry the past few weeks, so I don't think that's the culprit. My birds also free range...

    Sneezing chickens

    I have 14 chickens. Some are sneezing. I've been treating the whole flock by using VetRx on them once daily for about 4 days and that's been helping, but there are a few that are still sneezing. Other than the sneezing, they seem healthy. I noticed that the VetRx smells like VapoRub and was...

    Pale yolks

    Thank you for responding! Now that you mention it, I've not been giving them cracked corn because weevils got into it and I had to dump it. I've not had a chance to get more. Thank you!

    Pale yolks

    I've started noticing some egg yolks are more pale than others. I don't know why though. They are all fed the same Non-Gmo laying mash, a scoopful of sunflower seeds each day and are allowed to free range from about noon to 8:00pm. Any ideas?

    Help! Roo rough on Chicken!

    We're fairly new to having chickens and a friend just now told me about this! Instead of ordering one and having to wait for it to come, I'm just going to make her one myself....or a few of them so I'll be able to keep them clean. Thank you so much for replying!

    Help! Roo rough on Chicken!

    We have 12 hens and 1 rooster. 4 of those hens are older chickens and are full grown adults. The other 8 range from what I would consider an early teen to teenager in chicken (sorry, haven't had chickens long, so I don't know technical terms, but about 4 of those 8 are laying, the others are...

    Chickens to stay off carport

    Thanks for the suggestions. A fence wouldn't work because we also have an indoor / outdoor dog. We don't feed them around the carport, but we do hand feed them so therefore any time they see us, they come running. I've thought about blowing a loud whistle every time I find them in the...

    Chickens to stay off carport

    Hello!! I'm a new member from Georgia. I have 12 hens and 1 roo. They free range during the day, and we put them up at night in the coop so that they are safe from predators. Love my birds, but they like to get on my carport and porch and poop all over it!! Is there anyway to make them stay...
