None of our other girls have flown over the fence or...

    When to get our Chicken put down? Please advice really needed.

    Quote: Respiratory infections are super common in chickens. Get some Sulmet from the feed store (it works on respiratory stuff in addition to coccidia). Or see what kind of antibiotics they've got that you can add to their water. Antibiotics for birds are cheap. I have been to seriously 6...

    When to get our Chicken put down? Please advice really needed.

    Quote: I checked for mites and lice I don't see anything and she has pooed a few times today and it looks normal to. She just is sneezing and lethargic those are really her only symptoms.

    When to get our Chicken put down? Please advice really needed.

    Yesterday I noticed one of our Buff Silkies not acting right. She just wasn't as active as she should be. She is 5 months old right now and we have 2 other bantams that are the same age that came with her. This morning when I went to let them out to free range she did not move to come out. After...

    Will this Hen come around?

    Quote: She won't even come out for treats. My other Hens LOVE bread and mealworms I tried both and nothing. I even attempted grapes, and cabbage but she is not interested. She wasn't treated like a pet with previous owner so I don't think she understands what I'm doing when I'm trying to get...
